hee you know the strange Kiev trumpet sound thingy...

well i just heard exactly the same sound here in France Strasbourg (East of France near German border)...it came from south-east and lasted for like half an hour. I looked around with my car but didnt seen anything that may make that special noise.

though it was less loud than in Kiev, it was surprising enough to make me jump of my bed to the opened window...indeed i never heard it before.
