Did anyone else hear that?

Just ignore the stupid comments some people leave on here just coz they're stupidly bored. Anyone who didn't hear it, won't understand the nose that was heard around Manchester.

Well if a plane hadn't just flown over then I'm stumped

The only thing I would add is that after 47 years of living under a flight path, you "don't hear" the planes at all really, but I've heard a similar sound to what your describing even though I didn't "consciously" hear the plane that preceded it...........does that make sense?

Interesting story non the less.............I;ll keep one ear to the window tonight!

My second guess is...(drum roll)... A distant helicopter, sometimes they sound like they are shooting a chain gun. Only slightly but it is very definite 'pop pop pop pop pop....pop pop pop pop'.

What do you think?

I am amazed of you people. If a person that just registered and made the same type of thread. You would have laughed it off and didn't believe him. And yet when a longtime person who posts on ATS makes a thread with no evidence people believe him? wow....

Maybe you live near one of the gates that are supposed to open up soon mentioned here on
ATS? They sound could be bleeding through the gate. There is another thread about a warning
to stay away from these gates when they open. I'll keep looking. In the mean time, here is this
thread considering the Sun's current activity.

Why shouldn't he be believed?........at least one other poster heard something similar, and I myself have heard something very similar.......sometimes it's not possible to have evidence for something that is seen or heard........why should that be a problem with posting an account of it??


Just to add the OP has only been here around 4 weeks................hardly a long time poster!.........do a bit of research next time buddy!

One thought that does come to mind. we tend to think of Britain as Geologically almost dead. That is we don't really much happening in terms of quakes etc etc. It could have been some sort of underground slippage associated with long disused and to the public at large, forgotten industrial workings. Old mine workings, long since filled in and built on might well explain your sounds. Something like a long forgotten working where there has been a shift, maybe hundreds of feet down. It could have been the sound of some sort of rock slip into a huge buried lake. It might well have found an exit through a reservoir floor or some pool in the area.

It might be worth having a check as to just what your house and the surrounding area is built on in terms of Industrial Archeology That might well give you a clue as to what the noise was. I know in my own City, Coventry, there are umpteen housing estates built slap bang over old coal mine workings and shafts.

Strangely enough, about this time a year ago I mistook the Space Station for an unknown object . Thing was, the sighting was accompanied by this very strange noise that lasted about a minute. In my case it was a low *whump whump* somewhat akin to the effect of slowing helicopter blades right down. I realised that it was the Space Station when i found out the satellite tracking site i use had, for some reason, decided to drop the ISS passages from its' log. However, the noise, I have yet to discover the source of.

Hmmm, well on the boring side, could it have been a neighbor turning up his television during a combat scene in a movie?

On the less boring side... could you describe it as "God unzipping the sky"?

This is the most famous description of the sound of the alleged "Aurora" X-plane.

The Aurora is said to use "Hypersonic Scramjets" Which we do, in fact, know to exist. It is said that these scramjets (which use the forced air induction intake to feed air to the combustion chamber) make a rapid pulsing sound as they must stop to inhale and then reignite to thrust (much like the cylinders in your cars engine). this happens extremely quickly of course. Each pulse creates a low pressure vacuum within the chamber which sucks the air in (and helps to compress it) to refill the chamber, apparently this helps to overcome both the thinner air at great altitudes and the aerodynamic forces that push the air away from the craft and starve traditional scramjets. This also allows the Hypersonic Scramjet to have few moving parts.

This is the famous "Unzipping the Sky" sound.

...It couldn't be someone's tv or game console (as previously wondered on this thread) because I live a bit far from where the Poster lives and I heard the same sound at the same time.

No, you really need to think a bit more before you insult someone you don't know, because people don't appreciate it, and I won't apologise, cause quite frankly you earned it.

I have, in the past, heard something similar.

It was a weird rumbling, explosion sound which was right on the edge of my hearing (as in, when I tried to listen to it, it was uncomfortable and didn't really get me any further forward)

My mam seemed to think it was next door playing music, but I disagree, having heard no tune or music as such, just a rumbling.

I actually went outside to make sure nothing was on fire/had blown up.

I have no idea what that was, but it was when Eragon was on so like, I think thats either last Monday or the Monday before. Needless to say the noise was more interesting than the film...

Oh, and I live in Newcastle.

It's probably also because OP can actually articulate his point, and provide details, unlike the inane, unintelligible, rambling drivel that these "new members" pass off as intelligent discussion.

Interesting times we live in, for sure.

This morning I was driving up to the supermarket, and went past an odd structure that wasn't there two or three weeks ago - it looks like a lamp post at ground level, but if you look up, it widens into an inverted cone, becoming a wider cylinder for the final tenth of its height. The top is flat, and the whole thing is circular in cross section. I noticed a load of these things springing up all over the country recently - in Leicester there's about ten of them, quite close together, along a western section of the ring road.

I found their appearance odd enough, but then after last night's 'noise' I was more intrigued than I would have been otherwise to see a guy in a Hi-Vis vest standing taking multiple photographs of the thing. He looked as though he was part of a roadworking crew from further down the road, but they seemed to be working on a gas line so I have no idea why he was taking photos of this odd structure.

I heard theories about the use of such towers as a means of enhancing some sort of signal, possibly relating to Blue-Beam type stuff, but I haven't researched it enough yet so can't comment further.

It's half a mile from my house, and directionally it's about right for the origin of the sound I heard. Next to it is a modern block of flats which seems remarkably unoccupied despite being up for many years. Another block, situated further back on the same plot, is well-occupied and you see people coming and going all the time; not so with the first block (nearest to the tower). To one side is the weirdly unused flats, to another a busy main road, which people tend to drive quickly on (not pausing to look up) to another is a barely used railway line (freight trains only), and across the main road is wasteland/ greenbelt land - beyond the railway line is the back of the supermarket, so it's quite isolated from attention generally.

I'll upload a photo later and will have a search for a conventional explanation.

The first thing that springs to mind is underground testing of some sort, hence the muffled sound. Any bases in your area? Could you pin-point the direction the sound came from?

reply to post by inivux


A quick 'thank-you' from me for that one. I admit that this sort of experience cannot be 'evidenced', except by corroborations (of which we have at least one already), hence it's been moved to the gray area.

I do try hard to express my experiences in a way that people can understand and relate to - and I'm pretty certain I don't read like a high, drunk, paranoid wreck - but some people don't like to think outside the box I guess...

The answer is yes, there's a network of underground tunnels, shelters, warehouse-type spaces and whatnot nearby. The area (Stockport) is quite proud of this feature of its heritage, boasting one of the foremost underground air raid shelter networks in the UK. I believe there's another one quite similar down in South Wales, which the government were to have been relocated to in the event of nuclear attack during the Cold War - can't remember its name off the top of my head.

Curiously, across the channel from South Wales is Bristol - another poster from that region said he heard something similar in that area, at the same time as I did up here in Stockport. Perhaps the underground networks have been expanded upon, and there is some sort of testing going on. My above post details how someone in officialdom seems to be taking an interest in the strange towers that have been cropping up all over the country, the morning after the 'noise' was heard.

Once again, my intrigue-o-meter is spiking erratically...

reply to post by Wide-Eyes


We get the choppers going over quite often (searching for criminal scallywags), as we have a disused building nearby that they like to hide in if they're on the run from the police. Therefore, I'd have to say no to that one, as we're too familiar with the noise of them circling round of an evening... Kudos for the attempt!

It's because the trolls seem to come on and shout things out straight away with no real grammar, and no real evidence. And a lot of new members seem to do the same as the classic trolls.

Fair enough, it might not be right but I'm definitely more inclined to believe a member such as the OP who has been on the forum a lot longer, than I am for a new member, especially if said newbie has signed up in silly season.

To be honest, you can usually spot the trolls from the genuine new members straight off, and you do have a point. But I doubt the OP is making this up. That's just my opinion.

Sorry for derailing the thread a bit, I just thought I'd stick up for you a bit there.

And in reply to the OP's reply to me... That does seem canny weird. I'll keep a lookout, see if I can find anything similar! I mean, yeah, it might have a reasonable explanation, but I've never seen anything like that before. So it is a coincidence. And we are living in interesting times, yeah.

Much appreciated, thanks.

It's always nice to be believed when you know you are just trying to explain something that you genuinely experienced.

The most conventional explanations for the 'noise' (wish there was a more evocative way to describe it) don't hold water given my experience of noises generated by such causative factors (helicopters, passing planes, fireworks, video games), so at the moment, I'm swinging towards fringe explanations...

The weird towers interest me, as does the possible connection with underground bases.

Please keep the ideas and suggestions coming, unless you feel it's been exhausted already!
