I suppose strange coincidences do happen. Here we have three different types of sounds with the same location and close dates.
February 3rd: Let’s start with this article and video from cbs5az.com, Gilbert residents awake to loud noise from generating station.
The witness in the news clip says:
“I just thought maybe there was something catastrophic that was going to happen, no warning, no nothing so it was kind of pretty frightening,” said Von Hurst.
The noise started at 7:00am and lasted 20 minutes and was described as a hissing noise like hot air balloons, or standing behind a JET plane. The news claims the source was from a nearby hydro turbine power plant and they’re pleased to remind you they figured it out. The company actually issued a statement saying a unit went offline and vented steam that made a loud noise.
Mr. Hurst actually recorded the sound on his phone. I looked hard for this recording on Youtube but I suppose it’s now property of the news station. Unfortunately, the drone of the newscaster only allows us to hear two seconds of the recording. But that’s enough for me because it sounds like a “sky roar” (see example here). The power plant is half a mile away according to the news. Mr. Horst says it sounded like it was right on top of his house. This is a common statement made by many people who’ve experienced this type of sky event. A witness says the same thing about house hovering here.
Would a power plant venting steam really be that loud from half a mile away? You can tell by the video in the news piece that it’s very loud. I’m skeptical. What’s up with all this loud industrial venting going on anyway, like here. I don’t buy it. Why doesn’t the news let us hear the sound instead of chatter. (I don’t mean a conspiracy, I mean why can’t they shut up so I can hear it!) The news explanation is perfectly reasonable, but if you’ve been following this blog you know that we’ve been seeing a lot of examples of “sky roars”. See a lesson on types here.

INSERT 1/8: FROM BOB IN THE COMMENTS: I think there might be something to this phenomena and all, but I’m not sure it´s such a good idea to start thinking doubting so much official explainations, it’s a sure way to become a paranoid nutjob. Like “why doesn’t the news run a full minute of the audio live” etc…Everything will start to seemingly point to conspiracy and menace, I’ve been there many times in the past, not a great place to go…Anyway, great work on the site.
MY RESPONSE: Good point, however, the media comes up with lame excuses just to prove they have the answers. They are not to be trusted. Like the dubbed video in the Costa Rica incident and some of the stupid things they come up with involving sky booms here and here. Look at the Oshawa redacted statement from the news here. They have lot’s of power and can start wars. People don’t like open ended arguments so they grab any explanation. Hell, look at all the videos they’ve shown using sky noise I’ve proven to be fake. The media doesn’t purposely distort, but I don’t think they have all the answers. As far as Malaysia goes I don’t not believe the researchers but it’s the people that don’t agree. As a result of documenting this stuff we have the exact same sounds in Sweden and Oshawa.
So it’s not about conspiracy, it’s that the media makes shit up to get viewers. They couldn’t have very well shown the video Mr. Hurst produced and said “well this is odd.” No they must come up with an answer, otherwise it’s chaos. I’m not here to say if it’s true or not, but often their excuses have holes and common sense tells you things don’t make sense. So to repeat, no conspiracy, just grabbing anything they can grab. Now for the purposes of this site being a journal, often another incident will occur contradicting them. So we shall see.

MORE AFTER THE JUMP…
January 28th: Next up from Scottsdale which is about 7 miles from Gilbert, we have two videos shot by different people. This is what I call a “twin” (see here). It just means the same sound was recorded around the same time, date or location by two people. It’s very solid evidence that a video is real. No reason to think these two below aren’t real. They’re very boring by sky noise standards. One of the witnesses describe it as a strange atmospheric “booming, thunderous, explosive” sound. It occurred Saturday, January 28th from 10 to 10:30 pm. Some YT commenters think it sounds like fireworks. Perhaps, but I can find no celebrations from that date. I can’t decide if it sounds like thunder or fireworks. They point out that the skies were clear. Anyway, it disturbed the witnesses enough that they decided to film it. There was a house fire/explosion on Sunday but it doesn’t line up with the date. Plus the sound in these videos is ongoing.
February 5: Not sure about this one. It was filmed on February 5th in Gilbert. The same place as the steam incident above. It’s very weird and very short. I am not sure how to describe the noise. I’m including it because of it’s date and location.
The Youtube description says:
We came home tonight and heard this strange sound in the sky. It sounded like we were on Lost. (an American TV show.)
In the video he says, “Are you scared Gabby?” She says, “It’s moving…we do live by the airport.” Laughing he says, “Where’s the smoke monster at?” I guess this implies he thinks it’s an alarm. Her comments imply she doesn’t. I think she says, “You know we left the baby in the car.” I laughed out loud at this.
This seems real but is it a sky noise or an alarm.
I’ve never before seen in my months of tracking this stuff, three different sound event videos in one small area. Coincidence? Are the gods playing with us? (That was a joke.) You can make your own conclusions about these three unrelated sound events in the same location.
I think there might be something to this fenomena and all, but I´m not sure it´s such a good idea to start thinking doubting so much official explainations, it´s a sure way to become a paranoid nutjob. Like “why doesn´t the news run a full minute of the audio live” etc…Everything will start to seemingly point to conspiracy and menace, I´ve been there many times in the past, not a great place to go…Anyway, great work on the site.
Yes this is true, however, the media comes up with lame excuses just to prove they have the answers. They are not ot be trusted. Like the dubbed video in the Costa Rica incident and some of the stupid things they come up with involving sky booms. People don’t like open ended arguments so they look for any explanation. See here and here. Hell look at all the videos the media showed using what I have proven to be fake videos. The media doesn’t purposely distort. i just think the don’t have the answers so they grab at anything. As far as Malaysia goes I don’t not believe but it’s the people that don’t agree. So it’s not about conspiracy, it’s that the media makes shit up to get viewers. They couldn’t have very well shown the video Mr. Hurst produced and said “well this is odd.” No they must come up with an answer, otherwise it’s chaos. I am not here to say if it’s true or not, butoften their excuse have holes and common sense tells you things don’t make sense.
All i have to say is look up 2012 awakening, gaia(mother earth) rebirth, and start believeing in fairytales all over again my friends <3 truly a magnificent time to be alive!!
My husband has worked at a hydro power plant for many years, and I am wondering if he has heard any similar noises to the first video. I will ask him about it when he gets home and post his response, as I am curious.
Gosh please do! I’m very interested to hear what he has to say. Can that sound travel less than a mile. I was wrong, the article said less than a mile. Would it fill the sky and be that loud? I appreciate this and if he says it’s possible for it to sound that loud while someone is filming from inside their house I will eat crow. Being so close to a power plant I would think this would have happened before.
The two Arizona videos are probably audio ducting of a storm some place several miles away. Don’t know if we can have such weather info but it would worth checking.
About the plan noise.. well much too many valves going wrong lately don’t you think? It is too loud too..
I think. But there is an official explanation. It just doesn’t seem like it could possible be that loud, that far away. The guy was filming it from inside his house. That’s why I didn’t believe it.
One of the videos has a weather link for that day showing no storms.
I just left Arizona last year after living there for 16 years. AZ is indeed known for incredible thunderstorms, but in all my years there I never heard anything like the booming heard on the videos. The frequency of the booms is odd– they occur in more rapid succession than I’ve ever heard with thunder. Plus, our monsoon season is at the end of the summer. A winter thunderstorm would be very rare in Arizona, and no storms were reported that day.
Keep in mind that Arizona is, historically, a mining state, because we have incredible underground resources. We also do a whole lot of weird things to the environment in an effort to support the water needs of a huge city like Phoenix. So underground mining, fracking, or other geological work is a possibility in my mind.
From an X-Files-type perspective, well… Arizona, Nevada, and all those desert areas of the SW are hotspots for both confirmed government/military work and rumors of more clandestine happenings. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if this mystery leads back to those kinds of experiments and testings.
Sky roar is back in Oviedo Florida. About 8:45 PM tonight Feb 8, 2012 I noticed the sound was loud enough to hear inside the closed house with TV on. I called my next door neighbor about 10 minutes later and she was hearing it inside the house as well. She said it was same noise she and her husband heard 2 weeks ago. She went outside and found another neighbor, a police officer on his driveway looking to the sky as well. Whatever it is is very powerful and does not appear to move in the sky as an aircraft would.
Check out all the sky roar vids in the categories to the right.
Do you happen to have any steam generating power plants anywhere nearby?
I spoke with my husband who works at a hydro plant, and he says that hydro power plants don’t use steam at all. This plant in Arizona is actually a natural gas power plant which does use steam. Anyway, I wish this helped come to a conclusion of some sort, but it doesn’t look like it. I wonder how far away that noise could be heard.
As an aside, I live 11 miles from a nuclear power plant (which produces steam also) and heard a terrifying, jet like roaring sound at the end of December or beginning of January of this year. My kids heard it too and were freaked out by it. It was in the middle of the night. I did end up going outside to look into the sky but could not see anything. Now I am wondering if the local nuke plant had some sort of malfunction! Yikes! I know how they like to cover things up so I doubt they would own up to the sound.
By the way – the smoke monster is from the show LOST itself. It’s an actual smoke monster.

Thanks for this info! I had no idea.
BTW I love the Misfits!
Glad I helped
Cheers! Misfits are awesome

I first heard about these sounds lasr week. It was during work when a group of people started talking how the world going to end and that kind of stuff. Well i didnt really hear it until 4 night ago when i think i heard it at night… Im not sure if i did. I started watching the videos on youtube and found out it was kind of like the russian video but very weeak. The last two day i have been hearing a very strange sond. Nothing like the videos. It sounds like a plane thats passing by but it fades out and then it get loud. Im going to try to record it. It very werid beause the area i live in doesnt get many planes… It a border town in mexico. And as for the planes well the sounds last for about 10 to 20 minutes… What could it bee
I heard the exact same sounds as Mr Von Hurst, in Louisville, Kentucky on February 13, 2012 except the sound came from the Northwest and tracked Southwest. It had the same deafening sound. It sounded like a vacuum/jet engine and lasted for 3 minutes.
Well that explains the search terms in my WordPress stats.

F you truly want the facts. Give this a chance. I know the only thing that can make that noise in an on-going manner is,.. HARRP. It’s a government project with many uses. It can make low and powerful enough sound to rumble the earth. I’m not going to try to explain all about it here but, it has a world-wide reach and can be used as a weapon to shake the earth and expose dormant volcano’s or cause earth quakes. HARRP is also being used to control the weather. PLEASE do not discount this message. I have been looking into this for years and I’m one hundred percent correct about HARRP. It’s located in Alaska. Go to Google earth and see. This program is being used in conjunction with another government project, lovingly known by those that know as, CHEMTRAILS. Just look it up. Everyone must know that airplane contrails evaporate quickly. The chemical clouds last as long as a day and spreed out into a thin layer of haze. These man made clouds can harm your family. Take the time to get the truth. There’s truth by people that know, on the web and junk by crack-pots. Don’t let the hunt for truth be obscured by noise of these nut-cases. The government will not say what it’s all for or even if it’s true. We all know they’ve covered-up other projects and these are no exceptions. Get the Facts, take the time, then spread the word. Be well!
Just to let you know the F sould be ( If ) sorry, its not a curse word. Be informed! Bruce
Not again! the word is ( should ). While my spelling is lacking, my facts are just that,.. facts. I wish I could take the time to go into detail but it would become a book. You will have to search for yourself. I will try to direct any questions to a page that has the answers but most of the work is on you.
