![["The letter is a response to a citizen's concerns about the sonic boom study program in Oklahoma City. The Federal Aviation Agency denies claims of personal injuries and lack of public notification about the tests. They explain that the tests were extensively covered in the media and that the St. Louis tests did not result in public opposition. The agency states that the Oklahoma City tests will continue as planned and that they are working on finding solutions to reduce sonic boom effects. They assure the citizen that they will change methods if necessary."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_47_5_0000-Sonic%20Booms,%201964/thumbnails/CAC_CC_038_8_47_5_0028_thumbnail.jpg "Concerned Citizens Opposing Supersonic Tests in Oklahoma City")

![["Oklahoma City has become a testing ground for supersonic air transport, causing controversy among residents. Some claim property damage and health issues from the booms, while others believe it will bring prosperity. Experimental flights are creating noise and vibrations, with the Chamber of Commerce supporting the project. The Federal Aviation Authority is trying to address concerns and determine the maximum over-pressure people on the ground should be subjected to."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0000-Sonic%20Booms,%201964/thumbnails/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0012_thumbnail.jpg "The Supersonic Split: Oklahoma City's Booming Controversy")
![["A federal judge in Oklahoma City overruled a request to halt sonic boom tests, citing military objectives and the defense of the country as reasons to continue the tests. Opponents of the booms were unhappy with the ruling and were advised to appeal to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The judge acknowledged that the booms may have caused property damage, but stated that there was legal authority for the tests to continue."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0000-Sonic%20Booms,%201964/thumbnails/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0014_thumbnail.jpg "Federal Judge Upholds Military Sonic Boom Tests in Oklahoma City")

![["The article discusses the results of sonic boom testing in Oklahoma City, which are linked to future air transport. The intensity of the boom varies with factors such as height, speed, and distance of the aircraft, as well as atmospheric conditions. The tests involve controlled booms to simulate the sound of future supersonic transports, with the goal of ensuring that the booms do not exceed 2 lbs. of pressure. The article also addresses the impact of the booms on residents, potential damage to structures, and public acceptance of supersonic transport operations. The city was chosen for the experiment due to its air-minded attitude and support from local organizations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0000-Sonic%20Booms,%201964/thumbnails/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0016_thumbnail.jpg "Sonic Boom Test Results: Implications for Future Air Transports")

![["A 6-month-old baby narrowly escaped harm when the ceiling of his home in Oklahoma City Limes fell in, possibly due to sonic booms. The parents blame the incident on the booms and had previously reported ceiling cracks to FAA inspectors. The damage was minimal, with only a broken wall plaque and damaged furniture. Firefighters responded to smoking insulation in the floor furnace, but no fire occurred. The neighbors helped clean up the debris and insulation from the fallen ceiling. Mrs. Thomas believes the sonic boom caused the ceiling to collapse, as it fell from the same spot that had cracked earlier."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0000-Sonic%20Booms,%201964/thumbnails/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0024_thumbnail.jpg "Sonic Boom Causes Ceiling to Fall in Oklahoma City Home")
