Mystery ‘Booms’ heard in 64 locations around the world create confusion among scientists
Suggested explanations include a sonic boom from an aircraft or a meteorite, but no one has been able to confirm or explain what causes the so-called “Bama Booms’.
A series of strong ‘booms’ head in different parts of the world have bewildered the scientific community, which still does not know the origin of this phenomenon, which has been felt more and more frequently.
So far this year, there have been a total of 64 similar events in the United States, in some areas of the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
The most recent occurred in the states of Alabama and Colorado (USA), according to CBS Denver.

Many of its inhabitants reported through the social networks hearing what they refer to as the “Bama Boom”.
Bill Cooke, a spokesman for NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Bureau, said the latest episode could have been caused by a supersonic plane, a burst on the ground or the explosion of meteorites in the atmosphere.
In this regard, the US Geological Survey (USGS), after analyzing the noise, confirmed that it was not the result of an earthquake.
Many people speculate that the extravagant noise may have been caused by a military flight of a supersonic jet, despite the fact that the US Air Force is yet to confirm this.
According to Popular Mechanics magazine, the most common source of these “mysterious sonic booms” are unannounced military flights with supersonic aircraft.

However, in the USA the Air Force has not spoken about it.
The mysterious noises have been reported by dozens of residents from different places: an inhabitant of the city of Abergavenny (Wales, United Kingdom) has described it as “a burst of shotgun or fireworks”.
Speaking to the Abergavenny Chronicle, one resident said: “It nearly gave me a heart attack it was that loud. At first, I thought it was a shotgun blast or a firework, but it was way too loud for that. It sounded more like a tank going off.
My husband said it was probably mini meteors colliding with the earth, but have you ever heard such nonsense?”

Others relate it to meteorites coming from the annual Leonid star shower, which reached its peak last week, and even with explosions caused during military training.
Ron Hranac, an astronomy expert, told CBS that if the bursts were actually produced by a meteoroid, they would not be related to the Leonids because the meteorites in the storm are too small to reach the ground and produce such noises.
On October 27, another ‘Bama boom’ was recorded in the Eyre Peninsula, in southern Australia, after several witnesses saw the passage of a bright meteorite.
A spokesman for the Red Desert Fireball, a network of cameras in Australia that track meteorites entering the atmosphere, indicates that the phenomenon could be caused by a change in pressure when the celestial body entered the Earth.
What are the enigmatic sounds?
Sonic boom: A sonic boom is a sound that is associated with the shock waves produced by an aircraft traveling through the air at speeds faster than the speed of sound. Sonic booms produce massive amounts of sound energy, which is why sonic booms sound like an explosion to the human ear.We could be witnessing never-before-seen military exercises: Throughout the decades, people from all over the world have heard unexplained loud noises which resulted being connected to military training, at Army or Naval bases in remote areas. These sounds may be caused by similar military exercises.
Maybe these are just controlled explosions: A controlled explosion is a method for detonating or disabling a suspected explosive device. While this is one of the theories, experts believe we are not actually hearing the massive booms due to controlled explosions or demolitions.
Some experts say it may be unusual weather: It’s a fact that numerous loud noises are connected to unusual weather events, such as electrical storms or thunderstorms. Maybe the loud ‘bada booms’ are the result of extremely unusual weather events.
Meteors entering the Earth’s atmosphere: Experts say that meteors entering Earth’s atmosphere have the ability to produce strange and loud noises as they collide with our atmosphere.
And last but not least, Aliens: We can’t just finish the list without mentioning aliens, can we? Who knows, maybe these odd bada booms are the result of Alien vehicles performing crazy maneuvers in Earth’s atmosphere.
