A shockwave? Well, this happens with some frequency actually. Gravitational wave detectors are used nowadays to identify collisions between pairs of massive objects, like black hole pairs, neutron star pairs, or black holes and neutron stars. The waves generated in the very fabric of space time can only be detected by very sensitive detectors, because their effects are so slight by the time they reach us. We wouldn't notice those at all, without the necessary equipment.
