First off- found the (P) and (S) messages really funny. Are they actual?
Second. I live in San Diego County high up on the slope of a solid rock
mountain. Over the last few nights have heard a very unusual thrumming,
rumbling and PULSED takeoff sound shortly after dark. I highly suspect, from
what I have heard, that this is the Pulsed wave detonation engine, producer
of the notorious "donuts-on-a-rope" contrail. Anyone else in So Cal hear
this thing leaving around
2030-2300 ?? Also, heard unusual conversation on 369.9 a few weeks ago-
(High-altitude SoCal apr) X-RAY 77 callsign heard to ATC. Could only hear
Aircraft side of conversation. Then heard, "Negative 809 is Oscar today".
Then they were handed off to Joshua APR and said " NASA 809 descending from
DELTA plus 9"- then a minute or two later "SANTE FE 807, and NASA 809
descent out of 60 over Lake Isabella". (348.7)
anyone know what these NASA aircraft are or what altitude "DELTA" is?
Anyhow, there is a definitely new, fast, and loudly pulsing aircraft leaving
SoCal at dark. Would love to have a night vision camera up on the Angeles
Forest ridge above Palmdale to see what it looks like.
I think it's alot bigger than most people think it is. It literally vibrates
our house, which is out in the back-country, when it leaves and its got to
be 200 plus miles away (minimum). scullen911@hotmail.com
