In spring of 2011, residents of Windsor, Ontario, Canada began hearing and feeling unexplained humming and vibrating noises. Currently the source can’t be positively located.
It’s described as an idling diesel engine that keeps people awake at night. Some people have claimed it can cause physical symptoms. The noises is said to happen mostly late at night or early morning.
Here is a great video of tormented residents.
An older interview is here. A woman describes it as rattling the picture on her wall.
An earlier government study claimed the vibrations were coming from Zug Island, an industrial area right across the US border from Windsor. See here. Zug Island is a highly secure and guarded island protected by the US government. Some Youtube videos that someone made showing a sound meter pointed toward the island have been removed. I would imaging it’s illegal to point anything at a government protected facility. In certain places in the US you can’t even take pictures of bridges.
According to this article here, The University of Windsor is now doing a government funded study using something called a pentangular array. The device will concentrate on tracing the low frequency of the hum. The study will take 10 months to complete. Since a previous study suggested Zug Island, what will be done if the array proves it to be the source. I seriously doubt anything will be done at all.
It’s not like I’m old but with age comes wisdom (for some of us). One thing that has become increasingly clear in my life is that “sh**t happens”. It’s a cliche phrase but it’s also a way of looking at life.
Recently I’ve been struck by how weird things are getting in terms of undeniable earth changes occurring in the world. The world changes all the time but I see an acceleration in these events.
My Youtube addiction includes subscriptions from Jenna Marbles to Shielaaliens. It also includes many channels offering news compilations covering all sorts of catastrophic world events from floods to earthquakes. The earth is changing, has always changed and will continue to change. I accept this and until recently have dismissed these stories as examples of what has always happened since the beginning.
However, I’ve recently changed my opinion. As I watch the news compilations I have begun to notice words like “rare”, “unprecedented” and “extreme”. Often interviewed witnesses and newscasters will say things like “I have never seen anything like it” or “What are the chances…”.
One person in particular I like to follow is Youtuber fidockave213. Once a month he shows us all the scary stuff going on in the world complete with scary music and Bible verses. I have always watched them partly out of morbid fascination akin to watching a train wreck. These are meant to scare you but they are the real deal. WARNING: Watch if you dare. You will be creeped out.
Russian Meteor
So what is all this commentary leading up to? Well the Russian meteor that occurred a few weeks ago got me thinking about sky booms. There have been many, many recorded fireballs over the past few years, often with sonic booms. What is unusual about the Russian meteor is the damage it caused. That’s something you don’t see with these fireballs.
I will cut to the chase. I started documenting strange sounds in 2011 and covered many types of strange sound videos. Occasionally I would find some with news clips covering “loud booms”. Apparently loud booms have been happening for some time. The only difference is that it appears to be happening a lot more lately! I see this going hand in hand with the accelerating bizarre weather events we’ve been experiencing from record temperatures, drought, unseasonal tornadoes, thousand mile hurricanes, extreme snow storms, more 8.0 earthquakes than ever and the list goes on. These things have always happened but not to this degree in recorded history. It’s the frequency and severity that one can’t help noticing.
All of the past “strange sounds”, while recorded events, are not usually supported by widespread news stories. The ones that sound like venting factories, jet roaring, metallic scraping, etc. do not bother me at all. They are probably something not so strange. But the constant reports of booming happening everywhere is something you can believe.
No One Knows
Booms are happening all over the world and people are trying hard to explain them. They say oh it’s sonic booms, earthquakes, meteors, etc. But then they can’t find any recorded sources, like military exercises or earthquakes. Continue Reading
Not a whole lot of “strange sound” videos out there. Actually there are tons, but they are mostly fakes. They include full stereo overlays, copies of Kiev, copies of War of the Worlds, people recording things that cannot be heard, people recording machinery, people reposting really good examples from last year and claiming it just happened…and on and on. I was hoping the constant stream of bogus “strange sound” videos had stopped since last year, but no….
The most convincing recordings are the Sandy sounds. This is because they were recorded in three places by three people at the same approximate time. Hard to fake that. We’re paying close attention to this particular noise because it has no precedent.
Maybe There Really is a Post-Sandy Strange Sound, Maybe Not
This video below was shot in Illinois on November 6th and has the simple description of “Never hear this before, can someone tell me what it might be?”. They have no other related videos and no mention of HAARP anywhere. Initially I dismissed it as a siren but then my curiosity was piqued as I wondered whether it was similar to the Pre-Sandy sounds. It is a very poor recording obviously done on a cheap phone and if it was a fake they would have done a better job. I’ve compared it to all three Pre-Sandy videos below and maybe it is the same. It has a similar pitch and is constant. Maybe it’s a stretch but it’s now documented here. What can I say, there is nothing else out there to analyse.
Compare it to the Pre-Sandy sound in Toronto.
Believability Scale:| | | | | | | | | |
plus: sounds genuine, person has no related posts on YT, bad recording, simple curiosity, no mention of HAARP, no label with the word “strange”, categorized under gaming (lol), he likes games. minus: Short, could be anything
Are they the same?
POST-SANDY
PRE-SANDY
By the way, perhaps I was too judgmental of the deleted video from Moose Jaw in the post below. Maybe she deleted it because she didn’t want the attention. It did seem real. The author had no other related videos.

Trippy/Strange/Weird Clouds and Noise
This video below filmed in New Zealand on November 8th is a bit hard to describe. The author says “Clouds looked much more trippy/strange/weird than the footage makes out but what is that noise? There is no heavy traffic near by and cars don’t even sound like that haha plus it sounded like it was coming from above.”
If you turn up the volume and listen carefully about half way through you hear the Pre-Sandy sound. Compare it to the New York recording below it. At first I couldn’t tell what sound he was talking about and then I realized what it was. And also the clouds are completely natural and referred to as Cirrocumulus clouds.
Believability Scale:| | | | | | | | | |
plus: person has no related posts on YT, apologizes for quality. minus: Mention of HAARP, label with the word “strange”, ran around Youtube asking people like Sheilaaliens to look at the video, has a user name with the word Aliens in it and seems hellbent on promoting it.
POST-SANDY You can really hear the similarity at the 20 second mark.

No Strange Sound but Very Strange
This is unrelated but the most bizarre lightning I have ever seen. It looks kind of like sheet lightning but on crack. This video was recorded November 3rd somewhere in the US. The weird sky event caused the witness extreme anxiety. I can see why! This silent lightning went on for over three hours.
UPDATE: This video was removed by author proving it was indeed a fake.

This video was recorded in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada on November 5th.
The post below this one (here) cites examples of a strange sound heard right before hurricane Sandy hit. This video from Moose Jaw sounds very similar. I find it very curious that the sound heard before Sandy is being heard in Canada after the storm. The witness says “We don’t have any alarms in our small city so we dont know what these are.”

UPDATE/INSERT: And this video below is why it’s impossible to separate the fakes from what’s real. A reader of this blog must have seen the above video and decided to create a stupid fake using the War of the Worlds soundtrack. Unfortunately some people without any knowledge of “strange sound” fakery will think this is real. Sad. If you follow this blog I have debunked almost all strange sound videos except for constant jet roar noise. I can smell a fake a mile away. If you fake videos I will do my best to expose your video as such. What if the pre- and post- Sandy sounds are real and what if they’re a warning. Is it possible the Sandy sounds are a result of the ever increasing extreme weather. If so this fake muddies our pursuit of meaning and truth about strange sounds. It won’t be funny if that ominous high-pitched sound becomes a regular occurrence.

And here in Calgary last night.
He says in the description: “I was gonna tape me walking an out of nowhere this huge noise just came from the sky [snip] i also couldn’t hear the noise cuz for some reason i couldn’t hear the high pitched noise only the low thunder like sound and even then only for a minute an i had my head phones in to keep on beat.”
I will attempt to translate. I think he is saying he was taping himself walking while listening to music through headphones. Suddenly a loud noise came out of nowhere which he could hear as thunder through the music. He didn’t realize the high pitched sound was recorded until later. READ ON…
This is a really interesting short video of a strange sound heard in New York before Sandy hit. The person who captured this strange sound said it could be heard all over the city. It is described as coming from the sky and ground and sounding like a machine with a constant hum. Very eerie!
And here it is again in Toronto.
And again here in an unknown location obviously not in the city. Kinda kills the wind through the skyscraper idea. Unfortunately this person reposts other people’s videos without sourcing the original with information. If you know the original source with info please post it in comments and I will replace it.
There are many posts on this blog regarding strange sonic booms heard all over the world but this is the first time we actually get to hear one. I couldn’t imagine what others have described as extremely loud sky booms until now. Amazingly here is one caught on a security camera. The witness says he was nearly blinded by a light when 20 seconds later he heard this incredible example of a meteor boom. We can’t really attribute this to anything but a meteor due to the fact there were meteor showers over Northern California the day before. He says the roar was unlike any thunder he has ever heard. Can’t argue with him on that.
Filmed in Pensacola, Florida on April 22nd. This is an odd one. We’ve never heard a constant jet roar type video that audibly fluctuates. The witness says it sounds like jets continually taking off or circling. I laugh every time I play this because it sounds like the birds are answering the sound. It seems to have been uploaded directly from a phone.
Yet more booms, but this time we have a culprit. Early Sunday morning around 8:00am on April 22nd, residents of Nevada and Northern California were awoken by a very loud sonic boom. The cause was a large meteor, also known as a bolide, that came very close to the Earth’s atmosphere before exploding.
Apparently this meteor was not actually recorded and all images in the news piece are just example photos. This was not clear to me. So I found some report excerpts from the American Meteor Society below. It even had an odor…
She stated it went up then down, and looked some what triangular, was silver/metallic in color and glowing/flashing (it caught her attention as she thought it was a reflection off the windows/mirrors, but there wasn’t a moving light source in sight).
It was a bright, colorful flash across the sky that stopped abruptly,exploded into what looked like brown pieces (similar to the Road Runner/dynamite cartoons) and then disappeared completely.
It was very low, large and bright and continued across sky towards the Fresno/Sacramento central valley area Glowing yellow and green, very bright
Large boom and some electrophonic hissing afterward.
Also, SMELLED somewhat like the smell of someone WELDING, maybe 20 mins. to 1/2 hour after visual, maybe 20 mins. after sonic boom. Exploded with small fragments and reminded me of the green sparklers on July 4.
The flash was vibrant green with a different coloration in the center, possibly a darker green/blue color. It was conical in shape and its width was longer than its length without the brief trail it left behind.
They’re attributing it to something called a Lyrid meteor shower that happens late in April. The Earth makes an annual pass by a debris field left by a passing comet. This meteor was rare because it could be seen during the day which means it was quite large. The big rock apparently disintegrated before hitting the ground and the explosion was equal to a very small nuclear blast. The guy in this video below says it was probably the size of a washing machine. Many people thought it was an earthquake because it shook houses and rattled windows. I buy the idea it could be part of the Lyrid shower but I haven’t heard of this type of extreme meteor boom before. I also thought the showers were nice and pretty shooting stars, ya know…the quiet kind. From Nevada:
The boom was even weirder because it wasn’t just a boom. According to this article here, witnesses reported that after the explosion there was other rumbling that lasted a while and sounded like thunder. Listen to the police audio below where the police describe TWO booms and low rumbling after the fact. Very strange!
According to this article here, a scientist in Canada specializing in meteor sound waves, said it had a very strong infrasonic signal. The signal was recorded in a monitoring station and lasted 18 minutes. These signals are very low frequency.
Over a week ago another meteor was seen over seven states and it didn’t make a peep.
And this one below is fascinating! The footage is taken from various legitimate sources and was recorded April 14th (INSERT: my mistake…this was from 2010, I will keep it in anyway) over Wisconsin. The poster doesn’t think it’s a meteor. Fun to watch.
So why all of a sudden is there some sort of sonic boom every other day? It’s either unexplained, air shows or meteors. Regardless of the source, it’s disconcerting that the world is suddenly being bombarded with sonic booms.
Some sort of jets practicing for an air show broke the sound barrier at a very low altitude in Tucson, Arizona. This in turn blew out windows in a strip mall.
A witness says:
“It sounded much like an earthquake…everything shook all at once unlike anything I’ve ever experienced living in Tucson my whole life.
A local Air Force Base has taken responsibility. The article is here.
Of course we just had another incident with jets breaking the sound barrier in the UK. The jets in that case were intercepting a helicopter transmitting a distress signal. Here is the supposed video Typhoon jet on course.
I try to stay away from conspiracy ideas but in this case, it’s a bit strange don’t you think? What are the chances that within a few days of each other that sonic booms occurred over two major cities in the US and UK. Sonic booms do not happen every day. I’m not saying it wasn’t caused by jets but I am saying it’s hard to believe it’s a mere coincidence. Sonic booms are illegal over populated areas. Why would these jets do this? Was it really an accident? Does the military make these sort of mistakes?
Also keep in mind another boom was reported over San Diego on the same day without jets. All coincidences?
I think in this case it might be worth mentioning this article here. I can’t find a truly legitimate source for the story but here it is. Take it for what it is.
At 5am Easter Sunday in Costa Del Sol, Spain, witnesses are claiming that low-flying jets were chasing a UFO. The object was described as long and thin with flashing lights and it made a strange humming noise. Perhaps a drone? According to the article, military exercises aren’t allowed over populated areas.
From the article:
One British reader, who asked to remain anonymous, told the paper this weekend: “It was terrifying. They were clearly tailing this strange-looking craft.
It has been suggested by various conspiracy sites that the helicopter being pursued in the UK was really a UFO. Many reason the response was overkill. Does a highjacked helicopter call for two Typhoon jets?
UPDATE 4/12: The young lady in the video at the bottom of this post explains what she heard. While she is explaining the sound occurs again. It’s a bit long but worth it.
Hat tip to Bront.
—————————————————-
Filmed in Virginia, this video is being pretty widely distributed and is generating lots of discussion. It’s a type of sound I’ve documented before with the first being recorded in Indianapolis last year. See here. My first thought is that someone is banging on a big steel tank of some sort. The rhythm of it sounds intentional. The Indianapolis one sounds exactly the same, as if someone is knocking urgently on a hollow steel door.
The witness says this has occurred before and it started August of last year. I dismissed this one initially because it sounds fake. On the other hand, the post below this one (from Ontario) has similar metal banging and also it’s nowhere near Virginia.
Here is the one from Indianapolis last November. It’s nearly exactly the same. Compare the two.
Do we have a new type of sound emerging like the “sky dragons” that were explained away when someone sent us a video of venting valves? See here. Will we see more and more videos of this type of metal banging sound? Will someone eventually send us a video of an old man standing in front of an empty propane tank with a hammer? Will I have to write a post saying what an idiot I was to have doubted the official explanations? We shall see.
Is this a new type of hoax? How can something from the sky have anything to do with metal, given that metal has weight. The size of the metal would have to be huge to make sound that loud. All of these types of metal banging sounds have an apparent direction, meaning whatever it is, it’s probably bouncing off the atmosphere.
Let’s think about it for a minute. Something made of heavy metal doesn’t float. It takes some sort of force to make these sounds. Direct multiple blows would do this. The recorded incidents seem to always be at night. So often many of the strange noises happen at night.
Once again we have a pretty good “twin” video below helping prove it’s real, at least real in the sense they heard “something”.
Also filmed in Virginia this witness, a young teen girl, has heard this noise for several nights. I’m pretty sure it’s the same noise but I find this one more disturbing somehow. Perhaps it’s her reaction.
She chokes and says, “What the fuck is that? Oh my god I’m about to fucking cry.” She says it’s coming directly from the sky.
