Southeastern North Carolina has been rattled these past few weeks by mysterious booms that have been heard in Brunswick, Pender and New Hanover counties. Some folks even reported explosive sounds so loud that they shook buildings.

No one has determined what is causing the booms, though some have rather humorous theories. In any case, we want to start keeping track of when and where these "Seneca Guns," as they're called, are heard.

And we need your help.

Please follow the link below and fill out a short form to tell us when and where you heard the booms recently. I know many of you posted to Facebook and Twitter to discuss the events as they were happening, so those might be a good place to check to refresh your memory of specific dates and times.

Once we get enough data, we'll start mapping and charting the booms, which may help paint a better picture of what's going on.

If you want to report multiple booms, you also may e-mail all of the information requested below for each instance to jeff.hidek@starnewsonline.com.

Start here.

Thanks! We'll post the map as soon as we get enough data, so please share this link with your friends.
