RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Government Investigating The Mysteriously Loud "Windsor Hum"?!

January 24, 2013 - CANADA - The federal government is committing $60,000 to help two universities investigate a mysterious humming vibration in Windsor, Ont.  The Windsor Hum has been the subject of much speculation for almost two years in the industrial city, which sits on the Detroit River across the U.S. border from the Motor City.

A seismographic study by Natural Resources Canada has identified Zug Island on the U.S. side of the river as the likely source of the noise pollution, but talks between Canadian and American authorities have failed to resolve the matter.

U.S. Steel re-opened a mill on Zug Island about the time the hum became bothersome to Windsor residents, but has not taken responsibility for the hum, which at times rattles homes.

Now the federal Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is stepping up with funding for an acoustic study in an effort to further pinpoint the source of the sound vibration.

Researchers from the University of Western Ontario and the University of Windsor will team up for the study. - Globe And Mail.

ALIEN INVASION: Sri Lanka Air Force on High Alert Over Mass UFO Sightings?!

December 14, 2012 - SRI LANKA - The Sri Lanka Air Force states that it is keeping a twenty four hour vigil regarding the unidentified lights that were witnessed in the skies over several parts of the country in the recent past.

SLAF Media Spokesperson Wing Commander Shiras Jalaldeen said that no unidentified airborne craft had been picked up on radar as yet.

Meanwhile, unidentified lights were witnessed in the skies over several parts of the country, on Monday as well.

An unidentified light was witnessed in the skies above Hambegamuwa in Thanamalwila at around 8.30 on Monday night.

Meanwhile, this unidentified light was captured on a mobile phone camera, in the eastern skies above Ambalanthota.

An unidentified light was also recorded on a mobile phone camera in the skies above Ihalayagoda in Gampaha.

What are these unidentified lights? If they are not UFOs, then who is responsible for informing the public as to what they are? - News Ist.

UFO SIGHTINGS: Alien Armada - Melbourne Man Films Strange Flying Objects Not Visible to the Naked Eye?!

November 22, 2012 - AUSTRALIA - A man from Melbourne has recently uploaded a video clip of his UFO sighting using an infrared camera. The film reveals an eerie show of lights not visible to the naked eye. The clip states in its introduction that the sighting was captured in Melbourne, Australia on November 11 (Sunday) around noon time. Asked for the particular location, the video uploader reveals he took the video at Moonee Ponds.

A panel of scientists concluded, on June 29, 1998, that science has badly neglected the study of Unidentified
Flying Objects (UFOs), despite numerous reports and considerable public interest. “It may be valuable to
carefully evaluate UFO reports to extract information about unusual phenomena currently unknown to
science," the experts, headed by Stanford University physicist Peter Sturrock, wrote in a report released
on Monday. This photo depicts a possible UFO sighting, as reported by the Journal of Scientific Exploration.

The clip is titled, "UFO - '''SKY ARMADA'' Fleet - Yes, '''SKY ARMADA''' - Daylight IR - Australia. 11.11" It says in the intro: "5 groups of 'objects' same direction approx 10 minutes apart." In describing his video clip, Lou says: "One of the most amazing sights I have ever recorded. Objects not visible to naked eye." "'Invasion' may be the wrong title, but that's what I felt. I hope they are benevolent." What the video shows is a strange formation of hovering lights, among others. The lights come in groups, without a particular motion pattern. At least one frame features countless lights moving rather slowly relative to the others. The sight brings to mind an 80s space game where the computer blasts the oncoming lights before it creates any damage.

One video commenter said: "(T)here's many more than 2 lights in this video:) I counted 32 of them and may have missed a couple along the way because most of them are moving so fast. Please watch the video carefully again...this guy is the real deal." "Ty Lou ... I film wild things daily also ... not the things you have but I am open to what you have seen," another viewer commented. UFOs in infrared: What can't the naked eyes see? It is understood this is not the first time Lou has fixed an infrared video camera in the skies. "When I first started, I use to get a few captures per week, then everday, now multiple captures in one day. Whatever 'they' are, there are lots of them - all over the world," he writes in the comments section. "Invisible" UFOs: What are these unidentified flying objects visible only in IR? - IBT.

ALIEN INVASION: Kelly-Hopkinsville Close Encounter - Did Extraterrestrials Attack a Kentucky Town?!

November 21, 2012 - UNITED STATES - A mysterious event back in 1955 inspired some of Hollywood's most famous movies, including E.T. and Poltergeist. The event? A Kentucky family claimed to have been visited by aliens from outer space. LEX 18's Adam Winer took a trip back the the scene of this alleged alien encounter for LEX 18's Mystery Monday. They said that for four hours, they fought off the aliens by shooting at them. Back in 1955, everyone thought the Sutton family was crazy.

The family claimed to have been visited by a flying saucer and creatures they described as small goblins. And the Sutton story has never wavered - even 55 years later. Geraldine Sutton Stith wasn't yet born when her father had the unexplained encounter. "They were keeping it hid from us if you want to know the truth about the whole thing," she said. It happened, her father Elmer Lucky Sutton one day explained to her, on the night of August 21, 1955. "The family actually battled with something for that long a period of time," said Stith. They battled for several hours. They ran to Hopkinsville to get help. Then they battled again until 5:15 in the morning.

"It was like a horror movie. These little suckers were like being shot and being hit and coming back," she said. Word spread like wildfire all over the area that a spaceship from Mars loaded with aliens had landed in the yard of the Sutton home on the northeast side of Kelly. Local historian William Turner was a teenager at the time, and says the story turned the town upside down. "The media descending upon Hopkinsville," said Turner. "The involvement the military via Fort Campbell. The participation by the state police." The story gripped the imagination of the country, says Turner. But is it true? Geraldine says of course it is. "These were quiet people that didn't want nobody messing in their business," she said. "And, something happened. Something visited them that night.' Police said there was no evidence the family had been drinking, and no evidence ever proved their story wrong either. - NBC Kentucky.

PROJECT BLUE BEAM: False Flag Alien Invasion - The Nobel Prize Winner and Economist Paul Krugman Argues AGAIN For Fake Aliens to Attack the Earth as a Solution to Fix the Global Economic Crisis?!

Economist Paul Krugman has a simple solution to America's economic woes: Prepare for an alien invasion. Arguing that the United States successfully ended the Great Depression with government spending, he provided an interesting idea about how to replicate that economic feat on Tuesday at the Take Back the American Dream conference in Washington, D.C.

Scene from the 1996 alien invasion movie, where extraterrestrials attack the Earth.

"If you actually look at what took us out of the Great Depression," the Princeton University professor said in an interview with Chris Hayes of MSNBC. "It was Europe's entry into World War II and the U.S. buildup that began in advance. So if we could get something that could cause the government to say, ‘Oh, never mind those budget things; let’s just spend and do a bunch of stuff.' So my fake threat from space aliens is the other route,” Krugman said before a laughing crowd. “I’ve been proposing that.”

The Princeton professor and New York Times columnist is a well-known fan of science fiction, which might explain his imaginative plan to spur an economic recovery.  Krugman has offered up his space alien proposal before. Last year he told CNN about a "Twilight Zone" episode in which "scientists fake an alien threat in order to achieve world peace." He told CNN, "Well, this time ... we need it in order to get some fiscal stimulus." - Huffington Post.

RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Mystery Sound in Upper Gwynedd, Puzzles Residents?!

Heidi Lucas says she is not sure when she started hearing the sounds. At first she would notice it at night, then quickly disregard it. Last June, Lucas says the noise struck her as becoming more invasive. So she started keeping records of when it was audible.  “It started to become persistent and consistent,” said Lucas, who lives in the 600 block of Park Road in the West Point Village, Her house is about three roads away from Merck & Co. Inc.’s West Point plant. On April 17, Lucas and her husband, Tim, appeared at the Upper Gwynedd Township Board of Commissioners workshop meeting to discuss the situation.

 Exiting the township building at 1 Parkside Place, Lucas said she noticed the same sound, which she described as a loud roar with a mechanical vibration. “The sound permeates the village,” she said. Lucas said the noise, which reminds her of a jet engine or a large power washing system, has led her to drive through the township several times during the night searching for the source. Following eight months of contact with state Rep. Kate Harper, R-63rd District, as well as individual meetings with township and Merck officials, Lucas called her appearance at the commissioners meeting a last resort. She struck a conciliatory tone with the elected officials, asking them to help find the source of the noise. “We’ve lived here for more than 30 years,” she said during the meeting. “We’ve had no need to complain about anything.”

According to Lucas, neighbors have expressed similar complaints during casual conversation. She said another told her in an e-mail that sound has been an annoyance for two years. “Two other people said ‘why bother saying anything at all,’” Lucas said last week. A municipal ordinance permits sounds not to exceed 65 decibels during the day and 60 decibels at night, according to township Manager Len Perrone. Multiple sound studies conducted by Merck at the intersection of West Point Pike at Jones Avenue — the location identified by the couple as the source of the sound — have delivered readings below the township’s decibel requirements, according to company spokesperson Colleen Lange. In May, the Board of Commissioners voted to approve a sound study of five locations in the township. The municipality’s sound engineer is currently collecting samples, according to Commissioner Jim Santi. He said the firm GAI Consultants will be paid $4,000 to complete the work. According to Santi, three of the locations will be on Merck property, one at the industrial park on Jones Avenue and one near residental properties on Park Avenue. No one has confirmed Merck’s manufacturing plant as the source of the sound, according to Lucas. “I would like for someone to try to help us work this out,” she said.  - TRO.

EXTRATERRESTRIAL & UFO MEMES: Project Bluebeam, Alien Invasion or False Flag Attack - Former MoD UFO Expert Warns of UFOs During the 2012 Olympics Games in London?!

One of the UK's top UFO experts has given his views on the likelihood of aliens suddenly appearing in our skies - and how the international community would respond.  Nick Pope, who has more than two decades under his belt at the Ministry of Defence, said mass summer events - like the Olympic Games in London - would be a prime time for crafts from otherworlds to present themselves to mankind.  He warned: 'With the summer of mass events we are all on high alert for terrorism. But we must also cast our eyes further afield and be prepared for even the most seemingly unfathomable.''  Pope's duties at the MoD included investigating reports of UFOs between 1991 and 1994, and says he began his research as a sceptic, before becoming convinced that the sightings raised important defence for national security and air safety issues.  He was particularly interested in cases where the witnesses were pilots, or where UFOs were tracked on radar, and said there were other believers among his former colleagues. 

He said: 'It has been a widely held belief in Ministry of Defence circles that "aliens" have been able to detect us for decades via TV and radio broadcasts.  'What once seemed like science fiction is steadily being realised by central governing bodies as distinctly real.  'If aliens have studied our psychology, they may choose to appear in our skies on a significant date – the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games is one date being widely circulated by conspiracy groups.  'The atomic bombs detonated in the 1940s, and the rocket technology since developed would unquestionably have alerted nearby alien civilisations to our existence.  'On their arrival it is difficult to say what they would do: explore, help or destroy. Our resources make us quite a special threat.' Hopefully, if aliens do come and introduce themselves to us, they come in a spirit of warmth, friendship and shared learning - but Pope said the government was also prepared for the worst scenarios.  He said: 'The government must - and has planned - for the worst-case scenario: alien attack and alien invasion.  'Space shuttles, lasers and directed-energy weapons are all committed via the Alien Invasion War Plan to defence against any alien ships in orbit.  'If UFOs came into our atmosphere, RAF jets such as the Eurofighter Typhoons, and missiles such as the Rapiers guarding the Olympic Games would be well equipped to enter the fray.  'And if the aliens landed, in an unprecedented move, I am in doubt that the entire Army would be join the fight.  'The TA and the Reserves would be called out and conscription potentially introduced. ' 

Speaking about the cultural impact of aliens since the first widely-reported cases in the 1940s, he said: 'It is interesting to note that we are all in some ways equipped to deal with alien invasion - games such as Resistance: Burning Skies on PlayStation Vita help acclimatise people to the reality of extraterrestrial life - and in particular that they might be hostile.  'It is a widely held belief that classified information about weapons and tactics useful in combating alien occupation are embedded into such gameplay.  'The primary flaw is our lack of knowledge - we are limited in the extent of what we know about the alien species.'  Pope's role in the government was once described as 'working on the the X-Files of the UK', and he has since published Sunday Times top ten non-fiction bestsellers, such as Open Skies, Closed Minds.  His final role at the MoD, held until 2006, was Directorate of Defence Security, and since leaving he has given lectures and TV interviews about his views on the existence of UFOs.   He added: 'Aliens may possess weapons or advanced technology we’ve no idea of. Aliens may have invisibility, a death ray, teleportation, force fields and other things we can't even guess at.  'Beyond this, unity is key, but as history dictates, this is not so easy.  'The logical course is to unite the world against the alien threat, combining our military strength and fighting under the United Nations. But some countries might not fight.  'We saw this type of treachery and cowardice in the Second World War. Though some brave people joined the Resistance, much of France accepted Nazi occupation.  'The final and perhaps biggest flaw is preparation. With the summer of mass events we are all on high alert for terrorism. But we must also cast our eyes further afield and be prepared for even the most seemingly unfathomable.' - Daily Mail.

RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Mysterious Booms and Violent Shaking Frightens Residents in West Michigan?!

People are buzzing over what could have possibly caused a loud boom and violent shaking last night and this morning throughout West Michigan. 

The reports came in from people in Calhoun, Branch and Kalamazoo Counties.  People from all over say they felt and heard it, but Newschannel Three has only heard of one case of actual damage happening during the same time.  John Nieuwenhuis, who lives in Oshtemo, says that he felt and heard the explosion, which shook his entire house.  "Where the two trees are parallel and something completely scrapped both trees off at the same height and laid them to the west," said Nieuwenhuis. 

Nieuwenhuis called the fire department but after extensively searching, they couldn't find the source of an explosion.    "I've never seen anything like this, we cut down trees, we log trees and what could have taken this down I have no idea," said Nieuwenhuis.  Newschannel Three tried to search into what might have caused the explosions but, it was a clear night and there was no earthquake activity reported anywhere in the Midwest.  Air Traffic Control in Kalamazoo says no planes were in the area that might have broken the sound barrier. - WWMT.

RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Mysterious Boom Shakes Buildings and Frighten Residents in Channel Islands?!

An investigation has been launched into the cause of a mysterious boom which shook buildings across the Channel Islands on Saturday afternoon. 

Hundreds of Islanders reported hearing a loud bang – similar to a sonic boom – at 1.04 pm.  The boom was so loud it rattled doors and windows from Gorey to St Ouen and even measured on the Island’s seismograph in St Aubin. 

But despite speculation that the noise was caused by a military jet travelling faster than the speed of sound, Jersey Airport has confirmed that no aircraft capable of causing such a noise was in the Island’s airspace at the time.  And Jersey Met Office has confirmed that it is unlikely that any meteorological phenomenon could have caused the noise. - TIJ.

RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Unexplained Sounds and Flashes Spark Rumors in Roslindale, Boston, Massachusetts?!

Roslindale may soon be called Roswell-lindale after a series of unexplained sounds and flashes of light were witnessed over the weekend. 

Both Friday and Sunday, around the same times, residents reported hearing "booms" in the area of Zeller Street near the Fallon Field.  Some residents said the sound wasn't consistent with the noises made by fireworks during a July 4 celebration.  The mysterious blasts were reportedly heard from Dorchester Fields to Jamaica Plain, but no one had an answer for the strange phenomenon.  Locals reported that police responded to the scene, but found nothing.  Todd Johnson, who has lived in Roslindale for the past year, said the sound startled him and his wife. "It wasn't like a gunshot, it was louder and deeper than that," said Johnson, who had his television on the first time he heard the strange noise. "It was like a cannon going off."  While others reported seeing a flash following the boom, Johnson said he only heard the loud noise, on both Friday and Sunday night around the same time.  "It's really weird; you'd think there would be some explanation or something," said Johnson. "With fireworks, there would be some smoke or the smell of sulfur -- but I don't think any of the neighbors heard anything about that kind of stuff." 

On UniversalHub.com, people living nearby joked about the boom being caused by characters from the TV show "Lost" going back to the island, or a possible real-life "Fringe" scenario unfolding in the Hub's backyard.  Residents in other parts of the country have experienced similar strange noises with no apparent cause in recent months.  In Wisconsin, people called police after they heard thunder-like "booms" and "bams" that officials could not immediately explain.  A 15-minute video on YouTube called "Mysterious Booms All Over U.S. Not Just Wisconsin Jolting People To The Bone," claims it's a conspiracy.  In the video, a person says they have been exploring strange sounds for the past two years, and reports of "loud, jolting booms" all around the country have increased. - Metro.

RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Canadians Make a Racket Over Mysterious 'Windsor Hum'?!

Last month, Bob Dechert, a senior aide to Canada's foreign minister, was dispatched to Detroit with an important diplomatic mission: To stop a highly annoying noise.  The so-called Windsor hum, described as a low-frequency rumbling sound, has rattled windows and knocked objects off shelves in this border community just across the Detroit River from the Motor City. Locals have said it sounds like a large diesel truck idling, a loud boom box or the bass vocals of Barry White.  Windsor residents have blamed the hum for causing illness, whipping dogs into frenzies, keeping cats housebound and sending goldfish to the surface in backyard ponds. Many have resorted to switching on their furnace fan all season to drown out the noise.  Even weirder, Americans can't seem to hear it. Canadians find that suspicious—especially since their research suggests the hum is coming from the Yankees' side—and accuse U.S. officials of staying silent over the noise.

"The government of Canada takes this issue seriously," Mr. Dechert said after his recent fact-finding trip, which included a visit to a heavily industrialized area on the American side of the river that some Canadian scientists believe is to blame for the hum.  Unexplained noises have tormented city dwellers for centuries. Residents west of Green Bay, Wis., have been trying to identify an occasional loud boom that they say sounds like a cannon blast—geologists have said earthquakes made the noise. Locals in upstate New York and other places have described similar episodes.  But few such cases have become international diplomatic incidents.  After three months of seismic studies conducted by Canada's natural resources department, scientists said the noise was likely coming from Zug Island, a nearly 600-acre man-made island on the Michigan side of the Detroit River. The coal-blackened industrial zone is dominated by steel mills, including facilities operated by U.S. Steel Corp. and others whose blast furnaces belch out steam and flames.  The area is off-limits to the general public and surrounded by wire fences, with the only access via a guarded gate. A spokeswoman for U.S. Steel didn't respond to requests for comment.  The sound has been plaguing Windsor residents on and off for two years. Last May, a particularly loud eruption shook Windsor resident David Robins as he watched the National Basketball Association playoffs. The room began to vibrate with a loud throbbing noise.  Mr. Robins hit mute, fearing he had gone overboard on volume. But the noise persisted. Stepping outside, Mr. Robins said he found the "entire neighborhood pulsating."  "To be honest, I was scared," he said.

Hundreds of other sleep-deprived locals have demanded action from politicians in Windsor and Ottawa.  Locals blamed earthquakes, local salt mines, an underground river and wind turbines in the past. But Canada's seismic study last summer narrowed the likely source down to approximately 250 acres in the vicinity of Zug Island.  American officials say they aren't so sure.  "It may not be actually emanating from Michigan," said Hansen Clarke, the U.S. Representative for the East Detroit congressional district that includes Zug.  Michael D. Bowdler, the mayor of River Rouge, Michigan, the municipality with authority over Zug, said his cash-strapped government doesn't have funds to investigate further. Mr. Bowdler suggests the city of Windsor pay for a survey that could isolate the noise to its exact location.  American officials contend there haven't been complaints on the U.S. side of the border. Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality looked last year at whether the companies at Zug started up any new machinery in the past two years that might be causing the noise and found nothing.  "The only place I am hearing noise from is Canada—from politicians complaining," Mr. Bowdler said.  Mr. Dechert, Canada's parliamentary secretary to the minister of foreign affairs, concedes the source may not be Zug Island, given there are a "number of operations" in the vicinity that could be responsible. But he wants his U.S. counterparts to investigate further to help quiet down the border ruckus.  "There is definitely something going on that's affecting people on the Canadian side of the river," he said.  Canadian diplomats formally raised the issue with the U.S. Department of State last September. They took up the cause again at a meeting on Thursday. A State Department spokesman declined to comment on the meeting.  "We do sympathize with the plight of those affected but, unfortunately, the federal government doesn't have regulatory authority over noise pollution," the spokesman said. 

Canadian authorities have also hoped the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency would investigate. But a spokesman for the EPA said it doesn't have the authority to assist.  If U.S. officials don't help find a solution, "there will be a lot of upset people," said Brian Masse, a Canadian New Democratic Party member of parliament, whose Windsor constituency sits across the river from Zug Island.  Studying the hum, much less its origin, is challenging. It is difficult to capture the mainly nocturnal sound on tape, since it doesn't hum all the time.  During a recent visit to Windsor by a Wall Street Journal reporter, Windsor resident Gary Grosse played several recordings he said came from the noise, which modulated from metallic grating to a pulsing beat.  On a visit to the area around Zug Island, a fainter version of similar sounds was audible. But Americans nearby said they still can't hear it.  Fishing under the shadow of some of the large mounds of coal that fringe Zug Island, Samson Jenkins says that in 20 trips here he has never heard a noise like that described in Windsor.  "And they say they can hear it all the way in Canada?" said the 45-year-old maintenance worker. "No way."  Nearby, an industrial chimney belched out a twist of sulfurous-smelling smoke. Mr. Jenkins joked the only noise pollution he has heard of late is Canadian singer Celine Dion.  In Windsor, nobody's laughing.  In January 2011, Sonya Skillings's nocturnal baby-feeding sessions were disturbed by what she said sounded like an underground subway beneath the house. Over a year on, it has become so loud sometimes she worries the windows will blow out.  "I just want to be in my rocking chair with my baby asleep on top of me," she said. But "all I can hear is 'vrump, vrump, vrump.' " - Wall Street Journal.

RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Mysterious Hum in Canada Coming From the United States?!

A mysterious humming sound that has drawn hundreds of complaints in Windsor, Canada, for more than a year is emanating from Michigan, testing has determined.

The low-frequency, rumbling noise dubbed the Windsor hum is coming from the area of Zug Island, an industrial site, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.  But officials in River Rogue, Mich., where Zug Island is located, have said they don't have the money to find the precise source of the noise.  "The government of Canada takes this issue seriously," Bob Dechert, a conservative member of Canadian Parliament, said in a news release. "It is important that we find a solution that works for the people of Windsor." 

Jim Bradley, Ontario's environment minister, said the ministry has received nearly 500 complaints about the noise, and about 22,000 residents took part in a telephone forum in February about the hum.  Bradley has sent letters to municipal, state and federal officials in the United States asking them to take action, while Dechert has met with representatives of the Great Lakes Commission, the Council of Great Lakes Industries, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments and the Regional Office of the International Joint Commission to discuss the hum.  Gary Gross said he's had his fill of the hum.  "I was in bed, it was about 2:30 a.m. and I could just hear this pulsing noise," he told CBC News. "I decided to get up. It disturbed my sleep and I couldn't get back to sleep."  - UPI.

RATTLE & HUM: Loud Boom Over Northern California and Nevada Thought to be From Meteor?!

People in Northern California and Nevada reported hearing a loud boom in the sky above the Sierra Sunday morning. The Tuolumne County sheriff's department said they are investigating the possibility that it might have been the physical impact of an overnight meteor shower. Some people in the Tahoe area said they saw what they believed to be a meteor just prior to the sound.

A picture of a very active Leonid meteor shower.

People who live in in Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County, Placer County, Tuolumne County, Amador County and Nevada County contacted our sister station in Sacramento. KCRA is reporting that they heard the sound just after 8:30 a.m.  A television station in Reno said they received similar calls from the city of Reno and as far away as Incline Village. Meteorologists in California and Nevada including our own Rob Mayeda said there were meteor showers Saturday night that could have still been going on Sunday morning. If the boom was a signal that an outer space rock made it way through the atmosphere, then there could be a rock or rocks now on Terra Firma. So far, no one has called authorities or television stations to report "a hit."

Mayeda said the meteor would likely be a bolide rock and that it likely burned up before getting to the ground. Every year the Earth passes through the orbit of a comet causing the Lyrid meteor shower. The results on a clear night is a meteor shower, which comes in the form of light streaks shooting across the night sky. The stars are actually debris from the comet as it enters the Earth's atmosphere. According to the International Meteor Organization, the Lyrid meteor shower peaked with a maximum between 20 and 30 meteors per hour. That is not the best of the year's meteor showers, but many observers said they were pleasantly surprised. There was also a reported meteor streak in the South Bay Sunday morning at 7:50 a.m. Don Hirschfeld said he was at the Capitol Flea market when he saw a brilliant green streak race across the San Jose sky in the northeast direction. Hirshfeld said it lasted just a few seconds, but caught bargain shoppers' attention. There was no boom in the San Jose event and the streak ended with burn up flashes. - NBC Bay Area.

RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Mysterious Sound Boomed Over San Diego?!

Moments after a mysterious sound was heard in San Diego, people started sending messages out via social media asking "what was it?" NBCSanDiego received a number of reports from residents of a shaking or a loud noise just before 9 a.m.

The U.S. Geological Survey has not reported a nearby earthquake. Officials at MCAS Miramar said the noise or vibration was not a sonic boom from their aircraft. Reports came in from different sections of the county including La Mesa, University City, Point Loma, Paradise Hills and La Jolla. Marielle Bravo-Saltzman of Carmel Valley posted to NBCSanDiego's Facebook page, "I felt a shake at 8:38, but no boom." Paul Prince of Pacific Beach sent a note to @nbcsandiego via Twitter "All my windows shook in the PB area..." San Diego State University Professor Emeritus Pat Abbott felt and heard it and stepped outside his home. “The only time you hear an earthquake is when you’re directly over the epicenter,” Abbott said. In his opinion, the sound was atmospheric.

Thunder and lightning were in the forecast Friday, but NBC 7 Meterologist Jodi Kodesh looked into it and said there weren't any storm cells near the area producing thunder and lightning at that time. When lightning strikes, the discharge of energy can be felt 5 to 10 miles away as a rumble or a boom, Kodesh said. The closest rumble of thunder at the time would have been north of Los Angeles. Sometimes, a military exercise known as chaff can cause a similar sound. Strips of metal foil dropped by an aircraft are used to temporarily hide an aircraft from radar detection. The National Weather Service couldn't confirm if the sound was a result of chaff and an MCAS Miramar official told us he was not aware of possible chaff in the area. - NBC San Diego.

RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Media and Authorities Tries Cover-Up Mysterious Noises in America and England as Sonic Booms From Jets!

A close observation of media reports on the mysterious sound phenomena that has been heard across the globe, seems to reveal a very deliberate pattern of plausible deniability. Given the fact that an absence of incontrovertible evidence is offered  to the public by the authorities, an attempt is being made to plausibly deny everything or excuse it away, with accessible and easily recognized "proof" such as a sonic boom from jets.

Here are two of the latest overt and subtle examples of this.

Midlands, England - UK Ministry of Defence Claims RAF Jets Rushing To Intercept Private Helicopter Caused Massive Boom That Shook Homes Across England!

Emergency services across swaths of England were inundated with calls from worried residents amid reports of a mysterious "loud bang" which turned out to be a sonic boom from two RAF Typhoon jets. Concerned locals across the Home Counties, Cotswolds, Wiltshire, Somerset and parts of the Midlands reported hearing the deafening noise shortly after 6pm on Thursday amid fears of a large explosion. But rather than anything sinister, it was a sonic boom caused by a pair of Royal Air Force Typhoon jets breaking the sound barrier, the Ministry of Defence said. The Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) crews were scrambled after a civilian helicopter emitted an emergency signal in the Oxford area. MoD sources said the "idiot" pilot, who has not been identified, had used a wrong frequency to emit the emergency signal that usually indicates an aircraft has either been hijacked or had "gone rogue". Fearing that a serious incident was unfolding, MoD officials gave the jets the green light to go "supersonic, which resulted in the sonic boom". - Telegraph.

It seems that the series of phenomena, involving a persistent and invasive vibration or noise, continues pervasively. Just what is it? Planetary tremors? Geological upheavals? Precursor to an imminent disaster? Motions and waves suggesting an imminent pole shift? Supernatural occurrences?  The latest case comes out of Oregon, where a fellow YouTube user, provided a recording of mysterious sounds propagating across her neighborhood.

"This is the 3rd morning in a row at roughly 3:00 am. The sound starts with a rumbling in the ground, and then the sound continues for roughly 30 minutes or so. Can not explain where it is coming from, it seems as if it is coming strait from the sky with not a single plane in sight. If anyone has anymore info. on this sound we are hearing, I would very much appreciate any explanation to what we are experiencing here in Oregon."

FALSE FLAG: The Orchestrated Gathering of Forces Towards World War III - The Thesis/Anti-Thesis & Synthesis of an Alien Invasion!

"What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we cant decipher." - Chuck Palahniuk.

The provocative rhetoric between the players on the orchestrated Middle East chessboard continues, as the serious threat of the growing conflict between America, Israel, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Russia and China, plunging the planet into a third world war escalates. This concrescence of release language around cataclysmic events, return of a messianic entity, extraterrestrial invasion/disclosure and a Golden Age is coalescing around the Hegelian dialectic of order out of chaos from false flag events like terrorism and world wars. A Israeli-Iranian war and a possible wider Middle East war would not only fulfill President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's fervent prayer for the return of the Hidden Imam, the Mahdi, but the implementation of the Magi's grand plan for a New World Order of the Ages.

We have already seen the manifestation of the previous World Wars, the Cold War and the 9/11 Attacks/War on Terrorism. Therefore it is not hard to envision the full realization of Werner Von Braun's warning about the last card, especially given the extraterrestrial narrative in our popular culture and considering the global wait for a planetary government lead by a returning Savior. Christianity awaits Christ, Islam expects the Imam Mahdi, Buddhism is waiting for the Maitreya Buddha, Hinduism anticipates the Kalki Avatar, the Jews are looking for their Messiah, the Mayans prophesied about the return of Quetzalcoatl, and so-called New Agers long to see their Cosmic Christ. In recent speeches, Ahmadinejad repeatedly prayed for the hasty return of the Mahdi, the messianic figure. Ahmadinejad even declared that he is willing to create the conditions necessary for the arrival of the Mahdi. He believes that his mission in life will be to play a vital role in ushering in the new age of the Mahdi, "...pave the path for the glorious reappearance of Imam Mahdi, may Allah hasten his reappearance..." Certainly, the following headlines, runs parallel with this path. In 2005, Ahmadinejad made a startling promise, indicating how the conditions would be created:

Iran's conservative new president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said Wednesday that Israel must be "wiped off the map" and that attacks by Palestinians would destroy it. - NY Times.

With fears that Iran is becoming a nuclear threat and developing powerful missiles, in pursuit of a war with Israel, America continues to signal its combative resistance and forceful stance against the Iranian regime. Just yesterday, it sent Iran a message of intent by dispatching two aircraft carriers to the Gulf region.

The US navy announced the arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln in the north Arabian Sea and the USS Enterprise, the world's longest naval vessel, in the Gulf of Aden. A senior official in President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government threatened in January unspecified action if American aircraft carriers returned to the Persian Gulf, saying: "We are not in the habit of warning more than once". - Telegraph.

The US has also given Iran a 'last chance' warning over shutting down its nuclear facility.

Iran must immediately close a large nuclear facility built underneath a mountain if it is to take what President Obama has called a "last chance" to resolve its escalating dispute with the West via diplomacy. Other "near term" concessions which must be met in the early stages of talks to avoid a potential military conflict, include the suspension of higher level uranium enrichment, and the surrender by Tehran of existing stockpiles of the fuel. - Independent.

Meanwhile, Russia is also massing troops on Iran's northern border, as it awaits for a western attack.

The Russian military anticipates that an attack will occur on Iran by the summer and has developed an action plan to move Russian troops through neighboring Georgia to stage in Armenia, which borders on the Islamic republic, according to informed Russian sources. Russian Security Council head Viktor Ozerov said that Russian General Military Headquarters has prepared an action plan in the event of an attack on Iran. - Business Insider.

It doesn't end there, Russia has also deployed a warship to patrol Syrian waters.

A Russian guided-missile destroyer that called in the Syrian port of Tartus last week left it to carry out unspecified tasks near the country’s shores, a military-diplomatic source said on Monday. The Smetlivy (“Sharp”) will stay in eastern Mediterranean until early May, the source said. He did not elaborate on the tasks set for the ship. The Russian Navy has repeatedly said that it wants its ships on constant patrol in the region, which is considered an area of responsibility of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany are some of the countries that have their military ships currently patrolling waters around Syria. - Ria Novosti.

The gathering of western forces could herald airstrikes on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's troops and ultimately spark a major conflict against Russia, China and Iran, who support the Alawite ruling elite. With Syria, seemingly unable to withdraw its forces and cease violence by the United Nations and Arab League brokered April 10 deadline, a military scenario seems to be the only option.

If that is not enough, a major problem is also developing along the Korean Peninsula, with  North Korea preparing for a third underground nuclear test and missile launch.

"North Korea is making clandestine preparations for a third nuclear test at Punggye-ri in North Hamkyong Province, where it conducted two nuclear tests in the past," the agency quoted an intelligence official as saying on condition of anonymity. Satellite images show the reclusive communist regime digging a new tunnel underground in the Punggye-ri nuclear test site in the country's northeast, where it conducted two previous nuclear tests, first in 2006 and then in 2009. - Ria Novosti.

North Korean space officials said Tuesday that all assembly and preparations for a planned satellite launch had been completed, denying it is cover for missile test... Space officials told reporters at a news conference in Pyongyang that the launch of the three-stage rocket is on schedule to happen sometime between April 12-16. - CBS News.

Of course, the dark horse in all of this mix is China and what cards they will play as oppose to or in agreement with either America or Russia. Recently, Major General Zhang Zhaozhong, a professor from the Chinese National Defense University, said that China would not hesitate to protect Iran, even if it would trigger a third World War.

In a speech given to the full session of the General Assembly of the United Nations on September 21, 1987, former President of the United States, Ronald Reagan contextualized how humanity could be united and end all wars, when faced with the prospects of an "alien threat".

WATCH: Reagan's speech on alien invasion.

Recently, a mainstream media outlet from Australia examined this scenario of an extraterrestrial attack on planet Earth, in furtherance of a propaganda campaign, already established in the public psyche through popular culture.

WATCH: Australia's Today Show interviews  Professor Paul Springer on  preparedness for alien invasion.

A grand plan is at work here. It seems that what we are looking at is, the final orchestration of the plans within the Hegelian Dialectic to bring forth  unprecedented chaos and to ultimately herald in under the guise of peace, the disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence as our saviors.

RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Clintonville Administrator Said That She Heard Large Exploding Boom Coming From Underground, And They Are Still Occurring?!

The town of Clintonville has recently been in the media spotlight due to a series of “mystery booms” that have been heard by hundreds of residents. According to Clintonville Administrator Lisa Kuss, the USGS officially ruled within 5 minutes that the loud booms were caused by earthquakes. However, some local residents have continued to show their skepticism in regards to this official explanation.

Kuss went on to claim that the booms, on a somewhat less intense basis, are still occurring, with residents continuing to phone the local police department in fear. Calls are still being received by the local police department about the strange booms. Lisa described the sounds in the neighborhood she was investigating with the following statement;

“I was standing on a cement sidewalk and heard a large exploding boom noise coming from underground and the earth definitely shook. It was more of a jolt where it shook the ground. The second night we were in our utility building in that neighborhood and it was incredibly loud, like a bang or explosion. The entire floor shook below you.”

This statement seems to signify an underground explosion as the culprit rather than an earthquake. Originally, 2 seismograph devices owned by the USGS were reported to have recorded the “quake” as it has been dubbed, however the booms are ongoing as openly admitted by the towns Administrator. Once a second large event happened in Clintonville, independent experts were brought in through a company named Iris (notice the Illuminati reference). 6 portable devises were in the area as well according to Kuss.
Kuss says;

“They call it a swarm, a series of earthquakes”.

Residents claim that this was no earthquake. It appears that Kuss could be shilling or covering up something sinister as she seems to appear to know much more than she is letting on. The residents of this once peaceful town have been left wondering why would this only happen in a small neighborhood or controlled area. The way that Kuss described the noises was interesting. She talks as if the booms slowly got more distant, almost as if it was a subterranean covert black operation or possible underground base and or tunnel construction activity. - The Intel Hub.

RATTLE & HUM: "The Sounds of the Apocalypse" - Mysterious Big Booms and Bright Flash Still Have Poconos Residents in Pennsylvania Buzzing?!

Was it a secret military exercise, the beginning of the Mayan prophesy or an alien invasion?  A loud boom, heard by Pocono residents and others throughout northeastern Pennsylvania the night of March 30, remains a mystery.  The boom, heard at about 10:10 p.m., shook cars and houses from Long Pond to Bushkill.  Pocono Record readers at the time speculated it was a tanker wreck on Interstates 80 or 380, a bunch of semi-trucks rolling down a quiet street or an exploding meth lab.  Some residents reported a bright flash in the sky that didn't appear to be lightning just before the blast.  But most readers agreed the sound was no routine thunder.

What it wasn't. 
One thing it probably wasn't was an earthquake.  The U.S. Geological Survey noted five reportable earthquakes worldwide between 10:02 and 10:22 p.m. The closest to the Poconos was a 1.6 magnitude quake in Seeley, Calif., more than 2,800 miles from northeastern Pennsylvania.  Ohio meteorologist and Pocono weather expert Ben Gelber said the sonic boom was probably due to thunderstorms.  "A similar boom was heard in Honesdale, which rules out a local explosion of some kind," he said. "Acoustic 'shock waves' triggered by a lightning flash trapped in a cold surface can be uncommonly and frighteningly loud."  Temperature readings that night were in the low 40s.  Thunder has been known to crack wood and shatter windows in extreme circumstances, according to Gelber. The sound waves are refracted or trapped in the lowest layers of the atmosphere just above us.  "The timing with storms present, a preceding flash and sonic boom reports separated by 45 miles fit with scattered thunderstorms along a warm front overrunning cold air near the ground," he said. 

Unlikely explanation.
An astronomer Gelber consulted said there was a remote chance that a fragmenting meteoroid could have been responsible for a sonic boom as it passed through a thicker atmosphere closer to the surface.  "This would be a rare situation, and almost certainly would have left some magnetized fragments locally for such a large explosion to occur, and simultaneously during a thunderstorm. However, this would likely not account for the sonic boom around Honesdale," Gelber said.  The Poconos are not alone in unexplained noises.  A small New England community has been beleaguered by mysterious blasts for more than 300 years, baffling scientists and residents, according to published accounts.  The town, Moodus, Conn., is about 30 miles outside of Hartford with a 2010 population of 1,413.  The Wangunk Indian tribe lived in the area during the middle and later parts of the second millennium. The town's name was derived from the Indian word meaning "place of noises."  For hundreds of years, residents spoke of unexplained underground thumps and thunders. They are reported to occur in a particular place about a mile deep and a few hundred yards wide.  The Wangunk tribe believed the booms were made by a spirit angered by the European colonists settling in the area. The settlers blamed the noises on the battle sounds of good and evil witches fighting for their puritanical souls.  Investigators have been unable to explain the noises, which could disappear for a decade at a time.  Geophysicists blamed "microquakes," which occur periodically, but that didn't really explain why they would make noises that sound like distant thunder or cannon fire. - Pocono Record.
