Mystery Smell Chemtrail Connection (News Video)

Local News Reports, “It Came From The Ocean” – Others Look To The Sky

Tuesday July 24, 2012 North San Diego - After a mostly clear, sunny day at the coast, aerosol spraying by three planes from around five to six o’clock seemed obvious to anyone looking up. About the same time, concerned citizens started calling officials and news outlets about a strong natural-gas like smell.

Around 5 o’clock

Lifeguards in Encinitas were first to report the strong, pungent odor at about 5 p.m. The odor was described as a gas-like smell rolling in off the ocean.

Soon after, 10News was flooded with calls. Residents from the coast all the way to Rancho Bernardo and 4S Ranch reported experiencing the smell. Some complained of headaches and outdoor activities were canceled.

Smells like…

“It smelled like gas from the stove, or propane,” said Lauren Humann, a Del Mar lifeguard who noticed the smell when she was paddling around on a longboard Tuesday afternoon. “It was not pleasant at all. It was almost toxic, it seemed like.”

Officials say several people called 911 reporting what they thought was a natural gas leak. A search conducted by the North County Fire Department turned up no gas leaks.

“It was a strong enough smell that five minutes later, I called 911,” Encinitas resident David Collins told News 8.

“It smelled like it was a gas leak,” added Maryanne Bache, who lives next door. “And if it wasn’t a gas leak, it smelled like propane.”

“Aerosol Compound” fell from sky and coated car windows.

At about 5:30 p.m., the woman parked at San Dieguito County Park and took a photo of what she believes is some kind of aerosol compound she says fell from the sky and coated her car windows.“I tried to wipe it and it was black and sticky and tried to put my window down and it smeared,” she said.

Facebook & Twitter

Tuesday afternoon a mystery odor rolled over Encinitas, which had a lot of locals scratching their heads—and plugging their noses.

Around 5 p.m. authorities began receiving reports of the smell, which was described as similar to natural gas. The odor reportedly moved south, to Solana Beach and Del Mar. By 6 p.m. reports of the smell were coming all over North County, according to the City of Encinitas Fire Department’s Facebook page.

Several Facebook users also reported smelling the strong, sulfuric smell throughout the county.

The source of the smell, which some said smelled like the sulfur scent added to natural gas, was unclear, but it led some to call the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, authorities said.

San Diego Gas & Electric Co. took to its Twitter account to say that its crews were working with authorities to investigate the cause. The utility reported that its crews “have surveyed the area and have not identified any gas leaks.”

Air-Quality Experts

The San Diego Air County Pollution Control District looked into it. Upon hearing reports of the funk, they sent an investigator, who couldn’t detect anything.

Rob Reider, spokesman for the district, said there were light winds, about 5 to 6 mph out of the northwest, at the time the smell was noticed, but that the agency can do little if they can’t find the odor.

Late Tuesday night, 10News received a statement from the City of Solana Beach that read, “Please do not be alarmed. The apparent smell of gas reported from Oceanside to La Jolla is not a leak of gas. The smell is caused by natural occurring condition from the ocean.”

The Air Pollution Control District says it will begin conducting tests Wednesday. It has special stations set up throughout the county which constantly gather air samples…

It Happened One Year Ago

The Encinitas Undercover blog offers more on the theory, explaining that the release of natural gas happens when there’s a thermal turnover of layers offshore—and it’s pretty common this time of year in the height of the summer. In fact, some locals may remember a very similar mystery odor that set in on Encinitas around this time last year.

Some callers have told News 8 the smell is similar to an incident in 2011. One resident in Encinitas described the odor as “sewer gas or a really strong gas of some sort.”

Officials say several people called 911 reporting what they thought was a natural gas leak. A search conducted by the North County Fire Department turned up no gas leaks.

A mystery odor reportedly floated over San Diego County in August of last year. It was also described as smelling like fuel, and was first detected in North County, including Del Mar. It was noticed in the afternoon and was eventually noted by people in University City, Scripps Ranch, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Hillcrest and downtown San Diego.

The source of that smell was never determined, Reider said.

Ocean Methane Leak Debunked by NBC7 San Diego

“We think it was a really surprising coincidence that we happened to find this methane seep at the same time,” said Benjamin Grupe, a UCSD graduate student who helped discover the seep. “But just because we discovered it doesn’t mean it hasn’t been there for hundreds if not thousands of years.”

Many associate methane with the gas-like odor they detected Tuesday. But the methane Grupe and his peers found earlier this month actually doesn’t have an odor at all.
