Subject: Re: 'Skyquakes' In Southern California?

EBK - I live in Southern CA and was watching TV when subject
event took place.  I immediately thought it was an earthquake,
but realized that the floor and bed were not shaking.  I got up
to get a drink of water and a second one occurred.  The second
one was signifcantly quieter, but still rattled the windows.

I turned on the local news radio (KNX 1070 AM) to hear if the
"event" was going to be reported.  After the 11:00 PM national
news, they announced that they were receiving a lot of calls from
the south Orange County area regarding sonic booms or an
earthquake.  They went on to say that they had received no
indications of an earthquake.  They also said that they had been
forewarned that there were military exercises underway at camp
Pendleton (about 25 miles south of my house) and that there were
line charges and artillery involved.

In the 5/7/98 LA Times Orange County section, there was a short
article mentioning the noises.  The article stated that the
noises were caused by flight exercises from El Toro (MCAS).  I
don't believe this report as El Toro is only 3 miles West of my
house and I would have heard the jets taking off (I live under
the takeoff pattern) and flight operations after 9:00 PM are
unusual.

I believe the radio report because I have heard artillery from
Camp Pendleton before and this "event" was similar (only slightly
louder).

Thanks for listening!
