nancy wrote on Apr 5, 2006 8:17 AM:Did anyone consider that maybe it was a meteor that exploded? This kind of phenomenon does happen and it makes a very loud noise.

no more secrets wrote on Apr 5, 2006 8:51 AM:I believe it was a military test maneuver, but you know how the military is....they never admit anything. Heck, they still dismiss ufo's. Duh.

Roger wrote on Apr 5, 2006 12:19 PM:As per usual, we all know this will go uninvestigated. If things of this nature go unchecked, then what hope have we against a new wave of terrorist attacks on US soil? I do belive this may have been a atmospheric meteor explosion since no land quake detection centers reported this 4.0+ like quake. Someone knows about it i guess, but are not talking. Makes you wonder hey? I wont say UFO technology being tested at Mira Mar AFB....

Mudslides wrote on Apr 5, 2006 1:56 PM:Maybe they were just preparing for these storms, shaking the earth up for some predicted mudslides. Come on, it was the base with very bad timing. I grew up around here and it was common, very, very common to hear and feel the same shakes and noises, very often in the 60's and 70's. And it was known to be from Camp Pendelton. Never denied.

mj wrote on Apr 5, 2006 3:40 PM:I did a google search on "mystery boom" a bit later in the day and found that in several instances around the world in the past year the same thing occurred. All stories I read described basically the same event-type. In my office we are torn between UFOs and Government conspiracies. I am inclined to agree with the exploding meteor theory, having seen the one that streaked across the northern US in 1973 which made a similar noise and rattling in Minneapolis.

raustin wrote on Apr 5, 2006 6:22 PM:I like the meteor idea. I have trouble believing in any Goverment conspiracies, that would mean the goverments of the world are actually competent. If I can't believe that so much for the ability to have a successful conspiracy.

don't want to be apathetic wrote on Apr 7, 2006 11:22 AM:Why hasn't there been any follow-up investigation or reporting? If this noise had occured in LA, NYC, or DC, it would still be in the news!

Exactly wrote on Apr 7, 2006 4:17 PM:Don't want to be apathetic is right. But if this noise had occurred in LA, NYC, or DC the whole place would have been shut down looking for terrorists and their "weapons of mass destruction"!

Holly wrote on Apr 11, 2006 4:31 AM:Has anyone followed up on this story yet? Has anything more been found out? That boom really scared me and I'm still concerned about it.

Hal wrote on Apr 27, 2006 12:56 PM:Yup, must have been the spyplane AURORA going super super sonic, thats the BOOM you hear, google Aurora and see what comes up, since the SR-71 was mothballed
