  1. Well, I heard the “construction/metal” sound in Brazil last may and thought it weird but gave no more thought about it. Now I learned of your site and was surprised to hear it again on all this videos. Really weird.

    About loud booms, there was also one in Taubate, a city in Brazil, recently. No one nows it’s origin also, but many were freightned. Here’s a video by a local network about it. It is in portugese, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJiZcBx2PzQ&feature=related

    Best,

  2. Hello, i don’t speak english well, but i translated with help of google, the brazilian video. It’s more or less like this:

    “Reporter – 1: Many residents of Taubate took a scare today, Marcelo, tells this story for us.

    Reporter – 2: Unfortunately, I do not have the answer that everyone in town wants to know. What there are many reports of many people that this morning there was a loud bang in the city, there are reports of people saying that doors and windows shook, the subject took to the streets, also won the internet, only in our electronic portal, more than 150 Internet users have left comments of how this happened. But after all, there were no reports of occurrences in civil defense or fire stations. Our team took to the streets to hear these amazing stories.

    people talking:

    “A loud noise woke up in time”
    “Noises this usually happens with accidents on the road, but this time we do not know what was really a frightening noise”
    “Loud noise shook the windows and so far nobody knows what is”

    Reporter 2: The bad news is that nobody knows what that noise is, the good news is that no one was injured.

    [Ask the coordinator of civil defense]

    We are also surprised, we also heard the noise but there were no occurrences, we are on duty, also heard the noise but do not know the source. People can be assured, everything is normal.

    Reporter 2: It is curious, but all is well.”

  3. The brazilian guy said that in Taubate theres a lot of people who heard something weird, an explosive sound, and no one knows what it is, they are saying that windows were shaking or vibrating, but NO ONE called police or fire department in that day

  4. Hi,

    The essence of the brazilian video says:
    1- many people woke-up with a huge noise, which even shake some doors and windows;
    2- there were more than 140 testimonials on the journal website, reaffirming what happened;
    3- it was compared with a truck tire blowing up, continuously, but much more louder;
    4- none of governmental organs (police, fire department) was called or notified, so this video is the only ‘official’ proof of it;

    It appears that it didn’t occurred again, but people were afraid, mostly because the origin is unknown.

    Taubaté is a city near to São Paulo, with high traffic of cars and trucks, army bases, etc., so people are used with loud noises.

    Hope it helped.

  5. I’m with the engineer on this one. We are right now in the period of time approaching solar max and paranormal reports are jumping off the charts everywhere. In a series of articles (the XYZ Files) over at The Paranomalist blog I’ve been exploring this solar cycle in relation to UFO reports, skyquakes, etc. and I think we can learn a whole lot about the vexing things by taking that approach. I believe that most LITS and saucer-type UFOs are a natural phenomenon produced by geological and atmospheric mechanisms, and probably by a combination of both. The Dyfed region in Wales is so active right now that people are studying it again.

  6. Well from my experience till now Frater, most if not all “paranormal” and “ufo” reports have a very nice and 100% scientific explanation. Maybe not by the so called “consensus” science but by other approaches such as the Electric Universe/Plasma Cosmology theories.

    I personaly had problems with most explanations (scientific or not) and unanswered questions on many areas related to physics, astrophysics, geology, history/mythology and the so called “paranormal” stuff. That was till about 10 years ago that accidentaly found Plasma Cosmology and the Electric Universe and all fall into place.

    I don’t want to sound like a troll that moves around in forums and promotes things and ideas but anyone of you that is a sceptic and doesn’t feel comfortable with current explanations of things, maybe should check Electric Universe theories. They definetly worth the time and effort along with several other electricity oriented theories. And all recent observations seem to prove them 100% right as far as i can tell (ok, i’m following them for quite some time, I’m also an Electrical Engineer, so my opinion is biased on the subject)

    Starting from that electric approach i see many other things completing the picture such as the electric nature of earthquakes and related pre-quake phenomena (such as sounds, animal behanious and earthquake lights) that still puzles scientists.

    Till now everyone believed that Earhquake are due to crust movements but recent research revealed that there is a connection between Earthquakes and Ion/Electron flux in the Ionoshpere. And they even predict all large earthquakes by monitoring this electric activity.

    Here’s the paper: http://www.mendeley.com/research/radiation-belt-electron-precipitation-upper-ionosphere-middle-latitudes-before-strong-earthquakes/

    And other related papers: http://smsc.cnes.fr/DEMETER/A_publications.htm

    The result of these observations is that few weeks before a large quake there is an increased electron flux from the Ionoshpere to the quake epicenter that starts reducing few days before the quake and stops 1-2 hour before the event. The same way a capacitor charges and when full stops.

    The quake event seems to be analogous to a dielectric brakedown of a capacitor and could also be described as an underground lightning.

    Similarly electric forces drive the weather most of the times and there is quite a lot of research on that area too.

      Ah! a new vector for research! I was dimly aware of this stuff but didn’t know the right term for it. Thank you!

      I was put in that state by Albert Budden’s 2 books. (read them, by chance?) They gave me a new set of filters with which to view these Damned Things. I’ve always been a fan of the notion of a living and aware cosmos, one that perhaps brought about the observable universe, rather than a dead universe that somehow evolves to the point where it brings about consciousness. It’s really just the matter of choosing a different set of axioms from which to start.

      I don’t mind it a bit! And I AM trolling, after a fashion, not to promote ideas (or even my column) but trolling in the sense of fishing for someone with the right background with which I can have a productive discussion on exactly this subject. Could that be you, I hope? I’m in the process of putting together a book for one of John Keel’s old publishers, tentatively titled The Wind from the Sun by which I hope to help pry paranormal studies away from the lowest common denominator entertainment sector and push it a little closer to scientific rigor again.

      >Starting from that electric approach i see many other things completing the picture such as the electric nature of earthquakes and related pre-quake phenomena (such as sounds, animal behanious and earthquake lights) that still puzles scientists.

      Now I’m starting to get excited again . . .

      >Till now everyone believed that Earhquake are due to crust movements but recent research revealed that there is a connection between Earthquakes and Ion/Electron flux in the Ionoshpere. And they even predict all large earthquakes by monitoring this electric activity.

      THAT is fascinating! This reminds me a bit of an amateur Japanese scientist who felt that he had been able to predict something like 75 out of 75 earthquakes by tracking a “UHF wave” that moved out in front of the event. He was not taken seriously, as I recall. I think that was about 2000 or so.

      Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

      That I was aware of also, but didn’t know where to look.

      I very much appreciate your reply. If you’re up for some email exchanges, let me know. I think it could precipitate some interesting ideas, at the very least, maybe even new vectors for research.

      • Sorry for the late reply, i just noticed your comment.

        Yes sure mate. Are you maintaining the Paranomalist site? If yes, i can contact you there and we can talk for many things.

        Or you can ask Jay for my email, he must have it somewhere :-)

      • Sorry for the late reply, i just noticed your comment.

        Thank you for catching back up with me.

        Yes sure mate. Are you maintaining the Paranomalist site? If yes, i can contact you there and we can talk for many things.

        No, that would be John Carlson. It’s a WordPress site also, so we can talk in one of the forums for my articles, but I’d probably rather talk directly in email, since my email client tends to ship stuff to the spam folder without my asking it to.

        Or you can ask Jay for my email, he must have it somewhere :-)

        Okay, I’ll do that and ask him to send you mine.. I’ve got a week in a motel starting tonight, so I’ve got time on my hands and so plan to prepare my next few articles.

        I must say, after reading the links you sent me, and devouring the plasma physics site, I’m starting to feel like I have a much bigger piece of the puzzle than I did even 2 weeks ago. Also, one of John Keel’s old publishers is asking me for a book treatment based on my articles and I was getting a bit stuck for the best direction for it but now I feel like I might have one.

        Looking forward to some exchange of ideas.

  7. @Panos- your description of ion flux before a quake sounds a bit like the way that HAARP works. I’m not an engineer but doesn’t HAARP heat the atmosphere which returns electrical energy waves back down to the surface??? Maybe there’s another reason for this ion/electron flux.

    • Well an Ion Flux is just a current (an electric current). For having a current you need a potentian difference and a condactive path.

      Obviously for having such currents from the Ionosphere to the epicenter of quakes means that something causes the right conditions for the flow.

      My guess is the Sun or currents in the vicinity of the Earth (there are several currents in the Ionoshpere and the Magnetosphere of the Earth as you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Currents.jpg)

      Now I don’t know much about HAARP but it is transmitting a lot of energy to the Ionosphere in the form of ELF waves (that’s 6-10Hz) and this can cause disturbances that could lead to such conditions. I seriously doubt though that somebody could use this for targeting a quake as some people claim.

      I found facinating though some theories about mass mind control with the HAARP cause ELF can have that effect to our brains. These particular frequencies are exactly were our Brains operate and there are some studies about inducing emotions on specific fequencies (7.8Hz for happiness, 10Hz for Hypnosis, 6.6 Hz for sadness and 10.8 Hz for agressive behaviour).

      On the topic of the sounds now, I personaly don’t think that they are man made.

      • I’m fairly familiar with the ELF waves used in mind control- as in the 1970′s I was used as a research guinea pig for the global mind control program- they spent 10 years programming my brain with the MK-Ultra mumbo-jumbo. I do know for a fact that the mind control broadcasts do actually work- they definitely affect moods, etc. (Tesla knew of this as well). They have ELF towers near where I live and they do sometimes switch them ‘on’ and that causes me massive mood problems…usuallu in the summer when the temps are very hot… I think the high pitched, continuous sound that people are hearing ( not from the videos) might be coming from these towers rather than the ionoshpere as people claim- but my expertise is not in E&M but rather in theoretical math.

        Perhaps HAARP is actually the tool they are using for mind control rather than for weather manipulation. In any case I agree that these noises are not man made. I have thought that HAARP was not responsible for these sounds as they are occuring in many places in a narrow time frame…and there are many witnesses.

        In fact late last night around 3AM we had here -some of the more ‘tame noises’- not metallic, but these sounds were more of the ‘whooshy’ low volume sounds- with some background reverberation. I went outside to hear them but couldn’t see anything of consequence.

        Thanks for your info that was definitely helpful.

  8. Also- one other thing:

    I recall about 7 or 8 years ago I was wlaking with a friend to a restaurant on a street which has many bars/restaurants. As we were walking -all of a sudden a large amorphous form of green light appeared above this street ( just above our heads). Well, many other people saw this green light form- then suddenly it vanished…about 3-4 minutes after it vanished there was a complete power blackout on this street and all the bars/restaurants went dark- they were out of business for about 24 hours because the transformer nearby blew up. We just assumed that this green light form had something to do with it. I just wanted to recount that instance in case anyone else has seen something similar.

    • Well my friend, if you hear it then it is not ELF. You can’t hear something below 50-60Hz.

      As for the green glow, my belief about all these “ufo” sightings that involve shining balls, cloud like objects, and elongated tube like shapes is that they are just plasma in glowing mode.

      Plasma has three states. Arc in high energies (lightning), Glowing in middle energy levels (i.e. in the Neon lights or plasma tubes) and Dark (most plasma is in dark mode).

      According to the surrownding conditions plasma can change state so a plasma consentration may start glowing (and seem like appearing out of nowhere) and then go to Dark mode again (looking like it disappeared).

      Also in the daytime, plasma consentrations in glowing mode seem metalic because of the excess of electrons in the plasma cloud. ;-)

      For me this covers 99% of “ufo” cases.

      • @ Panos- no- what I meant was that the high pitched audible sounds can be heard but ELF’s are not…meaning they are 2 different events.
        The ELF’s in the brain’s response range can be felt not heard. I certainly don’t hear ELF’s but I can very easily know when they are bombarding my airspace with them as I have experience with what that feels like- the brain goes into weird mood changes when they are broadcasting those ELF’s.

        However, the high pitcehd sound that is audible is something completely different and might possibly come from the ‘wireless towers.’ Just a possibility. I meant that these are 2 different things that seem to be occuring right now as there are also vids of people who experience the high pitched audible sounds. We are dealing with a number of different things happening in a narrow time frame even though they might be unrelated.

        I have heard many people attach the concept of ‘plasma’ to the UFO sightings- and that might be the case- but what about UFO’s that follow people around?- a number of people including myself have had these experiences- wherein UFO’s come up close and folow one’s movements as if they are self-conscious. These types of things actually do occur.

      • I have direct expererience of being a victim of the Government’s mind control program. While I cannot prove that it is real- I can only verify it through personal experience. Since this program is clandestine it is difficult to prove even for people who are indirectly involved in it such as scientists and engineers. Between the end of WWII and the early 1990′s the MK-Ultra and related programs were in full force though now they are scaled back since the mind control technology is now in place.

        Many of the ‘wireless phone towers’ are not just for telecommunications. They can and do broadcast ELF waves for large scale mind control- as well, smart phones and the HDTV signal have mind control elements built into them. Most University Engineering programs do not teach all the truth about how energy works- there is much knowledge which has been withheld even from PhD candidates…

        By now most people are aware that after WWII many Nazi scientists came to america under Operation Paperclip. Much of our present technology was built in Germany and the U.S. during the last 70-80 years with the explicit purpose of controlling the general populace in a global communist empire which will be ruled over by one person who is the brother of Angela Merkle.

        Angela Merkle is not all she appears to be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=979NCgSShWQ

        The problem is that while some of these UFO’s are being created with human made technology- not all of them are….I cannot prove the existence of celestial beings but they are real and they have had direct contact with Nazi scientists for many decades…and this is where most of this technology comes from. Since the ‘aliens’ gave human scientists much advanced technology is it perhaps easy to understand how the technology can emulate the real properties of things like living energy- which is something akin to plasma except that it is self- conscious. Living energy is self conscious and some of the UFO’s are actually living beings with highly advanced ‘intelligence.’

        Scientist have made an incorrect assuption that everything in the universe is made up of physical energy ( like E&M/Gravity)-unfortunately that is not true and many levels of universe realities do exist outside of the range of human/scientific perception. A large portion of the universe is constructed of non-physical energy that is living and highly ‘intelligent’- this energy is not electro-magnetic and so is not recognized by present scientific methods.

        Nikola Tesla’s work was financed by a branch of the Russian KGB and the money was funneled through the JP Morgan bank. Tesla was somewhat aware that his inventions were going to be used for a global mind controlled communist empire. Tesla really didn’t want his inventions to be used in nefarious ways so he had a great falling out with the ‘Powers that be’ and as many people know he ended up as a penniless nobody at the end of his life…it is also been suggested that he may have been ‘whacked’ by the CIA because he refused to give them further scientific knowledge… I would not be a bit surprised.

        As we get closer to the NWO’s ‘party-time’ which is December 21,2012 – then many more ‘strange events’ will occur though not all of them are man-made. Perhaps now is a good time to procure a radiation shield for the brain. Just trying to shed some more light on what is happening.

  9. I think its kinda fishy. Ufo’s are being sighted a lot more lately. The government is cencoring the internet. Why? I have no idea but they must have a reason. And now this with the noises?! Its all fishy to me. Im still kinda skeptical but im a little worried about the whole dilema. So anyone have any info about this email me. Luismolano@rocketmail.com

    • UFOs (simply unrecognized things in the sky) have certainly been off the charts lately.

      They are censoring the internet to protect their own butts. A blogger can easily bring down a political figure. The power of the internet is a thing to fear.

  10. @Caleb

    Well Plasma was named this way because of its “life like” behaviour, similar to the blood plasma (that is mainly water that shares a lot of these characteristics with plasma).

    The name was given by Irving Langmuir (Nobel price in Chemistry, 1932) who was one of the plasma pioneers.

    Plasma has a tendency to group and isolate from its environment. It also moves as a group. So the correct definition for plasma is not ionized matter (or even worst ionized gas) but ionized and magnetized matter that responds to electromagnetic forces as a whole.

    I suggest you research it a bit. It worths the time and it will probably solve many of your questions. If you need some direction i will be happy to provide it.

  11. Just a note – the costaricannewssite.com with the sound clip provided, at that sight, hit the ‘about”.
    It’s not a new outlet, it’s an individual that started the site to sell a house, and started aggregating news, as in picking the stories he liked, placing them on the site. No journalism, just what he found and wanted to include. Just food for thought on the “source”.

    • Well, well, this is an interesting bit of info since the Costa Rica news site carried most of the information. I’ll check the about sections from now on. I haven’t seen one convincing thing about the Costa Rica incident including the TV news story.

      Also your blog suspects me of being a viral marketing scheme. If this is true I haven’t seen the money.

      Thanks for the tip.

  12. I’m from Brazil (I don’t speak English well), but the man of the brazilian video, says: In Taubate, many people reported a scarry sky boom, the police and the civil defense don’t know what happened, but people are afraid. Sorry, but I really don’t speak English well.

  14. I am Brazilian and I live in taubaté, I heard this news from friends who heard this noise, but I have not heard anything ..
    but I have 3 neighbors who claim to have heard ..

  15. this was also reported on Canadian news…local news and heard by a local mayor. I dont know what it is but I do beleive people have been hearing this noise it isnt being faked.
