Have you ever wondered what would happen when the world ends? Have you ever experienced an incident that seemed like the earth was about to tremble and fall apart? We must all have our own variations and ideas of how this earth that we live in would end. There are several movies that have given us an explicit idea of how the world would come to an end. All in all, it would definitely be a scary experience with destruction and chaos everywhere. So, in the city of Denver, something akin to this situation took place, so what happened?
There comes a time where the world seems like it wants to give up and stop going further. We must have all experienced epic thunderstorms and raging thunder sounds that can really get freaky. And also, over the recent years that have passed, people all over the globe have claimed to be exposed to weird “boom-like” sounds that have originated from the sky.
These kinds of loud sounds have been coming from the skies a lot lately. And even though there are some who have been able to give quite a reasonable explanation, there are is so much that is left a mystery that no one can understand. Could it have been caused by aliens or maybe by angels? Could this be the final judgment? In Denver, Colorado, the locals would soon find out…
There had been various places that talked about the strange sounds that had come from the sky. It had been taking place all over the globe. And so at about 9:00 PM, on a Monday night, something had happened in Denver, Colorado. What happened then? Well, there was an extremely strange and traumatic sound that woke up every living being in the city.
For such a loud noise to take place in the silent of the night, it obviously made a lot of the locals concerned. It was not just clear in one particular street, the sound could be heard all over the town. And this was not like any sound they had ever heard. This loud boom-like phenomenon was heard by the whole city. What was the source of this sound that left so many people shaken awake with fear?
This sound was something that would terrify anyone with perfectly working ears. The sound was so loud, clear and strange that it left so many scratching their heads. And it had not just affected this particular area. It was heard from United States and even in Australia. And there were reports of about 64 incidents where this strange “booming” took place all over the earth.
Since this was such a strange incident, there were so many people who desperately wanted to get to the bottom of it. Many people wanted to know what had woken them up and with such a loud blast. And pretty soon the theories about the source of the weird sounds started coming up. But no one had a clear cut explanation of what it was. So then what was the reason?
So where did this weird sound start off in the first place? Well, the strange bursts were first reported to have happened back on January 3, 2017. And where was it initially recorded? These sounds first came into attention in Connecticut. And ever since this incident took place, there have been several places that have reported the same mysterious noises waking the locals too.
And since these noises are unlike anything anyone had ever heard, it even left experts very puzzled. And there have also been reports that the sounds confused most scientists and meteorologists too. This was because they could not easily find a reason or the cause for them. Could it have happened due to a meteor shower? What was to blame?
The mysterious sounds have caught the attention of so many people. And among the experts who have decided to crack the reason for it was CBS meteorologist, Chris Spears. He had quite the logical explanation for the haunting sounds. He proposed a theory which involved a Leonid meteor shower that must have had a part in creating the loud sounds.
His explanation was one of the more sensible ones that did not seem to far fetched. In his theory, he claims that the meteor shower happened when Earth passes through the debris trail of the Temple-Tuttle comet. But where had been the actual cause of the sounds? Could there be a possibility that as the debris entered the Earth’s atmosphere, the boom-like sounds happened?
There was yet another theory that most could agree with. After spending some time doing extensive research and collaborating with astronomy expert, Ron Hranac, it had been finally proved that these Leonid meteors would not have been able to make the loud sounds due to the fact that most of them were just the size of a pea. Very tiny in fact...
And also, since a majority of this debris burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere, there would not have been any left to be able to have such a big impact on the whole of the earth. All these theories had now been discredited and once again, there was not a single explanation for the weird bursts. What could have caused the residents of Denver, Colorado to wake up in fear that night then?
Although there had been many incidents similar to this, the incident in Colorado was a more recent happening. Even though many of these had occurred, there was still so much hiding behind these mystery booms. Since it had taken place all over, it did not take long before more people got involved in tracking down the source. It took place on November 21, 2017, at 9:00 PM in Denver.
So how did these loud noises actually sound like? Well, from what the locals had explained, the sounds were similar to that of a super-sonic boom that was able to rattle throughout the whole city. It ended up with shaken windows and rattled walls too. Since it had shaken up all of the residents and their houses, it resulted with a majority of the people frantically panicking.
For some, these sounds had left a vibration so strong that it almost physically threw them off their beds. A Denver local was questioned to which she recalled hearing the multiple booms that nearly threw her out of her own bed. The force coming from the sound was that powerful. So, you cannot actually blame them for freaking out a bit.
This local was left shaken and scared as it was unlike anything she had ever experienced. She had never felt a force like this nor a sound like ii ever in her life. “The sounds were loud and powerful. I could feel each pulse inside my chest. It was terrifying!” she described, speaking about how terrifying it was to have gone through the experience.
There were so many who had been forcefully awakened by the sheer force of the sounds. Many people revealed their account about the chilling evening that left so many shocked and scared. There was one other resident that revealed to the media that her family had been awoken by the sound of their windows shattering.
Their whole house had been shaken by the sounds of the skies. It was like something straight out of a movie. It obviously left them scared and looking for an answer. There was so much power in every single boom that it left the glass on the windows broken and cracked. The sounds left a pile of shattered glass all over their home. It was a complete mess...
As it grabbed so much attention, there were still many who were not satisfied with just getting confused. They wanted to know exactly why these sounds had occurred, and their reason for ever happening in the first place. So much was still left a mystery regarding the Denver booms. But soon new evidence was presented leaving the residents a very unfortunate news.
The people living in Denver had not been able to function and go about their usual routines since the mystery of the loud sounds had still not been solved. They had looked all over for any clue to clarify their doubt. But soon, there was a possible explanation. However, it was unlike anything they had hoped for. In fact, this could have occurred due to a small industrial accident.
There was a new evidence that could hopefully open the eyes of the locals a little bit more and have more clarification. The representatives of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission gave out a report that in the evening of the incident, there was an empty storage tank that suffered due to a malfunction. The pressure in the tank grew more and more as the night went on. Then it happened...
And so as the night went on, the pressure inside the tank turned out to be too much. it then resulted in the lid of the tank completely blowing off. This was probably the sound, the loud booms that the locals staying in Denver heard that terrifying evening. This was not all, there was yet another explanation that made complete sense to this particular theory.
So what was the additional information that made this explanation make more sense? Well, it was revealed later that the oil and tank company were the owners of the tank filed a report that spoke about the covers of the tank being compromised. So, this made it a very believable reasoning behind what the people had heard that night. But one key factor was still a huge mystery...
So there was another big question. The sounds that would have come from the tank lids would have made a solid “boom” or two. But in that evening, this was not what happened. The residents have confirmed that the strange sounds happened various times, that it was not just a one-time thing. And as time went on, some other theories began to spring up too...
One other plausible explanation came out soon. This other theory that attempted to explain where the sounds that evening in Colorado came from. The sounds were allegedly caused by military jets that had broken the sound barrier. This theory was quite logical as jets do tend to break the sound barrier, creating shock waves that are similar to explosions. Could this be true?
This was yet another theory that was debunked. The nearest area where the sounds could originate from was the Buckley Air Force Base but the base gave a reason to disprove the theory. They confirmed that none of their jets were out after 8:00 PM that evening. There was no way these loud booms could have come from there. Was it possible that these booms all over were caused by various different reasons?
There was one more reasoning that made some sense. It was that these sounds were caused by supersonic flight. One incident happened in Central Florida that was a result of a returning NASA mission to the Kennedy Space Center. This is another explanation for what happened that night in Colorado. Something of this nature must have happened that evening.
Chris Spears was not done with his own research regarding the mysterious sounds in Denver. He was still looking for answers. He then questioned if an earthquake could have been the culprit that night. But sadly, the United States Geological Survey dismissed this theory right away because the only sound that came from the Rocky Mountain Arsenal happened to be from a train.
The people in Denver were still left unsure of what made the sounds that night. But as days passed on, they began to collect some more information. One person claimed to have seen a fireball in the sky the night the loud sounds came from the sky. However, this could not have been the reason as the timing of when he spotted the fireball happened two and a half hours after there were reports about the mysterious sounds.
There were various reasons that seemed meaningful but were ultimately disproved. Even though the tank theory seemed likely to have caused the sounds in Denver, there is no chance that the other incidents all over the world could have been caused because of tank explosions. Well, maybe these happenings were not related at all. Or could it have happened due to an otherworldly reason...
This is called the “Bama Boom,” where odd sounds rocked the locals all over the state that night in 2017. The sound was so haunting that it lead to the whole community to panic. The National Weather Service in Birmingham had also reported that there was not a single sign of fire or smoke nor was any earthquake detected. The reason for the sounds still remains a mystery.
In the previous year, there was an incident in South Australia that made everyone wake up on a starry night sky. These booming sound took place for just a few minutes but the force was enough to break windows and leave the houses shaking. And obviously, the National Weather Service that showed that there was no indication that an earthquake took place.
Also, all the way back in 2016, weird noises had been recorded that allegedly came from skies of the Middle East from Iran all the way to Egypt. There were several people who had managed to record these sounds on their phones. These videos are in fact quite chilling. However, is there was a chance that the reason for these could not be born from logic and reason?
There is yet another explanation regarding the sounds that were bursting that night in Denver. It is a religious attempt to explain what happened and refer to the book of Revelation. There are some who believe that this was a sign that the world is coming to an end that Jesus will soon rapture Christians to Heaven and reign down hell on Earth. We hope this does not happen yet as it would be such a doom too many.
There is a chance that we may never get to know about the real reason why those odd sounds blasted that night in Colorado. Even if someone has the answer, they are keeping their mouths shut about this whole situation. This applies to the other booms all over the world as well. All these theories could be wrong as it could have just been aliens howling all along...
