December 4th, 2012 - Mysterious Loud Noise Baffles Residents and Police in Alabama.
At approximately midnight around Gentilly Mobile Home Park, a mysterious
loud bang was heard. Phone calls to The Plainsman office suggested
that the bang was heard over a far larger radius than Gentilly Park.
Residents around the area do not seem to believe the sound was a gunshot
or fireworks, as the sound was described as far too loud. Capt. Tom
Stofer of the Auburn Police Department said the department received a
call about the noise, but after sending officers out to the area could
not find a source or evidence of damage. "We were really never able to
indicate where the sound came from," Stofer said. "As far as we know,
nothing was reported afterward as being damaged." Stofer could not
offer any possibilities of what caused the sound. "The source of the
noise or sound is really unknown at this time," Stofer said. Read more:

December 4th, 2012 - "Loudest Thunder In The World" Explosion Heard In Rhode Island.
While authorities still do not know the source, residents are sticking
to their story saying they heard a large explosion coming from
Narragansett Bay Monday night. Reports of the phantom boom kept crews
busy in both Barrington and Warwick after residents reported hearing the
strange disruption around 11:30 p.m. “I was downstairs in my basement,
I have small windows, and I was able to see a flash of light and it was
basically the biggest explosion I’ve ever heard in my whole life,” said
Mark Etheridge, an eyewitness who lives near Narragansett Bay in
Barrington. "It shook the windows and made my neighbors alert too. The
only way to describe it was like a single loud 'boom' noise that sounded
somewhat like an explosion," said an Eyewitness News viewer via
ReportIt. "I thought it was the loudest thunder in the world..we all
were jousted but the humm. was scary," wrote Patti Cicerone on
WPRI.com's Facebook page. Several local police and fire departments
investigated, even sending boats out on to the bay. But, nothing was
ever found. “I’ve heard a transformer blow, but this thing was ten
times that. My whole house shook,” added Etheridge. "I thought 'oh my
God, it must have been a gas explosion, and somebody's house blew up,"
said Mary McKenna. "That's what it sounded like." According to
investigators, the source of the noise remains a mystery. -

December 4th, 2012 - "Frightening" Loud Booms Across Altadena, California.
Was your Tuesday night disturbed by the sounds of loud booms? It was for
one Altadena resident, who told Patch via email that she heard these
mystery sounds all night:
I live in NW Altadena near Lincoln & Loma Alta Dr & on last
evening, Tuesday - Dec 4, 2012, I kept hearing 'loud boom' sounds every
10-15 minutes. These sounds continued all night - very frightening - I
called the Sheriff's Dept to report it - I never found out what this
noise was. Did anyone else hear this and do you know what it was? I know
that street lights are being put up on the corner of Altadena Dr &
Lincoln.
The watch commander for the Altadena Sheriff’s Station told Patch
Wednesday that nothing else was reported about any loud “boom” sounds
and there was no explanation for them.The most notable thing that
happened Tuesday night, according to the watch commander’s report of the
Altadena crime log, was a call to report a beauty salon fire in town
but when fire officials showed up there was no fire to be seen. -

December 5, 2012 - Mysterious Booms Rock Verde Valley, Arizona
Jean Swesey was doing homework with her son in Cottonwood when it
happened. "It was a whole series of booms," Swesey said. "Up to six or
seven. It was fast, it went loud. We were quiet and then my daughter
down the hall screams really loud, ‘Did you hear that?' I sat there for a
second and I heard another set." Swesey wasn't alone. Residents in
communities in and around Verde Valley and as far as Flagstaff called
911 or their police and fire departments to report the strange booming
sounds. "It sounded like thunder, but underground," Swesey said. "Like
muffled thunder. And all the dogs in the neighborhood, all of them that
were outside all started barking at once." CBS 5 News first received
reports of the explosion-like noises shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday and
began checking with law enforcement and government sources. The U.S.
Geological Survey reports no significant earthquake activity in Arizona
that could have created the booms. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office
had deputies in the area who either heard it or tried to respond to
resident calls. They found nothing. The Sedona Fire District dispatched
a crew to check a report of a strange odor, but that was unfounded and
may not be related to the sounds. The Camp Verde Marshal also received a
number of phone calls about the booms. Officers found no evidence of
any explosions. But the Verde Valley contains large expanses of
uninhabited land. "Maybe when the light comes back they'll find
something," said Gary Johnson of Sedona Fire. Swesey sure hopes so. "It
was just, ‘boom-boom-boom-boom-boom all over the Verde Valley." Did
you hear it? Tell CBS 5 News where you are and what it sounded like. -

December 5, 2012 - Several Loud Booms Reported in Columbia County, Georgia.
Columbia County EMA director Pam Tucker tells WJBF News Channel 6, that
quarry blasting and earthquakes have been ruled out as causes of loud
booms and rumblings in Columbia County. Tucker tells us no blasting or
quakes were going on at the times the booms and rumblings were
reported. A seismologist Tucker talked to checked all of his equipment
and said that he sees no indication of earthquakes around any of the
times he was provided. However, the seismologist said that the report
about the lifted driveway and cracks in road/sidewalk sounded most
intriguing – but he just doesn't see anything Wednesday night around
9:00 p.m., which was the time reported for that event. Tucker says she
has been notified blasting is planned for the following: • Precision
Blasting conducted a blast in Indian Springs Subdivision around noon
Thursday. • Aggregates Quarry on Columbia Road is going to blast at 3:00
p.m. Thursday. • Blair Construction will conduct a blast in Stratford
Subdivision (behind the last house in the cul-de-sac on Aylesbury)
Friday afternoon. One citizen reports that fighters have been running
aerial combat drills...which could account for some of these reports. -
