Details of Incident:
There was a humming noise vibrating through our house for 45 minutes and we now believe it
could only have came from above.
My wife woke me at 4:30 AM on January 14, 2003 and asked me what the noise was. I got up and
checked the entire house including the basement and didn't find anything inside. My wife
suggested I open the window and we found that the noise was coming from outside. I looked at my
neighbors houses and to my surprise because of the volume of the noise, their lights were off.
I couldn't see anything (I never thought of looking up because quite frankly I never believed
in such things) and went back to bed and told my wife that it must be someone's house alarm. I
quickly ruled that out because the noise wasn't a loud screaming noise but a steady humming
noise that did go up and down slightly. When I was going through the house the noise was just
as loud in the basement as it was on the second floor, leading me to think it was vibrating
through the house. I also had a very strange feeling as if I was being watched but I didn't
have a clue why. Finally, at about 5:15 AM when we lay in bed listening, it suddenly got
quieter and then forceful and seemed to drift away. We never thought it was a UFO (and we still
aren't sure) until after we asked a few neighbors and found that they didn't hear anything. I
kick myself for not looking up because right now I can't think of any place else it could have
come from.
((NUFORC Note: Many communities have reported such seemingly unexplained hums, including
Monterey, CA; Taos, NM; and Seattle, WA. It is not known what causes the effect, but many have
studied the phenomenon. The U. S. Navy, at one time, had an underground grid installed in
Wisconsin, reportedly used for communicating with submerged submarines, using a very
low-frequency ("long wave") electromagnetic transmission. The project was called "Project
Sanguine," as I recall. That may explain the source of the hum reported by the witness, but
that is a wild guess. PD)
