Anyone noticed a war going on or something?

[Lancer]

I mean locally. There have been military jets overhead zooming about and just now there was a massive explosion. Ground shook, house vibrated...friends next door ran outside and looked at the sky as I did.

Dolores was not happy.

Heard a few sonic booms but nothing like that. Jets still overhead, can hear their rumble, sometimes roar. Seems to be fairly constant, just varying degrees. Far away now.

Over the central Oregon Coast. Anyone hears whats up please post it, thanks.

Local PD seems to think it was sonic boom. Don't know why it was so very powerful.

[Barnabas]

Don't you live in the Philippines? It must be the muslims

[SlowwHand]

Read up, Eyes. O-R-E-G-O-N C-O-A-S-T. USA. Dig out a map.

[Lancer]

Not in the Phils yet. If this had happened over there I would assume a volcano had blew or something.

No more jets I guess they got called back to have a boot installed in their asses.

You gotta read this...

This page says its 'right click protected' so I can't post the story. Very interesting though. 'Mystery booms'.

That was a boom to end all booms. An all pervasive sound.

OREGON - People from the coast all the way to the mountains heard mysterious rumbles Saturday night, so what on earth were they? No, it was not an earthquake from Mount St. Helens and it was not thunder and lightening. It seems everyone had their idea what the noises were and nearly everyone had a different opinion about how long it lasted. A meteor was the best guess from the National Weather Service, but that is unconfirmed. The 911 dispatch center told KATU News they heard it was military jets causing sonic booms. Monday morning, KATU contacted McChord Air Force Base to find out if they were conducting some kind of exercise over the metro area. They were still waiting to hear back from them.

UPDATE - The source of those mysterious rumblings over the weekend that caught the attention of so many continues to be a mystery. The focus is on F-15s at the Portland Air Base, which KATU News was originally told were on the ground, but later learned were not. It turns out a group of F-15s were launched from the Portland International Airport Saturday night as part of three days of intensive training. Within an hour of their departure, people started hearing things and feeling some rumblings. That is when the 911 calls began. Even the commander of the F-15 squadron heard the strange noise from his home in Lake Oswego. The logical explanation seemed to be that the fighter jets set off a sonic boom, but the Air National Guard says it does not make sense that so many people, from Longview to the Oregon coast, would hear the same sonic booms at the same time. A much smaller range of 10 to 20 miles is more likely. With so many wondering what happened, the Air National Guard is continuing its investigation. That leaves others to speculate about meteors and to do comparisons with a similar unexplained phenomenon in FLORIDA last year and in MAINE just last month. Others speculate it is a secret government plane, code-named Aurora, which supposedly flies out of Area 51 in Nevada. For years, unusually intense sonic booms rocked LOS ANGELES, with many believing it was Aurora passing by at four times the speed of sound. The Air National Guard says they plan to interview the pilots individually on Wednesday, which may lead to some kind of answer. Each time an F-15 pilot causes a sonic boom over populated areas, they are required to write a log of the event.

Skywatch NOTE - Mystery booms deep in the plate boundary were reported in Indonesia in the months before the December 2004 quake and tsunami.

This is classified information. I'm afraid I'll have to turn youin to the Air Force. Also, pay no attention to those flashing lights emitting from a circular aircraft.

[Lancer]

Markos, thanks.

BOOM Sloww, classified? It was BBBHHOOOOM. The BAAARRRROOOOOM heard round the coast. Secret? BOOM! Classify that!

The invasion has begun. Little green men and their sonic weapons. Space marines from Antares try to secure a zone for transport ships to land more troops.
US forces are fighting back.

[Lancer]

Dry, that really did cross my mind. If you could have heard the jets zooming around like they were serious about it. So unless Cali invaded it had to be space aliens...

[Zkribbler]

It sounds more like the beginning of a putsch by the Alaskan National Guard

[Supr49er]

Can you see Oregon from Alaska?

[Lancer]

Only if you're in one of their Alaskan National Guard F-15s.

Zkrib, we need to get the heck outa here!
