"What is that?" asked Dr. Walter, pointing to the seismograms displayed on a flat screen TV hanging on the wall of the OGS seismic lab. There were a series of red marks that indicate automatic picks by the computer as potential earthquakes.
However, these marks were spaced very regularly, so regularly that at first glance they looked like some sort of mechanical noise.
The problem with that assumption was that they were showing up on stations all across the state, all at the same time. Anything that widespread is usually associated with a correspondingly large scale event, like an earthquake.
This pattern we were seeing looked nothing like an earthquake, or even a series of earthquakes. Other potential causes we guessed at were military aircraft, meteor shower, or something related to gas pipelines. We dubbed this acoustic pattern 'The Anomaly.'Curious about what we were seeing, and what our sensors were hearing, we attempted to locate a potential source for individual pulses from the pattern.
This produced nothing but garbage location potentials with errors so high it was useless. We also attempted locating a source using the first arrival time of the pattern at various stations where it was clearly discernible.
This yielded a more interesting result. It still failed to yield a location, however, by plotting out the first arrival times on a map,
the anomaly arrived in a 'ping pong' like pattern back and forth across the state, mainly in a swath from Tulsa, across OKC and toward Lawton.

In following days, we noticed the anomaly showing up again, and at around the same time each day, as well (11:11am local time). This led to checking the data back in time to see what days we might have not noticed it.
Indeed, the anomaly had been occurring regularly. Oddly, though, sorting through the data backwards in time, the anomaly showed up less regularly and on fewer stations. After checking a period of three weeks with no activity, it seemed that March 15th was the first day that the anomaly occurred.
In performing this investigation, more curious details emerged.
The anomaly has been detected by sensors of various types (i.e.: Streckeisen STS-2, Guralp CMG-6T, Guralp CMG-C3ESPC, Guralp CMG-3T, RaspberryShake, etc.), on various networks, including networks the OGS doesn't manage (i.e.: Kansas, Texas, etc.)
Also, the pattern of the anomaly is quite specific, though it does often repeat once (never more than that, though): pulse, 20s pause, pulse, 80s pause, then 24 repeats of pulse, 20s pause. There have been very few variations to this pattern.
Each individual pulse ranges in intensity from what would be the equivalent of a magnitude 1 earthquake, up to magnitude 2.2 (this hasn't been investigated exhaustively, these values are from random sampling). Furthermore, we noted that the anomaly has never occurred on a Sunday, and it also didn't occur over the 4th of July weekend.
We contacted the Oklahoma Corporation Commission about the anomaly, and inquired if they had received any reports of strange noises.
Yes, in fact, they had received reports, and had even sent personnel to investigate some of the reports. However, they are as much in the dark as to a potential cause as we are. Contacting Tinker AFB, Vance AFB, and Altus AFB also didn't lead to any answers.

Each data point represents a station, showing when it detected the first ‘pulse’ of the anomaly, and how far away that station is from the first station to detect the anomaly that day. Note that the move out plot doesn’t make a nice, straight line, as would be typical for point sources like earthquakes or blasts.
The anomaly became even more curious after pursuing another avenue of inquiry. Picking a day with a significant number of data points (41 stations had clearly detected the anomaly on July 13, 2019), we generated a move out plot. Move out plots are simple distance versus time plots where the slope shows velocity.
We still couldn't determine the origin of the anomaly (even making first phase picks on the same 'pulse' of the anomaly on each of the stations that clearly detected it failed to yield an origin location without an error area larger than the state of Oklahoma). So, for a move out plot we instead used the 'origin' as the first station that detected the anomaly that day.
The plot might still be useful to determine velocity. And indeed, it did yield a velocity for the anomaly on that day: approximately 370m/s. This is near the speed of sound in air.
That suggested that the anomaly wasn't primarily moving as energy through the ground (vibrations move much faster through the earth than the air), but rather was moving through the air. Also, the overall trend of detection suggested that the anomaly moved from the Southeast to the Northwest.
The precision of timing in the pattern and regularity of its timing most days suggest that it is associated with some sort of widespread activity in the state that has recently been implemented (since March 15th). Also, over time it is occurring more regularly and more strongly (becoming more widespread). As for an exact cause, however, we're still just guessing.

The magnetic North Pole migrated from the western hemisphere into the eastern hemisphere of our planet, because the Deep Magma Plume Formation growing OUT OF CONTROL in Earth mantle transition zone has buoyancy-barrier corridor terminal ends that pushed around the globe into the Atlantic Ocean. Those magma-plume arms are filled with magnetite released by the bubbling-percolation action associated with deep earthquake events (410-660-kilometers deep) that has changed not only the planetary magnetic environment, but also has raised the Schumann Resonance Frequency of our planet as well. One of those mantle plume connections was made off the western coast of Africa to produce the "Strange Waves Rippled Around the World, and Nobody Knows Why" [Link] we my research team knows why in the same way we understand what is happening under Oklahoma and what is happening along the US West Coast.
Here is answer for Oklahoma in a nutshell: Seismic-volcanic pressures are shifting from the Indonesia-Fiji Seismic-volcanic Origination Zone across the Pacific Ocean "through" the Americans where Oklahoma is located along the foot formation forming the North American Craton with a depth of 220 kilometers. This quake swarm area in the center of the USA is shifting north into Kansas with quakes even striking in Nebraska to the north; shifting north and south and slightly east and west, as the pressures coming from the southwest are also shifting back and forth. These anomalous readings are coming from harmonic tremor activity on the far side of the planet originating under Indonesia-Fiji and coursing through Buoyancy-barrier Corridor 1 and Corridor 2 "and" (most importantly) through the main-blob corridor pushing from Indonesia-Fiji "through" Hawaii that make connection to Corridor 2A around March 15, 2019, when the anomalous readings started. There were none of these seismic-volcanic-energy readings over the July 4, 2019 weekend, because that marked the time that the big push came from the squeezing of Corridor 2A that raised the giant horn formations that triggered the 6.2 Canada Quake, the 6.4 California Quake and the 7.1 California Quake within a 48-hour period. These giant horn formations atop the Deep Magma Plume Formation are being raised by harmonic-tremor activity and magma-wave action coursing through the buoyancy-barrier corridors that displaces rocky-type magma supporting the crust, which in time will shake the entire US West Coast apart. You are monitoring the signs of the Giant's footsteps coming closer and closer, until the Giant arrives to create destruction of the USA from the west to the east producing this result [Link]
You should realize that everyone from NASA to the USGS is working every day to hide this information from the sheeple to try and avoid panic, because there is every reason to PANIC. Everyone west of the Rocky Mountain Ridge and everyone east of the Mississippi River Basin with the resources is wise to relocate immediately onto the North American Craton and join a strong survival group program. We have three survival groups forming in the Ozarks and one along the Texas-New Mexico border if anyone is interested in subscribing to the Newsletter-Survival Group Programs at [Link] and "before" the crap hits the fan.
