[quote:Anonymous Coward 33903675:MV8yMjMwNjE4XzM3ODI5NzUyX0UyRkU5MzY3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 26041823:MV8yMjMwNjE4XzM3ODI5NTIzX0Q5M0NFMTU4] I live in [b]Tampa,[/b] FL, way west Hillsborough, almost near the [b]Oldsmar Flea market.[/b] Starting at 10:00 to 10:20ish, there was a series of weird dramatic drum-like [i]'beats'[/i] pusling in the distance along with waning natural thunder. After hearing this "thunder" pulsing at such a regular interval, we went outside to look around. It sounded like it was coming from the West, a little bit South West. This would have been your direction. What's weirder is it culminated in a series of rapid-fire beats, accompanied by horizon-level flashes, like a big bug zapper or something. We went back inside, because everything ceased after that. Around 11:45 PM or so, we heard the jet rumbling noises. We have heard these weird mysterious jets enough to take note of them as an unusual, though recurring phenomenon. They sound enormous, and overbearing. They do sound like giant commercial jet flyovers, except that they never [i]"go"[/i] anywhere, and they just quickly [i]"turn on"[/i] and [i]"turn off"[/i] as those somebody quickly spun an analogue volume dial to bring them in and out of existence. This time it started pretty steady, and gradually got louder for like what felt like 7 or 8 minutes. It quickly shut off, then came back on. We went out back again. The jet noises were coming from your area again, the exact same spot on the horizon as where the beats and flashing had been earlier. The noises then died off again. Immediately, they returned, stayed constant for a final one minute interval, then off for good. (So far, as of 1:06 AM) No lights or anything this tme. Tonight when these phenomenon occured, there was no wind. Mildly overcast atmosphere, but you COULD see some stars. At 12:36 AM I checked weather.com and intellicast and the radars looked clear for the rest of the night, although it HAD rained earlier when I was running errands in Clearwater on US 19. Should we be worried? I don't know. It's definitely an incredibly creepy situation that most people reading this will not appreciate unless they have experienced it themselves. It's not a cargo plane landing, it's not thunder, it's not helicopters, it's not a train, it's not trucks idling, it's not wind. It's [i]"other."[/i] The perceived scale of the sounds, or whatever their presumed source may be sure seems so huge that it's scary. [/quote] North GA here. I have heard the same rumblings many times before the source has evaded me thus far. I have heard it go on from 12am to 6AM fadng and then the volume rising. It has gotten loud enough that I heard it inside my home and yet none of my neighbors to my knowledge has noticed it... Its so common for me to hear it while out stargazing in the dead of night that it doesnt even startle me anymore I just want to know WTF it is. [/quote]

Tonight at 11:45 in east Clearwater I started hearing loud rumbling sounds coming from the south. Went on about 10-12 minutes and was like a jumbo jet that didn't take off. Anyone have insight as to what it was/is? Should we be worried??
