© 20th Century FoxAlien invasion in Coventry? Loud droning has been heard during the storms
The sounds - compared to something out of the hit blockbuster film about alien invasion - have been audible during recent stormy weather.
Reports have described a loud noise in the sky which lasted around one minute and was heard by residents in Whitley, Walsgrave, Stoke and Wyken. Mitch Wise, 19, from Walsgrave, said the noise was so loud he could hear it inside his house despite all the windows and doors being closed.
He said: "I did think it sounded like something out of Independence Day, that kind of noise.
"I was just in my bedroom when I heard this loud noise outside my house. I looked outside my window, but I couldn't see anything.
"I saw two guys looking up to the sky outside. It was scary!
"I thought it was thunder at first but it was too long to be that or a jet.
"It was like a loud droning noise that lasted about a minute. I was just confused, I couldn't work out what it was.
"It was a lot louder than a lorry going past. It was loud with all the windows closed, but when I opened them it was really loud."
Another reader told the Coventry Telegraph the noise sounded like a hurricane.
