They showed up this week in
Oklahoma, were then recorded in
Massachusetts, and
one reader even reported them in Indiana, but it seems that the "Mystery Booms" are still going strong with new reports coming out of the West Coast.
The first new set of strange explosions were heard in Weber County, Utah last night around 9:00 PM, prompting hundreds of concerned citizens to phone the local authorities. Interestingly enough, when
Fox 13 News rang up the University of Utah to check in with the Seismograph department, they claimed that while there were no earthquakes to speak of, they did pick up some unidentified "sonic activity" around the time the booms were reported.
One resident believed that the noises were related to aircraft:
Sonic booms. They're not supposed to break the sound barrier of the continental U.S., but they did so. I know they're doing some night training over the West Desert because I saw a string of tracers being fired high in the sky tonight, about 10 or 11 o'clock. Way out west of Skull Valley.
The local Hill Airforce base, on the other hand, claims that they had no aircraft in the air after 6:00PM. Likewise, the National Guard stated that had no weapons training that day, while the ATF told reporters that there were not rocket tests that day either. Hrmm..
Comment: Nothing to see here folks, it's just another fireball...
