LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Mysterious maneuvers over the Pacific are forcing a change in Los Angeles International Airport landings late at night, meaning noise for thousands of people in the flight path.

Instead of landing from the east over Inglewood, planes begin flying from the west and over the ocean to keep noise levels down, but due to secret military operations, the airspace over the Pacific is closed to incoming flights for the next week.

"We clearly understand that neighbors and communities east of the airport will experience noise and we apologize for that," said Nancy Castles, LAX public relations director.

The military is not saying what exactly is causing the change, and LAX claims it's also in the dark. Castles said all they know is planes can't be flying at low altitudes to our west.

Six years ago, ABC7 cameras captured a military operation in downtown LA. Helicopters were seen swooping between high-rises, close enough that residents were able to see armed soldiers in camouflage outside their window.

Authorities claimed it was part of a training exercise designed to ensure the military's ability to operate in urban environments and to prepare forces for upcoming overseas deployment.

What's going on this week is a mystery.

"And plus if it's a military thing it's a good thing, that means they're making it safer for us so I wouldn't let it bother me," said Steve Devosion of Inglewood. "I'd be more interested in them not doing something about what's going on than them doing something about what's going on."

Possibly. It's a confirmed rocket/missile test.

Witnesses from Southern California to the San Francisco Bay Area on Saturday evening said they saw an unexplained moving light in the night sky that was reportedly an unarmed missile test-fired by the U.S. Navy.

This is nothing new. The Navy has been doing these tests for decades Since the early early 1960's. Usually at the missile range east of Florida. I'm guessing this is where the west coast boats do theirs.

It is called an OT/FOT. ( Operational Test or Follow On Operational Test ) For the FBM Weapons System. I have participated in many of these.

Me think they finally found more ZPMs and sent Atlantis back to Pegasus. But they question is why did they move it from SFO to LAX?

FTFY, lol
 
LOL at the videos...

If anything really serious ever happened on this planet, the general masses would just keel over dead.

I'm guessing that the "light release" is going to relate to changing propellant and/or changing atmospheric conditions as it climbs.

Then again maybe it was aliens, or the hand of god.

Why laugh? It's a really cool video. Yes, it's explainable, but it's neat. No one is saying this is aliens or something like that. It's clearly a gov't test, that's why they cleared the skies, and confirmed it's a test.

I just found the people's reactions and explanations funny.

I would be going "WTF" too if I didn't know about it in advance of course. But I wouldn't think it was actually a UFO "releasing light" and silly stuff like that.

The youtube comments make me weep for the future...
