We heard the noise that sounded like something big fell over upstairs.

I walked all around and looked outside in the general direction and saw nothing.

Rip Van Winkle encountered the ghosts of Henry Hudson's crew playing ninepins with heavy wooden balls, making the sounds we believe comes from "thunder."

I’ve started watching the Conjuring film series so I am not surprised someone hears thuds and other sounds above them.

BREAKING NEWS — MYSTERIOUS OBJECT STREAKS OVER COLUMBIA AND FORT JACKSON
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Residents across Columbia and near Fort Jackson reported hearing an unusually loud rumbling noise late Thursday afternoon , followed by sightings of a bright unidentified object moving rapidly across the night sky.
Witnesses described the sound as “shaking windows” and “like a jet flying low, but different.” Several people reported seeing flashes of blue and white light streaking overhead before disappearing toward the eastern horizon.
Military officials at Fort Jackson have not confirmed the source of the disturbance, though social media quickly exploded with speculation ranging from experimental aircraft to possible UFO activity.
“I’ve lived here 20 years and never heard anything like it,” said one northeast Columbia resident. “The whole house vibrated.”
Authorities have not issued any public safety concerns, but local residents remain curious — and slightly unsettled — about what may have passed over the Midlands Thursday afternoon.

No way he can build the required pressure. His “relief valve” is stuck WIDE open.
