Hi, this is my first post so please forgive me if I do something wrong.

I live in Torrance, Ca. and today at 4:11pm and 4:39pm PST I heard and felt what I think were sonic booms, I’m almost positive they were because I remember the shuttle’s booms when it was flying into EDW. I don’t think it was a missile from Vandenberg cause there were no trails, I don’t think it was from San Clemente Island because they usually warn us on TV about dropping bombs and stuff. My only ideas are that it was maybe one of NASA’s hypersonic test planes, or the military was doing some high speed flying over the ocean. (Which I don’t remember ever happening before.) Anyway, I was just wondering if any of you that live out here heard it and if anyone has some ideas on what it was.

P.S.: I took the times down because of what happened before… just in case. ;-)
