Mysterious Booms Wake Wisconsin Residents Up For Third Straight Day

Forget worrying about the wake up call of a rooster, residents in the Wisconsin city of Clintonville were woken up for the second time this week by the sound of a mysterious “boom.” The third time that such a noise has been heard in as many days.

The loud yet to be discovered noise was first heard in the early morning hours of Sunday and then again on Monday night.

At this time authorities are not quite sure what has caused the “boom” noise. According to one city administrator:

“It startled everyone. They thought something had hit their house or a tree fell on their roof.”

City officials tried to pool together their collective brainpower to come up with an explanation but so far they’ve been unable to pinpoint the location of the noise.

Clintonville residents in the meantime believe that the sounds are coming from underground which has led city workers to check and then recheck methane levels at local landfills, water pipes, sewer pipes and gas lines.

Officials even went so far as to contact the military to make sure they were not performing any type of military exercise in the area.

After all of those attempts turned up nothing they reviewed mining explosive permits and even checked the Pigeon River damn which is located next to city hall.

A local seismic station near the city has reported unusual seismic activity which is usually due to quarrying, mining or heavy truck traffic however the city ruled out those sources as the cause of the loud boom.

A public meeting for the citizens of Clintonville will be held on Wednesday night to discuss the unexplained activity.
