Loud, House-Shaking Booms – Even Horn/Trumpet Sounds – Persist in U. S. and Canada
Earthfiles ^ | 31JAN2014 | Linda Moulton Howe

January 31, 2014 Milton, Vermont and Calgary, Alberta, Canada - Three years ago in January 2011, I produced my first Earthfiles news reports about mysterious, unexplained booms occasionally being reported in various parts of North America. Then a year later on January 18-19, 2012 , in addition to persistent, mysterious booms came reports of mysterious horn or trumpet sounds. I did my first interviews with American earwitnesses of highly strange trumpet sounds in Gallatin, Tennessee. The first was a retired real estate agent northeast of Nashville, who described for me the eerie chorus of trumpets that suddenly filled the air around her at NOON time as she was packing her car for a trip.

Fifteen hours later and 240 miles southwest, a Memphis newspaper deliveryman on his early morning route also reported what he called a “chorus of trumpets” while he was delivering papers. See interviews: Updated February 23, 2012 Earthfiles.

Both of those earwitnesses independently picked out on YouTube videos, the same, strange sound that was closest to what each had heard. Their selection was the Kiev, Ukraine, eerie, horn or trumpet sounds videotaped on August 11, 2011, for nearly 12 minutes from a balcony in Kiev. See Websites below.

As a reminder, here is a brief excerpt from that Kiev video, followed by new December 2013 interviews about eerie horn/trumpet sounds in Milton, Vermont, and Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The trumpet and horn sounds seemed to disappear from reports in later 2012 through most of 2013. But that’s when so many loud and unexplained mysterious BOOMS were heard and reported to police, fire and Homeland Security around the United States and parts of Canada.

But in December 2013, I received more trumpet/horn reports from down-to-earth professional people in Milton, Vermont, and Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

At least 40 years ago in southern rural Texas there was an unbelievably loud boom which I thought was thunder until I looked at the cloudless blue sky

I haven't thought about it in years but that used to be one of the sounds of freedom...a sonic boom. Used to hear a lot of those when I was younger.

Yes, there have been quite a few recent reports of loud “booms” in the area generally around Paducah, KY. I’ve not been following this closely, and thought it was limited to the last 2-3 months. A little research, though, also shows it going back to Jan. 2013, in nearby S. Illinois, as far north as Mt. Vernon, IL. So, a significant area is involved, even though most (not all) the booms individually seem localized to less than county size areas.

An exception was a recent small earthquake in W. KY (Jan. 26), which I experienced / happened to be only a few miles from the epicenter. That one was interesting as I felt no perceptible shaking, but the audible rumble was quite noticeable and lasted I would guess at least 15 seconds. I would not call that a “boom”. Also, in small quakes I’ve experienced in the past, usually the shaking was more noticeable than the the rumble — granted, those were larger quakes with epicenters 20 or more miles away, so maybe that accounts for the difference?

Getting back to the other booms, though, it’d sure be nice to know the cause. In the W. KY / S. IL area, explanations such as frost quakes have been mostly ruled out, so the “mystery” seems to continue.

I’d say it has been occurring now and then for over a month.

It was late & I didn’t go to the sound links. Do they sound the same? (Well, not all of them, I know. Some sounds were mechanical-like; metal on metal) Something like the alp horns would probably travel a pretty long way.

What about the earth’s magnetic polarity switch? I would imagine that changes in magnetic forces could induce movements in the earth’s crust.
But, I’d rather believe that The Lord is coming soon. We sure do need him now in this new Dark Age.

Oops, sorry, strike that last sentence - old info - didn’t realize I’d left it at the bottom of the post!

I thought of “frost quakes” for the booms — where the ground freezes and thaws.

As for the horns, all I’ve got is this — we live about five miles from the nearest railroad track. When we have either very humid weather, or when it is “clear as a bell and cold as ****” we can hear train horns.

Wonder if it’s something intermittent and weather-related, like that.

YMMV.

Happens even when it isn’t cold. Go figure!

Noooooooooo. There seemed to be some indecision as to what the horns are CALLED, so I suggested that name. No, if it actually is a signal from the Lord, I’d vote for it being a shofar. Odd that He’d only notify the northeast, though. But there ARE a lot of commie libs around here. :o(

On my last cruise to Alaska, we passed slowly by the Mendelssohn (spelled wrong) glacier and was told that the Indians called the glacier white thunder. It was constantly booming as the ice cracks and then in a few minutes you looked up and down the length of the glacier and would find it calving. Usually you found it when it hit the water. Sometimes you would be lucky and see a large calving from the top to the bottom...been doing that booming for as long as the glacier was in existence. The glacier is 6 miles long, but the ship was placed so you could see the full 6 miles. Then it moved closer so as to turn around...It sounded exactly like booming thunder...

Early one misty autumn morning in NM, when I was doing the mountain man thing, I was sipping coffee and reading, and I felt a rumble under my feet, and then a terrific crash, like a car had hit a telephone pole...

Then nothing for a while.

Then it happened again. The rumble followed by the crash...

I went outside, and through the fog, I saw two of the ranch's bulls, pacing off to about 100 yards apart, and then run into each other, butting heads.

Those were big bulls. Even though I shared a pasture with them, I avoided them.

Nature makes some strange noises and sensations. And sometimes, you don't have a clue what they are, until you understand what is going on.

It's a wonderful world we live in.

I use to love it when a couple of my billy would face off in the pasture. They would back up from each other and then up on their hind legs and run towards the other and at the last minute heads go down and they crash skulls the heads go down to protect the front legs, cause if they don't they get a nasty break...only saw one break a leg and he went up behind another goat while I was in the barn and snapped the back leg.Thats the only sneak attack I ever saw... I made hubby neuter that sucker the same day. We usually neuter as kids, but this was a yearling that for some reason he didn't want to castrate. I put the broken leg goat in a small pen and hand fed him on his side for a couple of days, wrapped the leg and in less than a week he could get up. But stayed penned for a while, easier for him to eat without being pushed at graining time. A couple of bulls facing off would be something to see...:O)
