Aliens. The only reasonable explanation.

Last summer when I was up in Alaska, one day my crew kept hearing these booms about every half hour. It wouldn't have been that weird, except for the fact we were 80 miles north of Fairbanks way way way deep in the backcountry.

A few weeks later we found out that the Red Flag Days at the military base, which is training for pilots (as I understand it). We were hearing sonic booms, and quite a few of them.

If I start hearing strange sounds, I just take my hearing aids out. Problem solved.

Silence in the middle of the night.

Absolutely, everyone knows the Klingons have cloaking devices on their ships and remain cloaked while searching for unsuspecting humans alone in the wild to subdue.

Experienced the same thing 120 NW of Anchorage at the foot hills of the Alaskan Range. However they were right over head. Clearly a training area, and on their departure they left several sonic booms.

Those sounds are freaky. I don't know what I'd do if I was in the middle of no where on a solo in the heart of the BWCA. Talk about weird

I heard something like that once out in the woods so I googled it. It has to do with the ionosphere. Sometimes with northern lights, sometimes not. Google Nikola Tesla and his ionosphere experiments. They are still doing his experiments in Alaska, it is very fascinating scientifically.

Not that I can't identify it, but I have always been fond of complete silence at night. Hard to come by in the suburbs of Chicago. I also love the sound of howling wolves that sound like they are right around the corner from my site.

Please, no sensible answers!

I was certain a dragon was going to fly out of the clouds in the first link... That's some weird stuff. I'd love to experience it first hand! Especially if someone else on this forum heard it the same time I was in the BW!

Did Jan ever tell his Bigfoot story to anyone?

+1 - Funny, I do the same thing. In fact, while in the bush I generally don't wear my aids at all.

I don't care for these noises. I listened to them right before bed last night, and I had a nightmare.

I'm going to pretend like they don't exist. Also, on a positive note, no one seemed to be slaughtered before, during or after the noises. No carnage.

I did notice power high lines in the background of the one video. I have experienced first hand some very weird sounds coming off those on a cold windy winter day.......Just sayin

Any of these would frighten me. :-)
