"I've been in the military, I've got experience with explosives, I was a Navy diver and was definitely not a gunshot," Hertz said.
Local police municipalities have been receiving reports of the booms since early April. All reported sounds have taken place between the hours of 2 a.m. and 4:30 a.m.
Crompton and her daughter heard the booms on two occasions.
