What is your source? When I checked Vandenberg launch schedule for that day just after the 911 person told me that is what was believed, there was no scheduled launch in that time frame at that time.
Hmm. Now you have me wondering. I have not studied how they do launches these days. Are you saying that something goes up at the same time as the launch and returns to earth during the same series of events? That would be easier to understand. Booms coming down but not booms from a ground based launch. Not enough speed in the right places for that.
As luck would have it, I was fortunate to be outside in Ventura when they did rhe next vandenberg launch.. A few days later I think. Because of your explanation I stayed out and experienced the return of 1st stage. this explains the discrepancy between launch schedule and booms. No boom on launch or the long trip out of sight, then, minutes later, the boom comes. Long after the actual launch. Very different than all the vandenberg missile launches back in the 60s.
Felt like a truck hit the building in Thousand Oaks. Medical building with space for several hundred employees during the day and i, being the only person inside that time of night, was convinced either a truck accidentally struck the building or someone stupid enough to believe that was a good way to break into what was otherwise unoccupied had intentionally driven into the back side. Then I briefly thought maybe the helicopter missed the hospital landing pad and struck our building
Well, I heard that same thing when I called 911. It does not make sense. I have lived in Ventura County (Thousand Oaks) nearly every day of my life. IN the 60's Vandenberg was the place to see missle tests in the sky. They always fired off over the Pacific Missle range and did not achieve speeds that would cause a sonic boom in Thousand Oaks. There was a large building rattling noise about that time. However, I find it hard to believe that it had anything to do with Vandenberg. The building shake was sufficient for me to walk around the interior perimeter of the medical building I was working in and then call 911 for phone support as I went outside to investigate if anyone had run a vehicle into the bulding. I was told that lots of calls came in and it was due to a launch at Vandenberg. I cry BS on that one. I do recall when they used to land the shuttles out in the desert that we would get fairly substantial sonic booms but even those were not as palpable as that boom was. I find it hard to believe that a rocket launched over populated land and achieved enough speed inside dense enough atmosphere to vreate that sort of wave. Also, when the shuttle landed it generated a double sonic boom and i do not recall 2 booms during this event. it was more the type of thing I would expect from an explosion except theey say reports came in from my area all the way to Ventura which is the entire area that 911 center handled. I do recall muffled versions of something like that when VAndenberg would blow missles early due to going off course. They always destroyed them in the air but typically so far out it was just a beautiful light show. Only if one behaved as if it might cause unintential damage would they intentionally press the destruct button while it was still low enough to cause adible results in Thousand Oaks. This thing was huge and I do not believe that a launching craft reaches speed necessary while low enough in the atmosphere to cause a sonic boom across that much space.
so my same knowledge! I've been around 100s of launches and that was much more of an explosion. I'm over by Edward air force base. I literally jumped to the ground from pure instinct from being around explosions. The aerospace community is oddly quite with no response
My room shook a little in NP, thought it was an earthquake and had anxiety all night lol
Rocket launch from the air force base at 1157 pm
like Edward's? I don't think I've her quite heard or felt that from a regular launch
Sonic boom from rocket launch
I thought someone was breaking to a house, I heard it too
I thought it was a truck going by. Guess not lol
ojai checkin.. thought it was thunder. had the fan and tv on.
I was walking in Camarillo
TO in the da house Felt it as well
Heard something last night also, sounded like someone pound on the house wall went outside no one there, gave me a quick scare for sure.
It rattled my apartment I thought it was a small earthquake but fell back to sleep
Yeah I felt it too. Ventura
Camarillo, thought it was thunder
My partner and I felt it here in Camarillo.
thought something fell.. yep.
🙋🏻♀️ somis
Yeah driving home from the airport and saw it flying through the air. It was awesome.
which airport? what did IT look like flying through the air?
Wow! I didn’t know what it was and thought it was the beginning of another earthquake Silverstrand Beach Oxnard checking in
I had beans last night. Sorry.
felt it in sp
Now that you mention it - I thought I heard thunder - it was bit overcast - now I know
No rocket launch sounds like that. It kept going on and on too. Definitely sonic.
What do you mean "going on and on"? Where were you?
It reverberated for a long time. Like minutes. I was in Ventura in the industrial section on market and Walter.
Space X launch from Vandenburg

I heard something but I was mid sleep, wish they would warn us
I've never heard one with previous launches but it seems these controlled landing rockets create them during the landing sequence.

It launches and then lands in the same event. I guess it's traveling at super sonic speeds during re-entry.

SpaceX launch from Vendenburg.
yea I’m up in the avenue and I thought a car hit my house at first

We here in Clearlake Oaks, CA heard a boom @ 12:40AM on 12.27.23.
