It's startling residents, making houses shake, and causing the 911 phone lines to light up as they did on Monday and Thursday.

There's no doubt folks that live along South Ruth and South Cedar are hearing something.

They made 9-1-1 calls.

But there hasn't been an earthquake, a sonic boom, or any kind of accident near there.

As to what it is, it's as clear as mud.

The neighborhood between Maryville high school and the middle school is a quiet neighborhood, usually.

But Monday morning and Thursday night, residents there heard explosions captured by 911 phone calls.

December 7th has been etched into the American consciousness as one of the deadliest days in its maritime history. On December 7th 1941 the Japanese struck the American Naval fleet in Pearl Harbor, an attack that sent both nations headlong into a bloody and culturally changing conflict.

However there was another maritime tragedy that took place on the same date some 32 years earlier.

On December 7th 1909 the at 11 a.m., the Marquette & Bessemer No. 2, a 350-foot-long steel-hulled car ferry, left the port of Conneaut, Ohio with a cargo of rail cars filled to the brim with coal. The heavy laden ship headed north, bound for Port Stanley, Ontario. A notable passenger onboard the Marquette & Bessemer No. 2 was Albert Weis of Erie, the treasurer of the Keystone Fish Company. Weis carried $32,000 in a leather briefcase in order to purchase a Port Stanley fishery for his employers at the Fish Company.

Reported sightings of Bigfoot, UFOs and other mysterious phenomena were more widely scattered in Pennsylvania in 2008 than in the previous year, according to Greensburg researcher Stan Gordon, who has been keeping tabs on such incidents for nearly 50 years.

According to Gordon, who recently released his annual report of strange goings-on in the Keystone State, an array of unusual episodes that also included encounters with giant birds, strange sounds and puzzling footprints originated in 50 Pennsylvania counties last year, compared to reports received from 37 counties in 2007.

US: Object in sky has observer stumped

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's ... a UFO?

That suspicion crossed David Kent's mind when he spotted a bright turquoise ball in the sky Wednesday night from his Hockinson, Washington home. Kent saw the object travel across the sky before disappearing a few seconds later. He quickly dismissed the UFO idea, though.

"I don't believe in that stuff," Kent said.

Experts don't believe what Kent saw was a UFO either, but said it's likely space debris or a fireball, otherwise known as a brighter-than-normal meteor. The National Weather Service didn't have reports of anyone else seeing the object.

Saratoga Springs, New York - A brilliant flash lit up the sky three times here last evening, according to witnesses, then it happened again four hours later. Following is the unedited witness report from friends Jonah and Josh.
Last night at around midnight, our power dimmed, and a brilliant orange flash lit up the whole sky. This happened about 3 times within the next 2 minutes, during which the color shifted to a greener color. Then 4 hours later it happened again, only this time appeared to be moving down our street. The light, as described from a fellow New Yorker in Rochester, seemed to connect the sky to the ground. About 6 other people on my street have seen it, and two other people i know of about a half mile away saw it.
