I heard it. It wasn't gunshots, it was some sort of double explosion, possibly large (illegal) mortar style fireworks. Its hard to tell where it came from. It sounded like it was inland, but smoke over the beach sounds like fireworks. Either way it is another sign of how the neighborhood is losing control.

I was driving up the Fernleaf ramp from Bayside Drive toward Seaview shortly after midnight last night. I saw two bright flashes in my rearview mirror and immediately heard "BAM, BAM!" so loud that I thought the noise was coming from my trunk. My husband was driving ahead of me, perhaps 100 feet and did not see the flashes, but heard the noise. For Lt. Sailor to say "it was nothing" seems a little dismissive. It was definitely SOMETHING. You could smell it in the air after we parked at home. It wasn't a backfire, but I have no idea what gunpowder smells like.

I am live on goldenrod and heard it. It sounded like gun shots; not an explosion. I am not an expert but an explosion doesn't sounds as distinct as the sounds I heard last night.

I live on Acacia and Waterfront and heard a distinct, clear and sharp "BAM BAM", just like PMT had stated. I know the sound of fireworks and the sound of gunshots. It didn't sound like fireworks to me. Unfortunately, we hear fireworks too often in our once quiet and sleepy "Village" of Corona del Mar.

Does anyone else find it interesting that the exact same thing, at almost the exact same time, happened two months ago, almost to the day and again was "unfounded" http://www.coronadelmartoday.com/28544/home/mystery-noise-prompts-calls-to-police/
