I was camping in west Wales (UK) in summer and there were some really odd sounds coming in off the sea. The sounds were not audibly ‘loud’; you could here them but they sounded like they were a long way off. What was strange was that they ‘hurt’ the eardrum and could be felt in the chest.
I speculated that it was big guns or something. But I’ve no idea really.
Does anyone know what this could be? The internet is particularly unhelpful.
- tyingq 8y agoPembrey Sands Air Weapons Range maybe? http://www.aeroresource.co.uk/operational-reports/pembrey-sands-air-weapons-range/ http://www.aeroresource.co.uk/operational-reports/pembrey-sa...
- sjclemmy 8y agoI don’t think so. We were near Tywyn. So Pembrey is probably a bit far south.
- tyingq 8y agoThere's this also: https://www.milfordmarina.com/cardigan-bay-danger-area-mod-aberporth/ https://www.milfordmarina.com/cardigan-bay-danger-area-mod-a... Looks like they have a pretty broad "danger area".
- sjclemmy 8y agoThat’s the range. So definitely a test of some sort. Possibly the MIRACH system as detailed here https://aberporth.qinetiq.com/faq/index.aspx https://aberporth.qinetiq.com/faq/index.aspx
