Freaky! Quite a hellish sound that, like lots of kids screaming...yikes!
Still interested in this stuff. People have certainly been more attentive to it this year, but we can't deny it is something that's been happening for
years on end. I think previously people have been more interested in catching videos of lights in the sky - but this year the "noise" stuff has really
sparked the imagination so people are considering getting evidence of this for once rather than UFOs.
What I think is important is for people to work out or at least give with their explanation a list of any known industries in the area. I live in a
small town, very quiet at night, but up until the early millenium we still had a huge, 24 hour malt works (below is a pic of it getting destroyed).
Despite it being generally quiet, there was a constant hum from it and the occasional metallic clang - although yes, the clangs and bangs were mostly
through the day. But I think in some cases we may be missing vital variables if people just put "strange noise" but fail to list anything in their
local area that may be causing it, even if it's just a guess.
Furthermore on a cold night you have to remember sounds travel a long way. We have a railway line about 3 miles away, most nights you can't hear it,
but on a really cold night, even from far away you'll hear a freight train rumble down the tracks. There are also works on the line, which usually
happen at night, and they've been known to make some noise. Earlier this year our town had a new dock thing put in on the river, and the sound of them
banging in the metal poles and using the metal grinders was immense.
I'm not saying there are logical explanations behind everyone's sounds - I'm just saying I think we should scrutinize the local areas of these events
a bit more and not just take them on face value.
That said, the only pattern I've found to the booming and grinding sounds (but not the jet like noises) is that they occur on the very edge of the
auroral oval. 80% of cases happen right on the edge of it. I'm having a hard time finding it co-incidence, because every time a new report comes in
the first thing I check now is where these locations are in relation to the AO - and more times than not, they're sitting right there on the edge. But
I can't prove it's related - and Wiki will tell you apparently the auroura don't make sound. However - in their favour, the noises near the edge of
the AO
seems more proveable than these sounds being pre-cursors to earthquakes. But that's only through my own investigation. I suggest you do
your own
So, I guess I'll just go with Govt. conspiracy to sink America and various other parts of the world
