The Skyquake Phenomenon

Mysterious booming noises in the sky leave many scratching their heads

Earlier today my mother mentioned hearing something particularly strange on the local news. “They were saying something about booming noises coming from the sky, I think,” she recalled. This obviously excited me because I instantly knew exactly what she was referring to- the skyquakes

I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time fixed to my laptop going through video after video of these mysterious noises that seem to emanate from the sky. So as you can imagine, I was geeking out. “Like skyquakes?”, I asked, spinning around to face her with such enthusiasm that I almost fell out of my chair. If you knew my mother you wouldn’t even question her about skyquakes. Of course she’s never heard of them. I knew this but couldn’t pass up the opportunity to rave on about them for a few minutes while she tried to follow my narrative. She looked like a deer in headlights.

I live in North Carolina and loud booming noises occurring either late at night or in the early morning hours are being reported in Wake county, a county located within about 10–15 minutes from my own county. Mysterious booming noises have been occurring frequently since the end of January. As of now, nearly a month later, complaints still continue to pour in from residents and possible theories as to the origin of the noises are abound.

If you’re unaware of this worldwide phenomena of mysterious booming noises known as skyquakes, be warned. You’re about to get the same fanatical explanation as my mother did earlier today. If you have in fact heard of skyquakes and find yourself continuing to read, you’re likely someone just as interested in them as I am. If you’re of that variety- welcome. You are (maybe unfortunately) my type of person.

Answering the question “What are skyquakes” is a pretty loaded question because that’s what this is all about- nobody really knows for sure. To demonstrate how mysterious of a concept this phenomena is, I’m going to include the local news story my mother saw which started this whole conversation below.
