Definitely in the Pine Hill section of Eureka. We thought a meth lab had exploded, but a minute or so later, we heard fireworks going off. Shook things enough to make the power go out on a couple of appliance clocks.

Just hypersonic military jets passing through the area. They have been doing it for years. Probably best not wasting EPD time.

What do you think about this as the possible cause of all the booms? https://kymkemp.com/2016/01/12/boom-seen/

This, I think, was a large, commercial-scale fireworks rocket launched close to me, near where Sea Avenue intersects with Union in Eureka.

I heard a loud — as in major fireworks-loud — “Phhhht!” At first I thought that it was something I had done in the house, so I tried to re-create the sound and it didn’t happen. Then the hugest BOOM. It was HUGE, biggest yet for me. The sequence of sounds leads me to think that it was a rocket launched nearby.

I looked out the window, and I could see a trail of smoke drifting off across Union Street. I think some folks have some major fireworks, and they set them off from time to time. . .

I don’t buy in to the crazies and their conspiracy theories for everything they don’t understand.

A couple years ago there was some video footage from an outside surveillance camera at the time of a large boom that captured a glow illuminating an area with buildings, showing their shadows moving rapidly across the ground, as though caused by a rapidly rising glowing object. I think it was the lost coast outpost* that had that footage.

Again, consistent with a large caliber fireworks type of rocket.

* Now Kymkemp.com is my place for local news 🙂 . Loco feels like a tabloid.
