They were recorded on January 18, 2016 in the city of São Tomé das Letras, Minas Gerais and are kind of terrifying. The mysterious sky sounds filled up the sky of mystic São Tomé das Letras, Brazil.

As you may know, São Thomé das Letras is believed to be one of the seven energy points of the Earth and is thus an attraction for mystics, spiritualists, and alternative societies.

Although this new sound attracted considerable attention, its source remains a mystery. Some residents and officails believe it was the sound of jet turbine hovering the city. But the problem with this 'aircraft' hypothesis is that the noise was constantly heard more than five minutes without any interruption.

Moreover, no planes or helicopters were spotted in the sky. So what might have caused the weird noise heard in São Tomé das Letras, Brazil?

It's a mystery not only in this area, but in communities across the country.

They sound like loud explosions, except there's never any damage. So, what is really going on?

Imagine you're sitting on your front porch when out of nowhere a cataclysmic explosion goes off. You see a bright light, you feel the force, and then, it goes away. Then, when emergency responders go to investigate, they can't find a thing.

Well, it happened in Fayette County recently and it's happening around the United States.

The noise has been blamed on various causes, such as submarines, phone masts, wind farms and gas pipes

Residents of Bristol are reporting the return of a mysterious hum which has been heard for more than three decades.

The "Bristol hum" made the news in the late 1970s, when residents complained to the council about a strange noise.

For the past fortnight, several Bristol residents have reported the low-pitched humming noise on social media.


In a YouTube video uploaded on 4 January, a man claims to have recorded a noise matching the description of the hum.


Comment: In the last few weeks strange sounds have also been heard in the Netherlands, Morocco, United States and Singapore. For more information on this mysterious phenomenon, also recorded in ancient texts, read:

Question

Mysterious rumblings in Vermont, US - blamed on 'frost quakes'

Shelburne, Vermont

This year's unseasonably warm winter weather mixed with waves of bitterly cold air has brought a rare and often frightening natural phenomenon back to Vermont—Cryoseisms. A cryoseism, or frost quake, occurs after a sudden deep freezing of the ground, when the pressure created from water expanding into ice abruptly causes stress fractures in underground soil and rocks. The result of these fractures can produce localized ground shaking and noises similar to an earthquake. While usually alarming, frost quakes typically pose little physical harm beyond occasionally causing a small crack in the ground where the frost quake occurred.

On the night of January 8, 2016 and morning of January 12, 2016, several Shelburne residents in the vicinity of the La Platte River near Falls Road reported hearing mysterious sounds that many equated to an earthquake. One resident, despite not living near a highway, described the event as similar to the rumblings caused by a large semi-truck driving nearby, while another on Front Porch Forum likened her experience to a large boulder rolling towards her house. In each case, the startled residents described the sound as very loud and different from thunder, but no one at the time could explain exactly what caused the earthquake-like tremors.

After speaking with state geologist, Marjorie Gale, and confirming that there was no seismic activity on either of those days, she explained that in 1955, geologists mistakenly reported frost quakes in Burlington as minor earthquakes in the state's earthquake catalog, and that local frost quakes could have caused the mysterious rumblings in Shelburne. However, given their relative infrequency and generally minor effects, the Vermont Geological Survey does not track frost quakes. As a result, there is little historical scientific data regarding the geographic locations, cause, or frequency of frost quakes in the state.

Comment: This is what cryoseisms or frost quakes sound like, nothing like "the rumblings caused by a large semi-truck driving nearby."

Given that meteor fireball activity is increasing dramatically, isn't it far more likely these folks are hearing overhead meteor explosions? See also:

Question

New Jersey residents plagued by mysterious loud booming sounds

Friday night was far from the first nervous one for residents of Fair Lawn, New Jersey, who have been plagued by loud booming sounds for about a week.

As CBS2's Dave Carlin reported, the source of the nuisance is a mystery.

"We were, like, looking at each other like, 'What was that?'" said Danielle McManus.

It happened twice in the past week to McManus and her family. While inside their home in a usually very quiet Fair Lawn neighborhood, things went bump in the night.

"If we didn't know any better, it almost sounds like a cannon," McManus said, "It was so deep and just like, echoey."

Elsewhere in the neighborhood along the Passaic River, residents say they have heard loud booms as early as 6 p.m. and as late as 2 a.m..

"It was, 'Pssh, pssh, pssh,'" one young boy said.

"I was like, 'Grr! Grr! Brr!' like that," another said.

"I heard the noise, so I came out here," added Susan Kuqi of Fair Lawn. 'Sometimes, you know, people dump garbage. It sounded like a garbage truck."

Comment: Last year mysterious earth-shaking booms also rattled residents in New Jersey, and elsewhere across the US. These strange sounds often remain unexplained by the authorities.

As meteor fireball and seismic activity have increased dramatically in recent years, we suspect that a number of these booms can be attributed to overhead meteor explosions or are earthquake-related. See also:

In the last couple of weeks, Dutch citizens have reported hearing strange sounds in the sky. Martijn Mastenbroek from Pijnacker, a town in the Dutch province of South Holland, was at home on the evening of January 10th when he suddenly heard a peculiar sound.

"It sounded like trumpets," he recalls. "It lasted about five seconds. No, it wasn't coming from the washer. It really came from outside. My girlfriend heard it too."

Residents in other towns (Bleiswijk, Moordrecht, Lichtenvoorde and Beek) and cities (Gouda, Almere and Heerlen) reported on social media that they also heard these strange trumpet-like sounds. One resident from Gouda was able to record the sound with a camera (see below). Another video of the sound was posted on Facebook by user 'Jeff Afca', who was in Almere at the time.

Stockholm, Sweden surprised by rare blue, yellow light pillars


The Local - Sweden

Photos of rare blue and yellow light pillars snapped by Stockholmer Raitis Freimanis have gone viral in Sweden

When Raitis Freimanis, 54, got up early on Wednesday morning in Bromma, Stockholm, he discovered something unusual outside his window. Several tall columns were shining up from the ground, radiating yellow and blue light.

"I was thinking what the hell is this? At first I thought it was a floodlight or something, I thought to myself, why would they put up a floodlight at 5am?" Freimanis told The Local on Thursday.

The Stockholmer said he had been woken by the family's cat and had decided to go and feed the animal. And after seeing the magnificent strange pillars, he ended up getting his son and wife out of bed to see them too, in case they didn't appear again.

Together the family researched what they had seen. They believe that the lights were an optical phenomenon caused by the reflection of bright lights from Stockholm city centre, by tiny ice crystals, hovering in the air.

"It was -13C here in Stockholm and windless, and there were ice crystals in the air," Freimanis explained, adding that it was hard to judge the height of the pillars. The fact that the lights were yellow and blue - the colours of the Swedish flag - appears to have been a coincidence.
