What is causing the mysterious 'booms' heard in 64 locations around the world this year?

Incidents of these mystery booms are becoming more frequent

Residents in Alabama were left baffled last week when a loud boom resounded across much of the state.

The boom, nicknamed 'Bama Boom', has left experts stumped, with suggested causes ranging from supersonic aircrafts to meteors exploding in the atmosphere.

This isn't the first time that the mysterious sound has been heard, and incidents are becoming more frequent according to some reports. 

This year alone, similar noises have been reported 64 times this year, in locations including Michigan, Lapland, St Ives, Swansea and Yorkshire.

...

The Birmingham National Weather Service tweeted: 'Loud boom heard: we do not see anything indicating large fire/smoke on radar or satellite; nothing on USGS indicating an earthquake.'

The service suggested that the sound was either caused by a sonic boom from aircraft, or a meteorite from the Leonid shower.

But Nasa has since cast doubt on these explanations. Speaking to ABC 3340, Bill Cooke, head of Nasa's Meteoroid Environment Office, said that the boom could have been caused by a supersonic aircraft, a ground explosion, or a bolide - a large meteor that explodes in the atmosphere unrelated to the Leonid shower.

While the noise was picked up by the US Geological Survey, data suggests that the boom wasn't the result of an earthquake.

I’ve heard those weird rumbling booms coming from a clear sky here in Maine on two different occasions, and other people I know heard them, too.

However, it was about three or four years ago, when other weird sounds were heard from the skies around the world, including in Hamburg, Kiev, Costa Rica, Australia, and many location throughout America.

A friend of mine put starting ether in a 1953 Plymouth. That car ran like a dragster until it ran out of gas. Then the engine fell apart.

And they say people have a hard time telling the difference between real and fake news... I think not.

They do testing of things at the Picatinny arsenal in Northern NJ. Years ago I worked there and they had proto-type EM rail guns that they tested (inside I think). If you are anywhere near that - you may be right!
