Strange Noises Heard Around The World Could Have Scientific Explanation

Dan Koelsch,

Earlier this week, we reported on a phenomenon sweeping the Internet in which strange noises were heard around the world. These roars/groans from the sky are a bit frightening, which may have contributed to videos of the occurance flooding YouTube (along with many hoaxes). While we considered the idea that the sounds were some kind of marketing ploy, we now have at least one scientific explanation that might resolve this issue. Find out after the jump.

I was surfing YouTube last night when I found the video below. It’s a news report from Canadian channel CTV that talks about the sounds.

The professor in the clip explains that the sounds are coming from the Aurora Borealis (aka the Northern Lights) causing electromagnetic noise within nearby environmental antennas. It sounds a bit like the Roswell weather ballon explanation to me, especially since these noises have not been heard before (at least not recently, since this is the first time the Internet has been up in arms about it). What do you think? Is this a good explanation?

  1. Heard something I have never heard before in the sky over St. Paul, Minnesota around 1:15 a.m. last night. It sounded like a strange roaring wind or something very large moving very fast in the sky. It only lasted a few seconds, but was intriguing enough and scary sounding enough that I began to search the web for answers. My girlfriend heard it too. We were both oddly terrified. We thought it might’ve been a meteor racing past…

  2. Do you think it may be tunnel drills being used to make emergency bunkers?  Similar sounds are heard when the drills are used.

  4. Heard the same sounds as everyone has been describing and the youtube videos in Calgary at 3:30-4:30 a.m. February 14th

  5. It was my penis banging the maple leaf tree, after chasing frosty up an ice covered hill with rollerblades, catching the fucker throwing hot piss on him screaming Jesus Christ as Santa and his elves tried to seduce me into a gang bang !

  7. has anyone recorded THESE sounds before? if not, then its not the same. aka 2012 changed something. 

  8. You’re using a computer. Until you give up the fruits of science, you should quit your hypocritical bashing

  9. gov. has so many machines some that we probably don’t know much about, I personally think they are manipulating those sounds!! eery!!!

  11. i heard these same sounds about 12 years ago very early in the morning  i thought maybe they were trains shunting cars or from the steel mill close to us but then the steel mill closed down and i heard them again after that to tell you the truth they it scared the living daylights outa me   then i heard them again a couple of weeks ago  tonight i found out they are being heard around the world  ok i have no amateur video to show but it is nice to know that I’m not crazy for those of you who haven’t heard them  your lucky!

  12. people like you annoy me, you prove your ignorant and have no self esteem or pride or you would not post such disgusting things. Wake up or should i say someone needs to tell your Mommy to restrict your internet access because you are not old enough or intelligent enough to be using the web at all. 

  13.  The US gov are the only ones foolish enough to “trade” alien tech for…our contribution, under the impression they would benefit technologically if they can back engineer the hardware.  They have 250 million “trade items”, and a great desire to advance technologically by any means necessary.  The rest of the world knows full well any race showing up thats willing to trade tech for ‘other items’ is “a deal with the devil” and smart enough to walk away from it.

  14. I’m from North Borneo (Sabah-Malaysia). Also heard that sound in end of February 2012 at at about 7-8pm. It sound like incoming big machines/war from the sky. I thought that I was the only heard but my wife said she also heard sonething like that while she was in the room. I was outside my house trying to figure out that scary-loud-war-like sound.  Sincerely, CB-Visionary

  15. I live near both an airport, and railroad,yet that was nothing like I have ever heard before in my life.
