Strange sounds heard across Waterloo County
Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2006 4:44 pm
I could not find a news story on this... yet. But, my mom heard on the noon news on the radio station about it.
Okay, last night around 10pm I was at my friends house on the 9th floor of an apartment building in northwest Waterloo. The thunderstorms had just passed, but there was still distant thunder rolling in. All of the sudden I heard over the music a loud bang sound... then another... then another. We turned off the music, and stepped on the balcony and this bang sound just kept going on. We started counting the distance between the sounds, and they were 5 seconds exact apart, and only about 1 second each. They were extremely loud, other people were on their balconies too looking to see anything.
We went back in, just before my friends uncle got home. He came in and ran to the balcony and said about 10 minutes ago when he started home from south central Waterloo that he could hear bang noises, and they were stil going at this point. He said he could hear them inside the car and it didn't change volume level from Uptown Waterloo to his apartment. He was the one who pointed out they didn't last anymore than a second, or that they had no echo.
Suddenly these sounds just stopped, and with it the rain, wind, thunder and lightning. It was so wierd. Her uncle even said "I can't guarantee you it's not the end of the world". We were a little edgy.
Okay, my mom just got home now, and asked me if I heard anything strange last night. I said "do you mean those bang sounds last night?". She said yes, and could I hear them too. I told her about what I heard, and she said that they could hear them when they were getting ready for bed, so they went out front to check it out. Other neighbours were standing outside talking about them, and she said it was loud too but had no echo. She looked a little worried to me, she said it might be something above us. Meaning, religious stuff.
Anyways, she heard on the radio today that last night between 10 and 11pm 911 dispatchers received over 100 calls on the sounds, and they couldn't answer any questions because they didn't know themselves. I'm waiting for the 6pm news to come on, maybe they will have a story on the sounds. 911 received calls from as far north as 20kms from here.
It was really wierd, I can't even describe them. They weren't explosions, and they were coming from farmland. No gun shots either, they were too loud. It was just really wierd how the volume of them didn't change even if you were moving closer to them from a distance.
