What Are the Mysterious Booms?

“I heard the boom. It kind of woke me up. It was louder than anything I'd heard before.”

- Jack Hughes, D.V.M., Tipton County, Indiana

June 7, 2011  Albuquerque, New Mexico - After filing several 2011 Earthfiles reports about loud and mysterious booms in several states, I have received more emails about unusual and loud booms from California, Texas, Northeast Philadelphia, Indiana and Oklahoma.

Red dots are locations from White Rock, British Columbia, Canada (upper left circle) to Woodville and Crawfordville, Florida (lower right circle), where residents have heard “loud booms like a cannon” or “rolling, low thunder,” or a “low flying jet,” or “the first half of a lightening strike.” Recent unidentified, mysterious booms have been reported several times since December 2010 into May 2011, and the unexplained boom phenomenon goes back to reports in 1804.

1)  Subject: Booms Underground Date: May 27, 2011 To: Linda Moulton Howe <[email protected]>

My boyfriend lives near the border of Nevada and California. For three years we hear booms underground and we're in the middle of the desert with really nothing around..they happen mostly in the summer and sound and feel like a bomb going off underground. Try to get you longitude and latitude - but he lives off the old Spanish Trail highway about 10-12 miles up from the Hwy 160 turn off.

When Hollywood Wanted “A Strange Harvest”

TV Guide, May 24 - 30, 1980.
TV Guide, May 24 - 30, 1980.

Reprinted June 5, 2011  Albuquerque, New Mexico - Thirty-one years ago on May 25, 1980, my ninety minute TV documentary A Strange Harvest was first broadcast on the CBS Channel 7 KMGH-TV in Denver, Colorado. At the time, I was Director of Special Projects and produced documentaries and live studio programs about science and environmental issues. The subject of A Strange Harvest was my 9-months-long investigation of the animal mutilation mystery in Colorado and the surrounding region, North America and beyond to both hemispheres of this planet. Cattle, horses, goats, sheep, pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats and even wild game such as deer and marmots were found dead with bloodless excisions and no tracks around their bodies, not even their own tracks.

Unprecedented Die-Off of Leopard Sharks in Redwood City, Calif. Bay Area

“The one thing that we do know is that the leopard sharks are washing up dead in record numbers.”

- Sean Van Sommeran, Exec. Dir., Pelagic Shark Research Foundation

May 27, 2011  Capitola, California - In April 2011, the California Fish and Game Department and the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation (PSRF) in Santa Cruz and Capitola, California, started getting phone calls about dead leopard sharks washed up on beaches. As reports increased, there seemed to be a pattern of the most deaths occurring in the San Francisco Bay regions of Redwood City, Foster City, Coyote Point, and Richardson Bay on the north side of Sausalito. The California Department of Fish and Game toxicology lab has done some necropsies on the shark bodies and discovered hemorrhaging around the internal organs and inflammation and lesions in the leopard shark brains. But so far no one understands what is killing the sharks.

Couple Lifted in Car by Beam of Cerulean Blue Light Talk for First Time

Cerulean blue.
Cerulean blue.

May 27, 2011  Albuquerque, New Mexico - A beam technology that can pick up plants, animals and humans - even pick up a moving car containing people - has been described for decades. One experiencer of such a beam was Jim Sparks who says he was conscious most of the time when a vibration in his bedroom at night would raise him in the air, through the ceiling and roof, up above his house and into a craft where he was forced to interact with non-human entities and computer-like machines with screens that taught him alien equivalents to Jim's American English alphabet and numbers. That high strangeness began for Jim Sparks in 1986 and lasted for at least six years while he worked in North Carolina real estate development. See More Information at end of this report.
