Mystery ‘explosions’ keep rocking Arkansas community. Where are they coming from?

The booms keep coming, heard and felt for miles around Blytheville, rattling windows and raising concerns, but nobody seems to know what’s causing them.

“The City of Blytheville and the Blytheville Police Department are aware of the recent bouts of ‘explosions,’” police said in a Facebook post. “We have received several calls about these occurrences, and find these events to be alarming and concerning.”

Residents of Blytheville, a town of more than 13,000 in the northeast corner of Arkansas, have some ideas of their own, maybe earthquakes, possibly undisclosed military activity, a potential Russian invasion, or “someone’s meth lab recipe went wrong,” comments read.

The apparent explosions are so powerful they’re shaking homes, including those in neighboring communities, people living in the area say.

“Glad someone (is) taking it seriously enough to let us know,” one person commented on the post.

Hey, at least the Georgia Guidestones are gone. Laz and I never did do that road trip to go look at them.

I’d expect only one boom would be sufficient to take care of that particular problem.

Probably so...

Gov Bill Clinton’s chief medical examiner could actually do an autopsy over the phone just by someone describing what they saw!

“The booms keep coming, heard and felt for miles around Blytheville, rattling windows and raising concerns, but nobody seems to know what’s causing them.”

“Police are asking that anyone with information about the cause of the explosions to contact the Mississippi County Sheriff’s Office at 870-658-2242.

Shouldn’t be too hard. By process of elimination, look for fresh holes in the ground. Might be Eaker AFB but they haven’t been operational totally (officially) since the mid 90’sclosing in 1992. But there were weapons stored there as it was a bomb wing. The aircraft stationed at Eaker AFB included the B-57 bomber, KC-97 refueler, B-52G bomber, KC-135A tanker, T-33 jet fighter, and the T-37 jet fighter. Eaker AFB was selected for closure by the Base Realignment and Closure Commission in 1991.

The primary reuse of the property after closure has been for development of the Arkansas Aeroplex industrial park and the Arkansas International Airport. While the airport is civilian controlled, the National Guard is using the facility as the site for training maneuvers and as a landing site to pick up and drop off deployed troops. Training maneuvers.

That’s not funny. A few years back my daughter went to a business conference in Arkansas. A few of the guys thought if would be funny to shoot at 80 lbs of tannerite strapped to a tree. Broke windows 4 miles away.

At 2330 two nights ago there was an explosion somewhere that shook the windows. Can’t feature what it was. It has happened before but not often. I expect it to be mentioned in the paper but it never is.

Rang church bells in Pennsylvania. Caused the Mississippi to flow north for a few hours. Cause explosive sand boils to shoot sand and earth into the air like artillery shell hits.

“...people disappearing, decapitated bodies ruled as having died from natural causes, drugs flooding the state in massive quantities, etc.”

Sounds like a book I read about Bill and Hillary’s activities while he was governor down there.

Put up a few drones with vid cameras at night, try to catch a flash. Catch a flash and the origin can be pin-pointed and visited. If multiple tries fail to catch a flash, the possible causes narrow.

Seems like the cops could get their hands on an urban gunshot locator system to get a fix on point of origin.
