interesting...

OrangeMedia reports "Strange Booms Heard in Key US Cities":

I've lived in S. OC Beach Cities for 17 years. Seems every time I hear "booms" we mix it up with national enemies.

• Booms prior to Panama; 1989
• Booms prior to Gulf War; 1991.
• Booms prior to Bosnia; 1998.
• Booms prior to Desert Fox; 1998.
• Booms prior to Enduring Freedom; 2001.
• Booms prior to Iraqi Freedom; 2003.

Booms now; (strange ones) Heard near Camp Pendleton, CA and in Jackson County, Missouri. Close to Whiteman B-2 Base.

Hmmmmm.

That post is a couple of days old, but doesn't say how much time elapses after the sounds until hostilities break out.

Maybe we'll soon see the headline "Osama/Zarqawi Summit Turns Into A Real Blast."

update: In comments, I asked RussInSoCal/OrangeMedia "How much time elapsed between the "booms" and the start of hostilities". The answer is "Time varied between 4-8 weeks as best I can remember". The original post was on April 26. We'll see...
