Federal Judge Upholds Military Sonic Boom Tests in Oklahoma City, 1964-01-01 - 1964-12-31
Scope and Contents
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.
