What just happened in northwest Louisiana? Unexplained Explosion

reply to post by herrw


I did see a show or news report where a college professor was able to demonstrate how he could hack into a drone and control it in flight.

Once again I will state that the target....if it was in fact targeted by someone.....was not chosen for its military value.
tit for tats don't rely on that.

Nothing at this point is going to convince me that a random meteor...of the perfect size to blow this bunker up, yet not big enough to leave any crater...caused this.......rule the amazing meteor theory out.

we have two distinct flashes...one wasn't the bunker....not even the government will glob onto the meteor theory to sell this....who would believe it?.......but if it were the truth we would have heard it from them in less than 10 hours and we would be looking at CGI reproductions on all the cable news networks.

Wrong, it is still a Louisiana National Guard controlled installation, complete with training facilities, armored personnel carriers, Hum-vees, tanks, etc.

Armed troops guard each entrance / exit....not the rent-a-cop kind, either.

What of the people reporting overnighting hunters and kids school and such? Are they misinformed?Do you know if those things are true?

Youth ChalleNGe Program
Louisianawww.ngycp.org

The Louisiana Youth ChalleNGe Program is a multifaceted program that aims to help at-risk adolescents achieve their education and become productive and responsible members of society.

The first phase of the Louisiana Youth ChalleNGe Program is a 5 month residential alternative military-like school that offers at-risk adolescents an opportunity to work on their education and life skills in a structured and disciplined environment.

Teamwork, discipline, academic excellence and personal growth are emphasized.

The second phase is a 12 month post-residential phase that consists of case managers and community mentors assisting cadets to put into action goals they have realized in the residential phase. During the post-residential phase cadets are monitored as they return to their communities to continue their education or begin employment.

Louisiana has three Youth ChalleNGe locations:

*Camp Beauregard in Pineville
Classes begin in January and July

*Camp Minden near Bossier City
Classes begin in February and August

*The Gillis Long Center in Carville near Baton Rouge
Classes begin in April and October.

Thanks that sure gives a whole different view to the place in my book. Not worth blowing up, but maybe ok for a misleading action.

so..has this all been swept under the rug already?
news sources are so quiet its deafening.
this seems to have been shut down VERY quickly!!

reply to post by autopat51

Yeah, pretty much. Did anyone see a picture of the 7200 ft cloud blast?

I just realized something. Of the meteor sightings mentioned in this thread, only one (the one seen by a member just after the explosion) was from East to West. At the time, Orion (where the Orionids originate from) was just below the horizon to the East-Northeast. That means that every Orionid meteor should be originating roughly from the East. From there, it can head either to the West (overhead), South, or North, but they will always begin in an Easterly direction relative to their heading.

Either the multiple "meteor" sightings during the 2 hours before the bunker explosion weren't Orionid meteors or they weren't meteors at all. These were the sightings at 9:28, 10:20, 10:25, and 10:30. The sighting at 10:25 was the white tail-less object seen from an unknown location, and it's possible that the 10:20 and 10:30 sightings are of the same object given how unreliable times are. There was also a "fireball" sighting at about 11:15, but no direction was given. It's interesting that they're very nearly at hour intervals and along the same line, from Longview, Texas, to Minden, right up until the time of the explosion. As I said, the only meteor sighting after that in the area was seen going in the opposite direction, corresponding to an actual Orionid meteor.

I think it is also interesting that the orbit duration of an object in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is Also about 1 hour, depending upon orbital velocity and actual, average, orbital altitude. And whether the object is following a Polar orbit (common for "spy" satellites), or the more common tran-equitorial orbit (used by most commercial satellites and other spacecraft).


It might be possible, for those more mathematically gifted than I, to begin to calculate a possible "near earth" origin for these, rather mysterious, "meteors".

heh, color me stupid, then. That will teach me to listen to hearsay.

Here's the first sound example I can find.



No indication where this was actually taken though. Frankly, it doesn't sound that impressive.

"Explo Systems Inc. officials canceled two news conferences Tuesday morning. Explo has not yet made an official statement about the blast."

this is unacceptable.

In this day and age the people of the USA should be asking why a Bomb holding depot was left unguarded....Jesus H Christ, have these people learned nothing...Explo inc should be in Guantanamo for aiding and abetting...
Who gives these Clowns these contracts.???...Gary Mckinnon is the least of the USA's Problems when you have private companies like Explo inc on YOUR side....?

Found a Youtube copy of the "flashes" security cam footage.

Placing it here for those that might have missed it a few pages back. Recorded at Lott's Service Center less than 3 miles away from Camp Minden. Time code is an hour behind, you will see one orange flash then a very big second orange flash.

Ful news report about this footage is at ktbs.com

Well it has been removed now.
I'm pretty sure that video was aired in some of the ktbs reports without the sound.

removed already!



CLPrime- so the Orionids hadnt come over the horizon at the time of the sightings and explosion?
i seriously cant believe how quiet the media is over this, its baffling.

Any locals able to get down there and snoop around a little?

Ok here a other fire ball
Boom

I'm about 15 minutes from Goodwill Rd... I could drive out there and look, but chances are, I would have to find a reasonable area and park so I could get out and go look around. Plus by now it wouldve been covered I bet.

On a side note, I saw a 2010+ model white Buick SUV coming out of the plant this morning at 7:30, it was right behind a log truck filled with good sized logs...

GREAT CATCH... I never even thought of that... So now the story gets even more interesting, WTF did these people see???

i am glued to this thread daily!!

1 "meteor" was sighted at 9:28 (if that time can be trusted... the witness specifically stated that they looked at the clock). At that time, the origin of the Orionids, which is just off the extended arm of Orion, was a little below the horizon. Though, meteors can still be seen when the origin is below the horizon...they just have to be traceable back to that origin below the horizon.
2 or 3 were sighted between 10:20 and 10:30. Actually, if I were to hazard a guess, I would guess that 2 objects were observed -- one, a white tail-less object, at about 10:25, and another, described as a red fireball, a couple minutes earlier. The origin of the Orionids at this time was at the horizon.
1 was sighted at about 11:15, just before the explosion, when the origin was a little above the horizon.

All but the last of these objects were seen going from West to East. That means they were heading toward the point where the Orionids come from, when they should have been originating from that direction. Whatever they were, they could not have been Orionid meteors.

The object at 11:15 had no reported direction, so we can't say if that was an Orionid or not.
1 final object was seen just after the explosion in a direction and location consistent with an Orionid meteor.

And we musn't forget the person in Longview, Texas, who reported hearing something "zooming" over their house at the time these "meteors" were being sighted.
