Turn up your volume for this one. Filmed in Hamilton, Ontario at 7:00am Easter morning, this sounds like metal banging in the sky. Very atmospheric, the sound is clearly in the distance. I believe it’s not likely there would be construction on Easter Sunday.
There is no real consistency to the noise here. The witness says it sounds like clanging metal, wind without wind and booming. At one point her dogs go crazy. I like it when dogs go nuts because it makes the video more credible. I see no reason this wouldn’t be real. She seems a bit disturbed by the banging and ends the video by saying she’s going to get her husband.
The filming is continued from a different angle and includes her husband’s commentary. It sounds about the same from this particular angle as it did in the first video.
This is a very strange noise indeed. To my ear it’s like someone (the Easter Bunny?) in a workshop looking for a lost tool and in the process dropping and throwing things around. The husband says it sounds like construction, but it doesn’t sound like that she says. The husband wonders why the birds aren’t bothered. It upset the dogs but the birds are unfazed.
In the end she laughs nervously and says, “if something comes out of the sky I’m running to the basement.”
MORE AFTER THE JUMP…
We have documented a similar type of noise before. See here. And here is the video.
The folks taking the video sound pretty honest to me, for what that’s worth…. As does the sound. But who knows what it is. Without knowing the area (ie, is there major industry near by – and yes, some industries do stay open on Easter), it’s hard to judge).
Btw, interesting article (link below) about booms in the Poconos. Have you heard anything about this, Jayman?

fyi this sound is not so wierd…hamilton’s nick name is steel town this is the sounds from the scrap metal yard…I know because I lived a block away from it for years….not so strange just morons not knowing their own city. and yes they are open all year round even easter.
She says it wasn’t a steel mill and has never heard it before. Maybe it is. Who knows.
Trust me on this one. its not the steel mill its the scrap metal yard. the sound is fairly consistant with breaks in between the loud banging which is consistant with picking up the metal with a magnet and dropping it in another location. cant speak to why she has never heard it before other than its really faint in the video which might just mean she’s a fair distance from the yard and the noise just happened to carry because of the temp of the air that day who can say.
I believe you’re correct. I just present them as what they are and that’s strange sounds in the sky. Regardless of the source, it is an interesting video. I leave it up to you to decide and your explanation is probably correct. Notice I give no reason except saying it’s real. It is a real unfamiliar noise that is unknown to the witness and is coming from somewhere.
