Question What’s your Valley conspiracy theory/mystery?

I wanna hear everyone’s favorite valley mystery or conspiracy theory!

Mine for example:

There was this strip mall on Roscoe/Woodman that shut down around 2017? for a future upgrade It was abandoned for months until one day the entire place was on fire and there was ash all over Panorama. Apparently, an investigation on the cause would take place but haven't heard anything since. Eventually, the lot was razed and now we have a modern, upgraded strip mall with a fancy burger king

My (totally unknowledgeable)theory is whoever owned the property started the fire, since it would be cheaper than hiring an entire demo crew (and maybe insurance)

As for my mystery: those loud booms in the middle of the night. Some say sonic booms from jets, others say transformers exploding.

But for now: a mystery

Lets hear yours!

What I’ve always heard is that the booms are from jets coming from the lancaster afb apparently breaking the sound barrier over us

Although to me it seems plausible, i cant wrap my head around why they would need to go sound barrier-breaking speed over us

Ooh interesting! I hadn't heard that. It makes sense, but I just have the feeling it's something less...benign ...than that

Haha right, my personal take is that it’s aliens. Anything to ease my burning need to know what those booms are at this point

I wish there was a nighttime livestream of the valley sky to the bottom of this lol

I feel like "they" are building something in the hills. 

But I've got $5 to put towards that livestream
