During the second half of 2011, a lot of people all over the planet started reporting hearing really strange noises coming from the sky.\u00a0 In some instances the noises produced a loud rumbling such as a train, a thunderstorm or the slamming of a heavy door would make.\u00a0 In other instances, the noises sounded more like “groaning”.\u00a0 In yet other instances the noises sounded almost as if a trumpet was playing.\u00a0 Dozens of videos went up on YouTube purporting to document this phenomenon, but the truth is that you can fake almost anything on a YouTube video and many dismissed these strange “strange sounds” as an Internet hoax.\u00a0 However, now entire towns in the northern part of the United States are hearing strange noises in the sky and the mainstream media is reporting on it.\u00a0 In fact, one U.S. town is planning to spend thousands of dollars to hire an engineering firm to investigate where these strange sounds are coming from.\u00a0 At this point a lot of theories about these strange noises are being floated, but so far scientists have not been able to give us a definitive explanation for the source of these strange noises.\u00a0 So exactly what in the world is going on?<\/span><\/p>\n This phenomenon made national news again this week because of what has been going on in Clintonville, Wisconsin.\u00a0 Hundreds of residents of Clintonville reported hearing incredibly loud noises coming from the sky for several nights in a row.\u00a0 Even <\/span>CBS News<\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/span>is reporting on what is happening in Clintonville….<\/span><\/p>\n Since Sunday, the residents have been disturbed by “booming” noises loud enough to wake them from their sleep.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Last night, hundreds of people attended a public meeting to get to the bottom of booms. But they aren’t any closer to the truth.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n One resident told CBS News, “The last few days we’ve been having (a) booming shaking noise.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Another resident said, “(For) a lot of people the house is rattling, you can feel the ground rattling, and it’s booming all the time. It’s kind of like, what’s going on? You don’t know what’s happening.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n So what is causing these noises that are so loud that even the ground is shaking?<\/span><\/p>\n According <\/span><\/span>to Fox News<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, the town has investigated every possible explanation that they can think of for these strange noises….<\/span><\/p>\n City officials say they have investigated every possible human cause. They checked water, sewer and gas lines, contacted the military about any exercises in the area, reviewed permits for mining explosives and inspected a dam next to City Hall. They even tested methane levels at the landfill in case the gas was spontaneously exploding.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n So far no explanation has been found.\u00a0 So Clintonville has decided to spend $7,000 to hire an engineering firm to investigate the cause of these strange noises.<\/span><\/p>\n According to geologists, the town does not sit on any fault lines and the ground beneath the town is very solid.\u00a0 Some geologists are claiming that “<\/span>micro-quakes<\/span><\/strong><\/a>” could have been responsible, but others find this explanation to be very unsatisfying.<\/span><\/p>\n For many town residents, solving the mystery is not as important as getting these strange noises to stop so that they can get some sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n
