Well, the booms are just booms. Some kind of atmospheric of meteorological phenomena.

The “trumpets” (if any are not overt hoaxes) most likely come from a variety of causes, such as construction equipment, vuvuzelas, and even something as mundane as traffic noise.

I suspect that Sodium Vapor street lamp in the backround.
Might have a vacuum leak when it purges every evening.

Just a thought...maybe it was an harmonic resonance of natural gas through a metal pipe. And the air pressure inside the pipe has to be at a certain frequency of high usage pressure during the winter to cause the sound waves to occur. Or there may be an obstruction inside the pipe (like a clairinet or Obo reid that is causing an audible frequency to happen. I played trumpet in the band. Just a theory.

I agree, that was the first thing I thought. We have one close by and it makes some strange noises at times.

In my nutty opinion the noises come from underground where the government is digging tunnels to escape some future event. The booms are blasting and the “war of the worlds” sounds are huge digging machines.

Also one member of the group “turned back.” To me he is a prime suspect. Some of the bodies were mutilated. One had his eyes gouged out.

The Soviet patrol that passed by had absolutely nothing to do with any of this ...

Apparently, it only happens at night. So I’d say squatch too. Never believed in them until I moved to southern WA. When I lived there, on a forested ridge overlooking the Columbia River gorge I was probably awoken a half-dozen times over 2 years by their night time shrieking and live stock attacks.

I was a counselor at a day camp. A girl fell asleep on the ground and woke up with a Japanese beetle in her ear. She was wild.

I can't even imagine. She was taken to the hospital and they flushed out the beetle with some kind of oil.

Er, I didn’t say it was the truth. I said that this was what happened in the USSR. Since you weren’t three in 1958, I seriously doubt you know the “truth.”

I had a moth get in my ear once sounded like a chainsaw when it beat it’s wings. Tried drowning it and gassing it with a lighter. Finally went to the emergency room. Very unpleasant experience.

“If I told you all what I think the noises are you would label me a kook.”

Give it a shot. I won’t label you as a kook. I have no idea what the booms are, but that other sound that sounds kind of like a trumpet/horn sounds a lot like rail noise. I swear I hear that almost everyday for the last 7 years since (in two different locations) I’ve lived near train rails.

I was not too far away ... No claiming to know the ‘truth,’ just the BS whan I smell it.

Need ground penetrating radar to see if there is a tunnel/dungeon near the road. But it appears to be a sound made by rocks under pressure scraping against each other. Around E.TN sinholes this phenomenon occurs, where portions of limestone are ‘settling’ past fixed slabs of stone.

Not cat? Lions can make some horrific sounding noises.

I won’t completely rule out sasquatch, there are some compelling eye witness accounts out there, but I figured we’d see more evidence by now.
