From the North County to the South Bay, people reported hearing and feeling a big "boom" around 4:20 p.m. Monday. San Diego firefighters received a number of calls, including one from their own Clairemont fire station, reporting the loud sound. Users of NBCSanDiego sent in e-mails from Clairemont to Vista to Eastlake, reporting not only hearing what they described as a loud boom but also feeling it. "It made the windows shudder," wrote Geoff Hurley of Eastlake. "It sounded like two booms with a few seconds in between each." Cathy and Lee Smith of Simpson's Nursery wrote, "We just felt what could be described as a huge sonic boom or like an earthquake without the ground shaking in Jamul. Our house & windows shook enough to make me run outside!" There were no reports of earthquake activity around that time according to the most recent data from the U.S. Geological Survey website.

I think the most likely explanation is fighter jets out at Sea on Sortee's or simply doing training, and the Sonic boom reverberated from a Inversion Layer and tjis carried it further towards the coast than it usually would do on normal days.
Scientists said the spot where the rattling boom originated 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. But Steve Fiebing, a Coronado-based Navy representative, 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. Peter Shearer, a Scripps professor involved in the research, has no idea whether the disturbance was natural or made by humans. "I would guess it's either an explosion that somebody hasn't told us about or it could have been a meteor coming into the atmosphere," Shearer said.

At approx.1PM Monday outside of the Tucson area we experienced a large what we would call a blast from mine operation.
But the mine is not running and blast was too larger for normal mine activity.
It shook the ground and the whole house rattled.
And have not heard from anyone or news what it might have been.
Sea Shadow was revealed to the public in 1993, and was housed at the San Diego Naval Station until September 2006, when it was relocated with the HMB-1 to the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet in Benicia, CA. The vessels are available for donation to a maritime museum.
The United States Navy and the U.S. Department of Defense have decided that their Northwest Training Range Complex, in the State of Washington, should be expanded, and have devised a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), dated December 2008, for public review and comment. The expansion of their area of operation will include all of the State of Washington, all of the State of Oregon, part of the state of Idaho, and Northern California. This area will also include large areas of the Pacific Ocean from California to the State of Washington
HAARP heats up a section of sky and the cooling will create an inward collapse causing a great sound.
