It threw everything around the cockpit, my hand came off the stick, my wife bumped her head on the overhead and in general scared the crap out of us. We were still flying so and nothing felt wrong so we pressed on. Then it was back to the occasional bump. I have no idea what it was but I think it might have been some wake turbulence from an aircraft that we didn't see.
