The Black Vault

On Thursday May 13th I seen this on the local news. It's funny that during the broadcast they said this time it wasn't aliens doing the noise.

Camp Pendleton Noise Advisory
Residents in South Orange County heard a series of booms Thursday evening.

Windows and nerves were rattled, and pets were shaken up.

What were they? Who was responsible?

Reporter Suzie Suh found out.

It seems Camp Pendleton has been running a series of mortar drills. To find out when they are scheduled to have more drills, click on the link below.

There are no links, and why is this a batch of lies fed to the US? Camp Pendleton has been where it is for a very long time before homes got built closer. Who would be surprized to hear such a thing coming out of the most major Marine Base on the west coast?

oh here is the link http://www.cpp.usmc.mil/information/noiseAdvisory.asp
Over SoCal there are always sonic booms. I just believe there's alot of expiremental craft so they always say some excuse. I hear sonic booms where I live all the time. I live in Lancaster but I used to Live between Mojave and Rosamond Ca. Lately I have heard a double sonic boom that I never heard before. Why now after those homes have been built there for how long now are they hearing Sonic Booms? I just don't believe anything they say.

Well, sonic booms are nothing new. When I lived in San Diego, jets out of Miramar would fly out into the desert on training missions and they caused sonic booms. When I was a kid living in Houston we lived right across the freeway from Ellington AFB, and back then they went supersonic over populated areas all the time, even though they denied it. Ellington had a first response Cold War wing there, I figured. A couple of times they got the local police to come and tell us that we had to stop flying our kites so high because they might get in the way of the jets. They were always breaking windows in our neighborhood.

A Marine base is probably not going to have research aircraft, I would think. Mine clearing bombs? Yeah, I can believe that.

Pretty good catch, CB, though I don't recall the military denying sonic booms back then. Heck, most of us thought of it as The Sound Of Freedom, and virtually applauded every time we heard single or MULTIPLE booms. We'd take bets on whether it was a Delta Dart, a Starfighter, etc.

Well, over a city you're gonna get complaints. I didn't care, I was a kid. The only thing I didn't like was being told not to fly my kite. Freedom, what what?

To be fair, I live near Camp Pendelton, and there are times we hear the booms.

Also occasionally..because So-Cal is home to so much of this kind of thing, we hear a sonic boom and even see a spiral in the sky from a rocket launched, or a boom from a space shuttle (rarely)
