This was followed by strange events in the skies: having regard to the official versions refer to hunting military to intercept aircraft "unknown" and no flight plan (?), Exceed the sound barrier, creating the characteristic bang. A Libyan plane suspect was at the center, in the sky over Naples, one of these events. The official version is not convincing, since it is always the same and, at all times, not only in contradiction with the testimony of citizens, but also unsubstantiated. The official version reads:
Two strong explosions having regard to heard by the inhabitants of the Vesuvian area and different neighborhoods of Naples, apparently coming from the area of Vesuvius, they did get dozens of phone calls to the fire this morning around 8:15 also from the province. Then he discovered the truth (sic). The roar was caused by two F16 fighters that have exceeded the speed of sound, causing the so-called sonic booms during the interception of a suspicious having regard to aircraft. The two aircraft, the Wing of Trapani, had taken off after notification of an aircraft unknown, because no regular flight plan. He was returning from a flight refueling mission in Chad as part of the European EUFOR. During the two phases of the interception F16 have reached and exceeded the speed of sound, causing sonic booms. The intercepted aircraft, as reconstructed from the Air, it appeared to be unknown, is devoid of the flight plan. The institutions of civil air traffic then immediately alerted having regard to the military chain, and at 7:18, he was given the order to "scramble", ie take-off immediate alarm. From the 37 / o Wing of Trapani - after six minutes, at 7:24 - are up in flight two fighter F16. The aircraft had since been identified, but the pilot had provided having regard to unclear (?). In addition, informed that it was the subject of an interception, said that he changed course, confirming his suspicion having regard to attitude. The aircraft has been reached on the main Naples-Foggia at 7:45 and within minutes he was escorted up to the north of the Tremiti islands, off the national airspace. Ceased to alarm the two F16 returned to base.
I heard rumblings from the population will not, however, having regard to been caused by a collision between tankers, given the intense traffic chemical? In fact, the first news broadcast by national radio indicated a mid-air collision between two planes! Every time you hear this deafening roars, military and civil protection provide the same reassuring statements. You can hear, however, generated a bang at 40,000 feet (12,000 meters) so strong as to arouse having regard to panic among the inhabitants or the sound from that height should having regard to not be attuttito? The speed of sound in the atmosphere decreases with altitude because the air pressure decreases.
Finally, it has been shown, as in previous cases, no photograph having regard to of the alleged plane intercepted it would be a Russian-made Ilyushin 76. Moreover, it seems unlikely the need to reach the speed of sound (about 1200 km / h - Mach 1) to intercept an aircraft that does not exceed 780 km / h top speed. As in previous cases, the authorities there Ammannato a non-plausible, if we consider the contradiction between the testimonies, and soon after, the usual story of the interception by the work of hunting. I wonder why then all those aircraft engaged in clandestine operations of aerosols, yes indeed those without a flight plan and not detected by radar, are not even considered by the national having regard to air traffic control.
NASA continues to conduct studies to reduce the intensity of sonic booms. In the program of 2004 called "Shaped Sonic Boom Demonstration project", a team of engineers of NASA Langley Research Center and Dryden Flight Research Center together with the aviation company Northrop Grumman, carried out experiments at Edwards AFB on airfoils of an F5 -E to explore the scope for reduction of the phenomenon, having regard to in order to be able to make it possible for new aircraft generation supersonic flight over populated areas also. In October 2005, Israel used the F-16 aircraft to create sonic booms over the Gaza Strip as a method having regard to of psychological warfare. The practice was condemned by the United Nations. An Israeli intelligence source reported that the tactic was adopted to counter the support of the civilian population by armed Palestinian groups, especially those who threw the Qassam rockets into Israeli having regard to population centers. In the same article it was reported the controversial report of a Palestinian psychiatrist having regard to who denounced it as the sonic booms have produced serious effects on the health of children in Gaza, causing anxiety, panic, decreased concentra
