Hundreds report shaking and booms, North Carolina

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with these graphs...

Have they started the Hydraulic Fracking for natural gas in NC yet? I know it was up for debate the last couple of years but never heard if it was cleared to begin operations. Just a thought that came to mind when I read your post.

Also...obvious question...any major strip mines or stone quarries around?

The answers would be no to all of the questions

Whatever the source it rattled the helicorders from Charleston, SC to Kings Mt and Lake Jocassee in the foothills. I haven't check the 10 am time frame but around 12: 05-06 (17:05 UTC) and again at 12:16-17 (17:16 UTC) something sent them wonkers and also set my cat to yowling again. Wind speed in Kings Mt 4mph so it's not trees shaking the ground. Pure Carolina blue skies, so it's not storms.

Interesting. I'll check back in a couple of hrs and see if USGS has bothered to put anything up.

SC helicorders
another SC helicorder link
Va helicorders that also have SC locations

I found this comment by Pat Adams interesting....

Strange here on Caswell at the mouth of the Cape Fear. Huge loud jolt but no shaking. Felt as if it was right here. Very familiar with the Seneca gun theory but this felt entirely different than anything I have experienced in my 20 years here.

I hope this is not the case...

Just an example of a blast that was felt or at least reported over 170 miles away. Depending on the conditions it is very possible for a blast to be heard and felt at great distances. The way the OP describes it as having felt it then heard the boom even sounds like some type of blasting. There are many articles on this type of occurrence, and mostly in the east. I still wouldn't rule this option out.

Example

HAARP anyone?

This might be totally unrelated but take it for what it is.

I'm in Ottawa Canada and was on skype with friends playing video games and at around 6:45 pm last night something I could only qualify as a small earthquake. The door to my room was closed and it was shaking violently.

I checked to see if there was a snowplowing machine in the streets and there wasn't. And no earthquakes reported. Asked my friends on skype and none of them had felt anything, one of them is about 35 miles from where I am.

I highly doubt it's related but I`ll put it out there for the record.

i'm in SC , no booms but we do have a UFO sighting today apparently, made it to the radio so idk

Not only did I put this in the wrong category, I searched this out first and didn't see your thread until I ran a search in Google of all places. Now I see it. Sorry 'bout that.

So let me put my new thread here and ask the Mod to close mine (although I've been asking them to move it to the right category for 2 hours to no avail).


More 'booms' reported this morning (North Carolina)

No problem. This thread seems to have fallen off the radar, so no one is seeing it anyway. To me, it's an important topic, but evidently not many ATS'ers want to really discuss a real issue...

The Seneca Gun "booms" are common... But they are typically just heard/felt along the coast. Even at my house, 1 mile inland, I've never heard them. The booms are also usually just in one particular area. Today's events have reports coming in from the Outer Banks down to the NC/SC line...

This isn't the same thing.

Isn't Seneca Gun boom just a cutesy name for these unknown booms? Do they know the source of these Seneca Guns? I don't think so but let me do some research.

In my thread (that I asked to close) I mentioned that Hawaii just had a rash of mysterious booms following a swarm of earthquakes the other day. Although earthquakes aren't unusual over there, this particular swarm (that lasted all day) was. And apparently these booms were too.

Here's the thread on that, that didn't get much attention unfortunately.

There seem to be only a 10-degree difference between Ottawa and North Carolina's latitude.


The latitude of North Carolina is 35 36.3 N.
The latitude of Ottawa Ontario Canada 45°24'43.14"N


To a layman like me, it's very possible they're both sitting on the same fault line.

Who needs HAARP when we got aerosol spraying, fracking and CERN?
HAARP almost seems antiquated

That's it? You leave a cliff-hanger statement like that then ....split? I don't think that's allowed. I'll go check.

Nope. You have to elaborate a bit more. It's an unwritten rule known only to a few (but more encouraged to start a thread )


Sorry OP. At least I'm inadvertently bumping your thread!

LOL... bump away! This topic needs to be looked into by the great minds here on this board.

But what about the booms heard throughout Hawaii a couple of days ago? In this day and age, I just don't believe in coincidences anymore. I am a tainted soul!

I heard it all the way down in Central Florida, It sounded like one boom and then two louder ones right behind it. That's crazy that you felt it. I was in the house and heard it. I would think that it was a sonic boom or at least airborne because where I am at I would not think you could feel an earthquake like that.

I've spoken with many people along the Virginia and N Carolina coast and none have heard anything unussual, however, there is a large scale military exercise going on right now called Operation Bold Alligator.

Thousands of Marines stormed the beaches of Virginia and North Carolina last night in the largest amphibious training exercise for a decade.
Troops from the U.S., UK, Canada, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Australia took part in the massive military operation near Camp Lejeune, North Carolina and Virginia Beach.
