“We were right there in the house and it just felt like something hit our roof, like some kind of explosion hit our roof,” a Dana Point resident said.

Some said they heard an explosion, while others said they felt their doors and windows shake.

“At first, I thought someone was already knocking on the door and it wasn’t because I went outside and looked for someone and there was no one around,” said Richard Rodriguez, a resident of Leisure World.

The mysterious tremor was felt this morning in at least three counties, mainly along the coast from La Jolla to Malibu. After more than 100 people in Laguna Beach went online to share their experiences, officials texted the public that the city was aware of an unconfirmed earthquake-like event in the area, beginning at 8:20 a.m. There are no reports of any damage.

“I didn’t feel any movement and I had a lot of earthquakes,” said Karen Slough, a resident of Laguna Niguel. “I just heard the crackle and the closed door. That was it.”

A woman on Balboa Peninsula, in Newport Beach, wrote in Next Door, “Earthquake? Anyone feel these two houses rattling?”

The folks at Dana Point Harbor describe it happening not once, but twice at 8 a.m. Many went to the Internet to check for signs of an earthquake, but found nothing.

“It definitely rocked the campground,” said Kristen Kassouf, a Dana Point visitor.

Dr. Lucy Jones, the most famous seismologist in Southern California, replied on Twitter.

“If you were wondering what it felt like in Orange County this morning…there is no earthquake in Orange County this morning,” she wrote on Twitter.

CalTech Seismic Lab also responded via Twitter.

“Sound booms are the most common reason people feel an event not seen on Earth,” the organization wrote on Twitter.

Additionally, a Camp Pendleton spokesperson said there was no training at the base that would have created noises being heard up and down the coast.

CBSLA has also reached out to the US Space Command about testing a Russian anti-satellite missile that is generating a lot of debris in space. The US command said the timing did not match.
