Update from Reader:
Apparently the bunker was the property of a private contractor (Explo Systems, INC) who controls a bunker facility within the camp property.
This would mark the second explosion within weeks to haunt the camp.
400 prisoners from Webster Parish jail were evacuated along with 600 students from two nearby schools.
However, this simply does not fully add up to other eyewitness reports.
Conflicting Reports
One woman reported debris hitting near a major interstate;

“I read the article on your site and wanted to email you to let you know that I live in Fort Worth and last night at approx 11:30 I was outside and saw what looked like a green meteor in the eastern sky coming downward in the distance. I only saw it for a few seconds before it was out of site. Green and no tail.”WEBSTER PARISH, LOUISIANA — A bunker at camp Minden has been identified as the official source of a large boom that shook the ground and shattered windows late last night.
“Reading about what happened in Webster Parish, Louisiana – I looked at the map and sure enough that area is straight east of here on I-20.”
“It had to be what is being reported. Not sure if this helps.”

And a woman reported hearing what sounded like debris hit a shop on Bellevue Road in the Dixie Inn area.Another eyewitness report by Laura Kester Moehring on the KTBS Facebook stated;
If it was a meteorite, that would fall to NASA and the Air Force to investigate. A spokeswoman for Barksdale Air Force Base public affairs said that the installation is investigating and that whatever the source, it didn’t originate at the base.
“Felt the boom at 11:30 but also were driving west on I20 in Shreveport at 10:30 when my husband and I both saw a greenish glow streaking rather low and shakily across the sky with sparks behind it. Angle was from the NW. Couldn’t estimate distance,”Others reported that the entire sky lit up orange with sparks.

On October 15th 2012 at 11:30pm CST, a large explosion rang out and many residents saw the sky light up. Webster Parish officials claim that an explosive ordinance bunker in Camp Minden had exploded but had done its job in containing the blast and focusing the energy upward to minimize damage.[5]AccuWeather.com ran an analysis from radar imagery and was able to come up with a 3D render of the object.
Some residents have taken this explanation and accepted it, while others have called this a ‘first contact’ event claiming that just before the explosion a large orange light was seen in the sky above.
The explosion sent a mystery object flying that was captured by radar in Shreveport. Speculation this morning focused on the possibilities of UFO’s and meteors before the confirmation of the bunker explosion was released.Read more at - http://theintelhub.com/2012/10/16/mystery-object-captured-on-radar-as-windows-shatter-and-a-massive-boom-ensues/
AccuWeather’s Jesse Ferrell pulled some 3D radar images from GRLevelX software this morning of the “mystery object.”
Above is a 3D image with the lower reflectivity colors transparent so you can see the most dense part of the object. Here’s the same with the 25dBZ reflectivity level outlined (meaning that the “hollow” part is >25dBZ):
Remember we’re using the software to “smooth” the data here. The actual data looks like this:
So you can see that, although we do have a few different horizontal layers we’re looking at (the 2-D shots here are at 1.5 degrees elevation, where the signal was the strongest), clearly the software is estimating a spherical object by rounding off the corners (and in 3D mode, the strongest return (yellow) is blended out completely).
