Perhaps the similarity in the sounds (Mr. Waterphone vs. the actual phenomenon, which is actually happening) are indicative of some sort of physical similarity between the two causes. Imagine if you will long columns of one type of possibly-metallic rock, miles long, embedded deep in a subduction zone, and moving plates grinding across them like a bow, making them vibrate exactly like a waterphone. Perhaps whatever is really going on is just like the waterphone, but a million times larger and louder and more eerie. (Ever heard of "As above, so below"?) How about it, debunkers? Does an explanation that grounded in science and totally lacking any supernatural or human-caused elements appeal to you more? Did I just do away with the necessity to "take it on faith?" Did I provoke thought?
Of course... that begs the question: what tectonic plate movements could be responsible for it somewhere like the American East Coast, where there are supposedly no fault lines? Or are there...

I can't wait for my roommate to get up. He was convinced about the sounds. I'll play this without letting him see the vid.
Hoax revealed. Great job man.

Its very similar, but I dont completely buy it.... one thing I am missing is the sheer volume of the sounds in the youtube vids.... unless it was one massive "waterphone" offcourse

Since there hasn't been much about the sky sounds on ATS lately, I did a Google news search to see if there were any new reports in the semi-MSM. I found the following article and video.
Apparently, there's an obsure instrument called a "waterphone." It is the EXACT same sound as the Kiev video. Not just "similar" or "sort of" or "kind of" - it's the exact same scary as # sound. Leaves me wondering who the F would choose to play that instrument!
www.examiner.com...
On January 22, 2012, a man from New Decade Production broke the news that the strange UFO sounds being reported from around the world were low tones being played on an obscure musical instrument called a waterphone. This man proved his theory by producing a video of himself recreating the strange sounds using the instrument.
I came across another article that a religious group may be behind this to pump up their following for the "coming apocolypse."
www.ufodigest.com...
In each instance of my investigation into the sounds, the name Paul Begley seemed to keep coming up. This man is Pastor at Community Gospel Baptist Church in Knox, Indiana. Paul Begley has built an enormous presence on the internet, preaching "End of Days" Gospel Revelations, and trying to tie both natural and human world events into evidence of a coming Apocalypse. He also mentions UFOs, extraterrestrials and related content in his internet sermons. The strange sounds are a major topic of his rhetoric for end of days preaching, and come as too great of a tool to legitimize his prophecy. Thus, the chances that he and other members of his religious organization are deliberately releasing videos of this sound are too great to ignore.
His birthplace is hard to locate but I located it to be Kyev, Ukraine. This is most interesting, since the very first video containing the sounds supposedly came from Kiev, Ukraine.
Thoughts, ASTers? A lot of folks still seem to be rejecting these ideas since they've heard sounds in person.
ADDED INFO:
I completely agree that it's not a total dismissal of the sounds, as many ATS members have heard them with their own ears. Just a theory. Maybe a vain attempt to make myself feel better because this new "sound phenomenon" scares the # out of me. I have yet to hear these sounds with my own ears, but the day I do I the day I start digging a bunker under the basement. Lol.
Furthermore, the "waterphone theory" does not dismiss the different kinds of sounds being heard - only sounds similar to those in the Kiev and Conklin videos. People have reported rumblings and "jet in place" sounds. Again, this doesn't debunk those. Just a theory for the scariest of sounds - the mechanical War of The Worlds sounds.
The "waterphone theory" does not address to volume of the sounds that folks have heard in person. It does address the fact that if some of the videos are being hoaxed, an instrument such as this one may be being played in the background. It has been brought up time and time again on ATS that some of these videos are hoaxed by dubbing the Kiev sound into new videos, hence the same birds and background noise. The "waterphone theory" simply implies that maybe the first Kiev video was made with a waterphone and then copied and dubbed to new videos. I'm not saying everybody and their brother are running around with waterphones these days. However, the instrument really isn't that rare. They're used on almost any movie set and you can probabky buy one on Ebay for $20.

Ah great so the weird sounds that seem to come from the skies lately in my village are a marketing stunt?
You have a e-mail so I can ask them to stop? It is getting very irritating, broke to coffee mugs last weekend because of their "marketing stunt".

Nearly every thread about the sounds is polluted with debunker shouting bull #, yet when someone posts a video with a debunking theory everyone flips out in defense of the sounds. ??? Wtf?

Second post.
The Calgary, AB video, Pas, Manitoba, North Bay, ON (my hometown) and many, many others are fakes. They admit to it on the comments of their own
I would argue that all the videos from Canada are hoaxes. If anyone on these forums *is* hearing a similar noise, I don't think it is related. They need solid, 360 moving evidence before I truly believe it's the same sound.
