Phenomena produce theories, but no answers

Life can serve up a good mystery every once in a while. Weird things happen that defy explanation, that make us wonder how much we really know about the world.
Something of the sort happened in San Diego County shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 4, and so far no one has come forward with an explanation.

Whatever it was, it caused a woman's bed to shake in Lakeside. It created waves in a backyard pool in Carmel Valley. It set off car alarms in Kearny Mesa and rattled windows from Mission Beach to Poway to Vista. At various spots throughout the county, people reported a rumbling sound or a booming noise.
Scientists insist it wasn't an earthquake. The Federal Aviation Administration has no record of any planes producing a sonic boom by breaking the sound barrier.

Camp Pendleton officials say no activities on the Marine base could have created such a disturbance. There were no large explosions in San Diego County that day, and no meteor fireballs were reported in the sky that morning.

What was it, then?



“My garage door is double steel and it weighs about 500 lbs. It was rattling back and forth like a leaf in the wind for about 3 or 4 seconds.”

Mystery disturbance traced to sound wave


Scripps scientists say it traveled over the ocean to desert

A group of local scientists has uncovered some clues to the source of a mysterious disturbance that rattled San Diego County on the morning of April 4, shaking windows, doors and bookcases from the coast to the mountains.

The scientists, based at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, say the disturbance was caused by a sound wave that started over the ocean and petered out over the Imperial County desert. Using data from more than two dozen seismometers, they traced its likely origin to a spot roughly 120 miles off the San Diego coast.
That spot is in the general vicinity of Warning Area 291, a huge swath of ocean used for military training exercises. The Navy operates a live-fire range on San Clemente Island, which is within Warning Area 291 and sits about 65 miles from Mission Bay.

The researchers also have charted dozens of similar, if less dramatic, incidents that seem to have originated in the same general area of the ocean. They aren't sure what caused any of them.

Peter Shearer, a Scripps professor involved in the research, has no idea whether the April 4 disturbance was natural or made by humans.



Steve Fiebing, a Coronado-based Navy spokesman, said the live-fire range on San Clemente Island was inactive April 4. He also said there was no Navy or Marine Corps flight activity in Warning Area 291 on that day that would have caused a sonic boom or a countywide tremor.

The area, also known in military circles as Whiskey 291, covers 1 million square miles and is off-limits to civilian planes and ships, Fiebing said.

“There was no unusual training that would have caused anything close to what people here felt,” he said.

Cmdr. William Fenick, another local Navy spokesman, said no San Diego-based warships were conducting operations in Warning Area 291 that day.

So what is going on and what was this? I am honestly asking.
Here is an image of the 'path' of this thing...sound....
LINK TO FULL IMAGE


Just minutes ago, near this area we had 2 quakes.
A 3.6 Monday, May 8, 2006 at 5:13:36 PM - earthquake.usgs.gov...
A 3.1 Monday, May 8, 2006 at 5:30:33 PM - earthquake.usgs.gov...


First we have this odd sound wave from somewhere/something then we have 2 quakes about 1 month later in the same area.Quakes are nothing odd here, but with that sound wave/boom and then quakes in/from the same area....odd.

So doing more searching I have found that this is still not solved nor does it llok like it ever will be.It also looks like it iwll just fade away.

I did however find more to this.I found that while doing a
www.signonsandiego.com... r%3BS%3Awww.signonsandiego.com...%3BAWFID%3A9cc4a60ad1ae1e65%3B" target="_blank" class="postlink">google search, there are MANY, and I mean many, sites that picked up on this subject of mysterious booms.A few interesting sites of course were Alex Jones' Prison Planet and UFO Area

While reading, I did see that I missed a paragraph that I think is interesting.Interesting because of all the links on this issue, many are turning towards this explaination.The idea is that it is militery and that it had to do with Aurora.
Among bloggers and Web-based conspiracy theorists, one of the leading explanations for the San Diego disturbance is that the military is testing a top-secret spy plane called the Aurora, which supposedly can travel several times the speed of sound.

“Sir, I've never even heard of that plane before,” an Air Force spokeswoman in Virginia responded when asked about the possibility.

Some suggest an 'airburst' but that too has been ruled out as no meteor was spotted on April 4th over the state of California.

Here is a local news report on video about this issue and some expert interviews.

I also found while searching the google link above a page on these and other 'booms' of the same type.What is interesting is the suggestion of HAARP being involved.
You can read more on that here
HAARP is capable of blasting a super-charged, high frequency radio wave into the earth's atmosphere. This controllable [?] radio wave is so powerful and electromagnetically charged that it can actually lift the ionosphere while simultaneously heating it! The ionosphere is an electromagnetically charged shield that surrounds the earth's upper atmosphere. The ionosphere (ozone layer) protects the earth from deadly radiation and spikes emitted by the sun.


An interesting thing is, we have this sorta HAARP thing in San Diego.Along Imperial Beach strand you can view this huge structure of antena.Here is a Google Maps shot you can zoom in on.Not much you can see from there, but here is an image to give you an idea.




This is/was known as AN/FRD-10 CLASSIC BULLSEYE which was shut down in the 1990's ..... so what could it be being used for now?
