    They have actually been happening for a lot longer than that. People may simply never have noticed them before. Usually what happens is that a factory or something distant or close does something and the sounds and vibrations literally go around the world. Even an earthquake can make the Earth ring for months on end. Now imagine things that humans do, such as drilling into rock, blasting, fracking (which does cause earthquakes), explosions, factories and industrial works, etc.. Like the people in Canada, the noise suddenly started and only a few could hear it and then several years later, they realised it was a factory in the US that was causing those noises and vibrations. As more and more factories are being built around the world, more and more people will start to hear sounds and sometimes even feel vibrations from those sounds.

    The sounds Auroras make are these chirps, clicking, flute noises and weird sounds. The Earth is noisy and the sounds, I must say, are not always pleasant. But they are pretty cool.

    There are sounds recorded in the ocean that they still haven't identified yet. Even icebergs in Antarctica can be heard thousands of kilometers away.

    It is normal (except for what humans do, of course), and sometimes pretty cool - if you don't have to put up with it 24/7.

    [QUOTE]I think people forget that the Earth itself does generate sound. I think they only just round out why the Earth constantly hums. [/QUOTE]

    People seem to also forget that there are moving plates underground that are constantly causing friction on each other as they pass over and under each other. Those could also be generating low humming sounds for they move very slow. I have not seen any reports about this kind of phenomenon before and hope one day they might look into it.

    Here's a page full of actual youtube recordings, including some fake ones, as well as numerous explanations. Some correlate it to recent solar flare activity.

    The best ones are when you read the Christian fundamentalist sites who discuss those sounds and those who believe it is the coming apocalypse and the flute like sounds from auroras make them believe it is the trumpets of angels from heaven. Makes for hysterical reading.

    It would be funny if it wasn't so depressing that people like that are still around. It's supposed to be the 21st Century, not the 12th.

    These are just plain weird. Evidently there are unknown very fast creatures that hate churned up sea water:

    Not all that weird at all...
    The first seems to be the shadow of a helicopter.
    The second is clearly a gas tank ejecting gas as it goes past the house.
    The third... could be anything from a bird, a helicopter (depending on distance from camera) etc. It looks odd, but that doesn't mean "evidently there are unknown very fast creatures..." as you claim.

    Right..a bird or a helicopter with a noticeable trail behind it. Uh no..And I can't make out that gas tank anywhere. Perhaps you can point it out since you're claiming it's clearly there.

    Another crummy video claiming things that just cannot be made out or distinguished very well. This is like every type of claim, the pictures are either photo shopped or very crummy like these are.

    All of those vids have been debunked to hell and back.

    I'd go with -
    1) Land animal running away as fast as he can (coyote etc)
    2) Gas line blowing out
    3) Helicopter that got too close to the flood (as several did)

    We trust what pilots do and say. We regularly put our own lives in their competent hands. Here's some eyewitness accounts by pilots of ufos/strange aerial phenomena. It's hard to explain these things away. Obviously they saw what they say they saw. Why risk their careers coming forward about it otherwise?

    "People love to ask pilots questions. But my favorite, and certainly the most interesting, is "Have you ever seen a UFO while flying?"

    The answer is yes. And here's how it happened.

    It was April 10, 1989 and early in my career. I was still a first officer at a regional airline. It was about 8 p.m. and we had just taken off from Kansas City International Airport bound for Waterloo, Iowa. It was a beautiful evening, with a full moon, clear skies and crisp early spring temperatures. The weather forecast for Waterloo was as nice, with clear skies and unlimited visibility.

    After a short taxi and take-off, Air Traffic Control (ATC) cleared us to our cruise altitude of 15,000 feet. We established a Northeasterly heading, pointed strait at Waterloo, about 200 miles ahead. There were thin wispy clouds all around us, illuminated by the light of the full moon that shone through the captain's-side window at our left. Despite the presence of these clearly visible wispy clouds everywhere, we weren't flying through any of them. There was also a white disc dimly but clearly visible through those clouds just off to our right.

    We flew on and I commented to Bruce, the captain, about this dimly visible disc. He said that he'd been watching the same thing since we had leveled off. It looked similar to the moon faintly visible though thin fog, except the two were visible at the same time on opposite sides of our cockpit. We looked down below for search lights, you know, the kind that's sometimes used for aerial light displays or advertising at a car dealer, but there was no beam of light coming from the ground, no search light from an airport either. The captain and I had cumulatively spent many years flying and were accustomed to seeing — day and night — all manner of airplane, blimp, hot air balloon, satellite and bird. But neither of us had any idea what this disc could be.

    We spent 20 to 30 minutes at our cruise altitude, all the while staring at this white disc dimly visible through some clouds that we somehow never seemed to fly through. Within about 40 miles of Waterloo, ATC confirmed the weather, still clear skies and unrestricted visibility at our destination as we began to descend. We got busy with our flying duties and for a short while, maybe for a minute, both of us had looked away from the disc, but when I looked up at it again I saw something that has been burned into my memory.

    I yelled to Bruce, "Holy s--t." He immediately looked over from what he was doing. Above the clouds, where the white disc had been, was a now giant red ball. It was big and bright and just sat there above the clouds. It wasn't intense enough to illuminate us with a red glow but it was still plenty bright. We sat there in stunned silence. We obviously didn't want to hit it but quickly saw that it was flying parallel to our course. We weren't on a collision course and we also weren't gaining on it. Time became a blur as we continued our descent, this giant, red ball holding its course.

    We slowly lost altitude and at around 13,000 feet, the brightly glowing ball began a gradual descent, too. As it did, it slowly started disappearing behind those wispy clouds. In about 30 seconds, like a setting sun but not nearly as bright, it vanished behind the clouds. The instant it fully disappeared, hundreds of lights began flashing from within the clouds.

    As I looked on in disbelief, the flashing lights were brighter than ever and I could see that the section of the cloud that the glowing red ball had descended behind was starting to stretch apart like a piece of "Silly Putty," two halves being pulled slowly apart with the middle getting thinner and thinner. This continued until the halves grew so thin that it tore apart and, pop! Everything was gone. The dimly lit disc, the flashing lights, the thin wispy clouds that we had with us for the last 40 minutes; all of it, gone. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. Only the full moon remained off to our left.

    Bruce and I just looked at each other. "Oh my God, what the f--k was that", was all I could muster. My colleague just stared out the windscreen, mesmerized. We discussed whether we should report what we had just witnessed. After a few minutes, I picked up the radio mic and asked the Kansas City Center controller if they had anything on radar. "Nope, nothing but you," came the response. "No, not right now but a couple minutes ago, at our one to two o'clock," I replied. "No," he repeated, "It's a slow night. I've got the entire sector between Kansas City and Waterloo and you're all that's been in it for the last hour." Bruce and I again just looked at each other, completely dumbfounded. "So for the last say 40 minutes or so you've had no traffic at all, not at our one or two o'clock?" I asked. "No sir, not at your one or two o'clock, not anywhere, you're all there is," he assured us."====http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/guest-column-pilots-ufos-article-1.2177099

    "On November 17, 1986, a Japanese crew of a JAL (Japan Airlines) cargo jumbo freighter aircraft witnessed three unidentified objects while flying over Alaska, USA. The Boeing 747 cargo plane cargo plane was on a routine flight from Paris to Tokyo cruising at 966 km/h (600MPH) at an altitude of 10 600 m (35,000 ft).


    The plane was heading towards Anchorage, Alaska to re-fuel when at 17:11 Captain Kenji Terauchi reported seeing three large objects 610 m (2000 ft) below, describing the largest as resembling a shelled walnut. Captain Terauchi further described the largest craft as twice the size of an aircraft carrier, after several minutes observing the objects the crew noticed the objects matched the same speed as freighter aircraft. The two smaller objects veered 305 m (1000 ft) in front of the craft so much so that the captain said he could feel the warmth of their glows. Military radar picked up the two objects trailing the JAL flight and the FAA requested military intervention which Captain Terauchi declined due to his knowledge of the Thomas Mantell Case, the military did not take any action however the objects stopped trailing JAL 1628 and the airline arrived safely in Anchorage at 18:20.

    Captain Terauchi cited in the official FAA report that the object was a UFO. However, for reasons unknown, the FAA did not pursue the case in depth
    The US Air Force KC 135 jet flying from Anchorage to Fairbanks saw the same object in January 1987 flying from Anchorage to Fairbanks, saying that the object was 12 m (40 ft) from his aircraft. The object then disappeared out of sight.

    Captain Terauchi lost his flying status for reporting the incident to the public, but 15 years later, the story was corroborated by John Callahan, retired Division Chief of the Accidents and Investigations Branch of the FAA. According to Callahan (see video below), his boss FAA administrator Admiral Donald D. Engen briefed members of President Reagan's Scientific Study Team, the FBI and the CIA in Washington, D.C. We know the details today because Callahan attended the secret meeting and saved all audio and video evidence of the event.


    Captain Terauchi cited in the official FAA report that the object was a UFO. In December 1986, Terauchi gave an interview to a Kyodo News journalists. JAL soon grounded him for talking to the press, and moved him to a desk job. He was only reinstated as a pilot years afterwards, and retired eventually in north Kanto, Japan.

    Kyodo News contacted Paul Steucke, the FAA public information officer in Anchorage on December 24, and received confirmation of the incident, followed by UPI on the 29th. The FAA's Alaskan Region consulted John Callahan, the FAA Division Chief of the Accidents and Investigations branch, as they wanted to know what to tell the media about the UFO.At the time John Calahan was unaware of any such incident, considering it a likely early flight of a stealth bomber, then in development. He asked the Alaskan Region to forward the relevant data to their technical center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where he and his superior played back the radar data and tied it in with the voice tapes by videotaping the concurrent playbacks.

    A day later at FAA headquarters they briefed Vice Admiral Donald D. Engen, who watched the whole video of over half an hour, and asked them not to talk to anybody until they were given the OK, and to prepare an encompassing presentation of the data for a group of government officials the next day.The meeting was attended by representatives of the FBI, CIA and President Reagan’s Scientific Study Team, among others.
    Upon completion of the presentation, all present were told that the incident was secret and that their meeting "never took place". According to Callahan, the officials considered the data to represent the first instance of recorded radar data on a UFO, and they took possession of all the presented data.John Callahan however managed to retain the original video, the pilot's report and the FAA's first report in his office. The forgotten target print-outs of the computer data were also rediscovered, from which all targets can be reproduced that were in the sky at the time.

    After a three month investigation, the FAA formally released their results at a press conference held on March 5, 1987. Here Paul Steucke retracted earlier FAA suggestions that their controllers confirmed a UFO, and ascribed it to a "split radar image" which appeared with unfortunate timing. He clarified that "the FAA [did] not have enough material to confirm that something was there", and though they were "accepting the descriptions by the crew" they were "unable to support what they saw".

    JAL Flight 1628 remains one of the best documented and most credible UFO cases of record."===http://www.educatinghumanity.com/2013/06/Pilot-UFO-Evidence-Proof.html

    Whatever. You've pretty much exhausted whatever credibility you thought you had, long ago.

    What does my credibility have to do with the quoted accounts?

    Interesting articles....

    I particularly find the following interesting.
