What Was That Noise...?

Here is an interesting little piece for Freaky Friday. Interesting if for no other reason than it was International. I found this info over at Listverse, of course.

The Jodhpur Boom



On December 18, 2012, a sudden, deafening boom startled the people of Jodhpur. It seemed to come out of nowhere, crashing in the sky like the sonic boom caused by an airplane breaking the speed of sound. However, it was more aggressive in nature, sounding a lot like a massive explosion. The citizens were concerned about the sound and asked around about it, but it soon turned out that no planes had been flying over the area and no explosions had taken place. The source of the “Jodhpur boom” was a complete mystery.

The weirdest part is that it appears that the entire month was littered with strange, unexplained booms all over the world, from United Kingdom to Texas. These bangs were witnessed over the course of several weeks and sometimes they were accompanied with strange green light. In one of the locations, a geologist even stated that the booms and subsequent tremors were unlike anything he had ever encountered and didn’t fit the official explanation that the Air Force were testing a new plane.

Were these strange sounds all over the world connected somehow? Was it some strange new weapon, or an alien attack, or maybe even a mere coincidence? Perhaps one day, we’ll find out.

I have no idea what the noise was, but I think maybe it's best that I never find out. Some things are best left alone.

Coffee on the patio one more time before the rain comes back.

Hi to Barney! Know what happened to our old friend Billy Bob? Like to hear that he's ok.

Bubba - I have never heard those noises or booms, but we'll probably never know what they were. Nice of you to bring them to our attention, though. I like these kind of posts.

Big hugs ~

Like you said, "some things are best left alone. Coffee outside sounds great to me. It's going to start raining here again later this morning.

Maybe some type of atmospheric disturbance?

Booms heard all over the world? Sounds like they were having some troubles with the inter-dimensional gates that month!

Rain just started up here once again. I'm ready for some dry and cooler weather.
