With all these 'strange noise' threads for the past 6 months, and a resurgence in popularity, I have been wondering "when is my chance to hear strange
noises". So it was about 3:15am this morning and I was going to the bathroom, away from the noise of the TV and woodstove, etc. I heard a strange
noise as well, a low continuous rumbling or growling... sort of like a jet but in the distance. Initially I thought maybe its too cold out for the
heat stoves to keep up with the heat-load, and the oil furnace kicked on the baseboard heaters and central air systems... But then I remembered the
day-time temperatures earlier today, mid 40s...
I stepped out my front door into 48 degree weather (at 3:15am in Massachusetts in the middle of January, mind you) for 4-5 minutes and concluded after
only 30-45 seconds that it was either a train in the distance or wind. The sound sort of increased and faded like wind does. Either that or the wind
was carrying the sound of the train passing, but since wind changes direction and velocity it will sound varied by my ear a few miles away anyways.
The noise sounded reminiscent of the low quality youtube videos I had seen months ago (though the more recent videos seem hoaxed to me, more like a
horror movie trailer). But nothing about the sound caused me to worry. The ATS community seems to be a worried and paranoid bunch in general.
Additionally this reminds me of the threads I was reading half a year ago about the skies being more deep blue and the sun being more golden in
yester-year; Basically that things were 'better' or at least 'more normal' (subjectively) in the past, and that things happening today are
unprecedented somehow.
See article.
I like to keep an open mind, and sometimes I am hopeful for an incredible event to happen to spice up my boring life, but alas I view myself as far
too analytical and logical. I am afraid I will have to put this 'strange noise' phenomenon into the same file along with chem-trails, orgonite,
psy-ops mind control, and haarp. *shrugs*
ETA: It was 48 degrees at 11pm - 12am... I just checked the outside thermometer at 3:42am and it is reading 50 degrees. This is nutty weather for
mid-january in central MA. Additionally I just went back outside at 3:57 and the moon is about 4 fingers above the treeline, 10 degrees if I had to
guess. Im using 4 fingers per hour at arms length sunset rate, general rule of thumb. The moon is late crescent though Im not sure the technical term,
its heading towards new moon. Through the moon light I can see that there is a fairly heavy and consistent cloud cover. We just came out of a cold
front 2 days ago, and the jet stream should be sweeping across and drawing high pressure more mild air up north along the east coast right about now.
This would equate to higher winds, especially at altitude. I just figured I would report what I saw, as I saw it, as an objective
observation.

ETA Again: The time is 4:07am, the moon is much less visible, though I can see many stars. The big dipper is almost directly overhead, but due north
if I had to pick a coordinate. While facing north the big dipper looks to be inverted. The moon is still about 4 fingers above the tree line,
approaching 5 fingers. (above treeline, so maybe 5-6 fingers above the horizon.) You have my general location, date and time stamps, and stellarium at
your disposal so you can verify my testimony. I still attribute many of the claims to either wind alone, or the wind carrying the noise of a passing
train or possible roadwork, even from a few miles out.
