but what are the chances
it may have been a lighting strike

"Powerful fireworks"?????

Who reaches that low and below rational reasoning to come up with a fleeting thought of 'powerful fireworks' and say that out loud and publicly?

Wow. Just who are these 'authorities' we turn to for help anyway?

I think if that was a possibility they would've reported these 'explosions' were heard during inclimate weather. So I am assuming the skies were clear or at least of lightning anyway.

Wow... mind blown.

Both trees that snapped in half were huge. Wish I lived in the area to inspect the tree damage first hand.

I would lean more towards high wind gusts and they were just weak and gave, I know they say it followed a boom....Wind and thunder

If it was some ultra sonic vibrating thingy, wouldn't there be more trees knocked down?

this booming thing is getting stranger and stranger!! no quakes were recorded but there was a boom that was big enough to shake houses. i just don't get it. the trees could have been weak and broke because of the shaking...... that's the only explanation i can think of for the trees. there would have been other evidence of something if they were hit by an object.

it's either fracking or the earth is cracking up. or.... fracking is making the earth crack up. whatever it is it can't be good.

It could be fracking but now that the 'booms' have escalated into 'explosions' I'm just not sure this noise is coming from below anymore.

And if this IS fracking, why aren't the frackers coming to surface to tell us that's what's going on? They're not fracking in secrecy or in the cloak of darkness. It's a legal operation so not sure why they're letting this go on unresolved (if that's what this is), ya know?

My husband & I started hearing booms in our area a few months ago. I've noticed that when some of them happen we lose our internet connection for a few seconds (at&t highspeed, phone service is never effected)

We live in a very rural area, so what we are hearing could be anything. But it has been odd.

OiO

Interesting! Where do you live?
If you're losing reception as a result of the booms you're hearing then I think it's pretty safe to rule out fracking, no?

I would love to witness what these booms sound like.
Thanks for posting

I have a feeling it is some sort of aircraft with cloaking technology. I remember when the concord used to fly, you could hear it come into the atmosphere. Suppose we will never know though.

did you look for burn marks? cut or saw-like indentations on the wood? funny smells? odd coloring on the broken parts of the branches? out of place rocks other strange material that might have actually hit the trees?

Are you talking to the video?

I think they have ruled out all weather related factors for that would've been the first and most sensible avenue to investigate.

Plus, high wind gusts would've knocked off a bunch of leaves, no? Plus, I think we think people (especially someone his age which looks to be 50-60) are so completely stupid that they cannot differentiate explosions or booms from thunder by now.

Someone needs to get over there ASAP and get photos of the snapped area of the trees, both parts. Don't let this evidence get away. Especially any evidence of something contacting the trees. Scratches, dents, cuts....

Umm, unless you already know what it is, carry on
