More Mysterious Booms and Sky Flashes in North Carolina and Australia

— “What the hell was that?”

– Moranbah, Qld, Australia resident, Sept. 7, 2017

— “I talked to a police officer and told him that I heard the boom
(after son saw a sky flash) and it sounded like a bomb had actually gone off.”

– Rebecca, Manoora, Qld, Cairns resident, October 7, 2017

— “Some people reported hearing a loud boom. Some people reported
feeling their houses and the ground shaking. Other people reported their
pictures coming off the walls in their houses while also hearing
a boom.  And some people reported all of that.”

– Winston-Salem, NC Police Lt. Steve Osborne

 

October 26, 2017 Moranbah and Cairns, Australia, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina – Last month on September 8, 2017, in Moranbah, Australia, on the northeast coast some 530 miles south of Cairns and 1053 miles north of Sydney, the local Daily Mercury news headlined, “What the hell was that? — Mysterious Moranbah explosion!”

Moranbah is 530 miles southeast of Cairns. Some 9,000 people lie in Moranbah near the Coral Sea of the Isaac Region in Queensland, Australia. It's main industry is coal mining.  Late on the night of September 7, 2017, Moranbah residents reported an “enormous bang that sounds like an explosion.” Then one month later in Cairns to the north on October 7, 2017, late Saturday night, there was not only a “bomb-like explosion,” but many people saw a bright flash of light right before the massive boom was reported to police.

Just before 11 PM local Australia time on September 7, 2017, numerous residents reported hearing a huge bang that shook their homes. A Queensland Police spokeswoman confirmed that police were alerted to a potential explosion around 10:49 PM local time (Sept. 7, 2017).  The police did conduct patrols, but there is no further information.”Click for report.

Latest Antarctica Volcano Count — 138! Another Threat to Sea Level Rise

“We were amazed. We had not expected to find anything like 91 more volcanoes a mile down in the ice! ...West Antarctic rift is the densest region of volcanoes in the world.”

- Robert Bingham, Ph.D., Glaciology, Univ. of Edinburgh, Scotland

What is troubling scientists is the ability for these many Antarctic volcanoes, if they erupted, to cause wide scale melting and breakup of Antarctica's ice sheets. Image by NASA.

September 29, 2017 Edinburgh, Scotland -  Scientists from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland have done the first study of the West Antarctic Rift with ice-penetrating radar and have found what might be the largest volcanic region on Earth, larger than the East Africa volcanic ridge that contains Mt. Kilimanjaro. They analyzed the shape of the land beneath the ice using measurements from ice-penetrating radar, and compared the findings with satellite and database records, as well as geological information from aerial surveys.

To their surprise, they now have a count of 138 volcanoes that range in height from 320 feet (100 m) to 12,600 feet (3,850 m). The peaks are concentrated in a region known as the West Antarctic Rift System, spanning 2,174 miles (3,500 km) from Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf to the Antarctic Peninsula. Some of the peaks stick out of the mile thick ice, while most are below the ice sheet.
