Better grab some coffee or tea because this is a long post. If you’re interested in Kiev type sky noises, it’s worth your time.

The most famous metallic sound video on the internet with 1.6 million hits is the Kiev video from this summer. Since I started this blog one of the top search terms is “strange sounds in russia”. The sounds in this video have a big scare factor just like the War of the Worlds tripod sounds. Many commenters like to claim that it’s the “angels of the apocalypse” sounding their trumpets. Some think it’s a nearby dam that’s being stressed by high waters. Another theory is that it’s the venting of poisonous gases  from nuclear testing in underground tunnels. The list goes on and all of these explanation are pure speculation.

I will not be posting metallic sound videos anymore unless I feel that they offer us something different from the above. I think the video below is a mix of the Kiev sound and other sounds that I will outline after the jump.

Also, check out why this video above definitely has all of the characteristics of a hoax by reading my post about fakes. Let’s start by pointing out an admitted hoax similar to the Kiev sound.

Strange “Mystical” Sound in Ukraine: Nov 26

Filmed in Krivoy Rog, Ukraine, the poster describes the sound as “mystical”. Perhaps it seems mystical because it’s the ubiquitous, unexplainable roaring sound we have documented many times on this blog. What makes this example particularly interesting is that it simply stops as if it were shut off. I’ve read in many of the roaring example video descriptions that the sound simply stops. See 1:59 in the video.

Extreme Roaring in the Sky, Saint Petersburg, Russia: Oct. 4

Filmed in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The description says the sound was accompanied by an earth vibration.

My take: All I can say is O M G! This is the loudest recording I’ve posted. The fact that the earth is vibrating makes it even more intriguing. The famous and very loud Florida video described earth vibrations.  I wasn’t there and it gives me chills. I think if I were there I would run!
