Hi Jenny - not sure about the East-West building angle - is there a correlation you're suggesting here? In my case, my house is aligned along a
northeast-southwest direction and the rattling was fairly uniform across all exterior walls regardless of their respective orthogonal orientation - it
came more like a wave from above than from the ground below or from any one compass direction.
Here's a cross post, for the benefit of all that may shed additional light on the matter. Very interesting reading in the newspaper posts - note the
commonality in the descriptions. Some intriguing theories as well:
There are now over 525 posts on the newspaper site from individuals commenting on their experiences with this phenomenon, theories, analysis,
explanation, and links to related information. There is way too much to re-post here, but it may be worthwhile to provide
the link to the original article and blog about
this event so ATS researchers and enthusiasts may peruse the latest. Surreptitiously, the reporter renamed the original article "Boom from
jet likely caused mysterious shaking...", but doing so has done little to quiet the controversy.
What I find most interesting is the consistency in the accounts of so many people from widely different cultures, locations, communities, and
circumstances all relating nearly identical experiences: the rattling of windows and doors with no earth movement or loud boom, the dogs and other
animals clearly anticipating and reacting to the unusual event, the headaches of those that were in the area at the time of the event, the inescapable
feeling of intrusion, and on and on.
The follow-up article by the
newspaper, interestingly named an "X-File" by the paper and journalists also is building a large contingent of posters that are eager for
answers - and so far are not satisfied by the explanations proposed.
Several other local and regional news and television stations hopped on the bandwagon, sending chummy
reporters to the field to video interview the 'common man and woman in the street',
doing a bit of UFO-snickering (par for the course), and speaking with police and other authorities about the hundreds who called 911 reporting that
the shaking "felt like someone was walking on their roof" or "trying to break into their house".
Others around the country and the world have chimed in as well with similar experiences, though much of it may be a bit of "herding mentality".
The mystery remains, though the majority of news reports and lay consensus remains with some large, secret black ops type aircraft operation as the
culprit. As we all know, this would be a convenient explanation, and just as likely true, but certainly would preclude any further definitive we
'citizens' can sink our teeth into. The gubmint's policy of "Plausible Denial" has worked for decades - no reason to expect any change now just
because a few folks had their cages rattled a bit...
