The "Hum" In Central Texas - Cedar Park and Round Rock

Another report of the strange and annoying "hum" has come in, this time from Cedar Park, Texas.




*
We live in Cedar Park, which is not far from Round Rock, TX. I have been hearing a low rumbling, noise that sounds very much like the noises that are being heard in Round Rock, TX. I have asked my Mother many times, if she hears it, and she sometimes does and sometimes doesn't. It is always late at night between 11:00-2:00 when I hear it. I cannot pinpoint the exact area it is coming from because it seems to emanate from below the ground or in the sky. It is loud, constant and luckily I don't hear it in my bedroom, which is on the North side of the house (I hear the noises only outside on the South side of the house). I sure would like to know what is making these noises, if you find out please let us know.
*

As I stated in my previous report [Strange Sounds and Vibrations In Round Rock], these sounds seem to be heard by only a select few, apparently by people who are sensitive to low frequency sound waves.  

Sounds can travel through gases (air), liquids (oceans), and solids (Earth).  To learn more, read How Sound Travels,

Could these sounds and vibrations be due to mere highway noise?   The cause of this phenomena is yet unknown.  Let's work together and find out!  -Sunny

Strange Sounds and Vibrations In Round Rock

In the past I have received a number of emails, concerning an annoying 'sound' in the Round Rock, Texas area.   It seems only a select few hear this sound and some actually feel accompanying "vibrations."

I received an email yesterday, from one long suffering witness who wrote:  "I've been hearing a vibration late at night, usually starting between 11pm-12am.   It sounds like a cross between the alien sound in the movie "Contact" and a truck running its engine, yet not as rhythmic.   It annoys me so much it's hard to sleep, yet my husband doesn't hear it at all."

She admits that she recently had a fluid buildup in her ear but now that it's cleared up, she hears the sound... again.

So what is this annoying sound?   Some people liken it to the Taos Hum.   Others simple say it sounds and "feels like" a like a distant semi running at idle. 

Is this night time cacophony merely acoustic reflectivity from a distant city, or main highway?   Or perhaps it's some type of military testing, or even traffic reverberating through a deep underground tunnel? 

Whatever it is, it's driving people batty and causing a lot of sleepless hours.

If you live in the Round Rock, Texas area and are bothered by an unidentifiable nocturnal thrumming that seems to come from everywhere, yet nowhere, please contact me.

MUFON Case # 47348    
05-09-2013   
Sugar Land, Texas
Summary: picture taken during severe storm    

Report:
Took photo of severe storm. Nothing was visible to the eye. Didnt notice "lights" until later when looking at pic.

[Editor's Note: Can't tell for sure if these lights are caused from a light flare, a reflection, or if the lights are actually objects captured by the infrared capabilities of the camera.  -Sunny]

MUFON Case # 47330    
05-08-2013
Austin, Texas
Summary: 2 Orange/Amber objects descended from the NE, hovered at around 250 ft. then ascended gently going west    

Report:
Leaving the Whataburger at 11:15pm...prior to getting on Cameron Road I noticed a whirring sound and a few seconds later I noticed 2 light-objects moving from the NE toward my location and coming from hi to low elevation.

There were 2 objects moving in a lose and changing formation in relation to eachother...they were descending toward my direction (I stopped the car immediately and got out to observe because of how strange they looked and moved...there was a very subtle wobble or side-to-side motion as they moved along.

They stopped at an altitude between 200-300 feet, judging from the power-line height...they were very low and the whirring sound was very subtle and didnt last long.

They would be pretty easy to miss because they did not give off light rays...they had a clear edge to them but still having an inherent orange illumination.

As they moved westward above Hwy 290 I got back into the car and tried to follow. Somehow, without appearing to speed up they gained altitude and distance quickly...out of site by the time I reached the access road of Hwy 290 from Cameron Road. I moved onto 183North hoping to catch another siting of them but that wasnt successful.

My girlfriend was in the car with me. She heard and saw the whole thing...we have a photo from her phone camera that we will upload soon for the report file. It clearly shows the 2 orb-like objects.

Photograph Of 'Something' At The San Antonio International Airport... What is it?

*

I received these photos and report from a man who on May 2, 2013 at 6:30 AM, drove past the San Antonio, Texas Airport and took photos of the morning sky. 
I've tried to determine if the object in the photos could possibly be a reflection... but of what?  There are no structures of this sort in the area, nor lights to match.

Please note: The photos presented here have been cropped from the originals.

Here is that report, unedited:

Location: San Antonio, Texas
Date: May 2, 2013
Time: approx. 6:30 AM


This was all by accident I got these pictures. I was trying to get the picture for the view and bam there it was. I was driving while taking this, so I wasn't paying much attention. I can't explain it. Help?

Those pictures were over san antonio airport, sorry forgot to mention that. I know I couldn't have been the only one it was about 630am give or take.

No other structures of any nature. I to was thinking maybe a reflection as well. But if you look at the picture with lights on it, it seems to be almost the same distance from the tower...I just can't see that being a reflection. Weird is all I can say.

Note: If this is a real object over the Sam Antonio International Airport, then someone had to have seen it.  If you did, please report it. 

If you have suggestions as to what it could be, please leave a comment but as always, please be civil.   Thank you. -SW

Just received, are reports from Eagle Pass and Carrizo Springs, Texas, concerning amber and golden lights in the sky. 

Here are those reports, unedited.


Received through a comment to a post (Triangular or Polyhedron-shaped Object Over Corpus Christi), on this site:

Husband and Wife - UFO Sighting April 30, 2013
Eagle Pass, Texas -Pioneer Road (Aurora Meadows)

I left to pick up my hubby from work at 9:20 pm waited a while, he was supposed to be out by 10. We switched seats and on the way home on pioneer road he says babe whats that in the sky? I started searching, even though I thought he was joking... there was a mix of urgency and excitment in his voice. It wasnt till we were about to turn into Aurora Meadows that he slowed down and pointed out the lights that I saw what he was talking about but by that time I only saw two orange lights that flickered off and on. They were horizontal then vertical then only one was left then there was nothing. Chris got to see a cluster of 5 or 6.

Also received this report from another witness:

Brundage, Texas
April 30, 2013
9:00 PM

Just saw 4 to 8 bright gold lights over Brundage, Texas north of Carrizo Springs.

I saw them around 9pm I believe they where going north towards San Antonio. Back in my hometown Eagle Pass, TX 46 miles from the sighting a friend of mine also claimed to have seen the lights.
What I find weird is that the lights flew over Dimmit County Airport. Being in AFJROTC and joining the Airforce in a couple of months, I was able discard the possibility of the lights not being an American or in this fact " human " aircraft.

Update!

Just received a new report:

Eagle Pass, Texas
April 30, 2013
10:04 PM

In Eagle Pass, Texas, at approximately 10:04 pm, on April 30, 2013, I was looking to the east and all of a sudden, I happened to see 20-30, beautiful orange lights appear in the sky. It seemed they were coming toward me,but then they stopped "advancing," as they reached a certain size, which is difficult to determine, but in my estimation, they looked rather large. At this point, they went out suddenly. The lights covered a space of apprx 75 ft or more from where I was standing, which was about a 1/4 of a mile from the Rio Grande River in Eagle Pass, Texas. A few seconds later, I saw six lights reappear, three on each side. They went out and a few seconds later, two more lights appeared they went out, too. I stayed in the area so I could see if the lights would reappear. And appx. at 10:30 pm. to the right and lower toward the horizon of where I was standing, , the orange lights reappear, this time in a large, half diamond form. The bottom part of the form was longer on the right, with one single light to the left side of the tip of the diamond shape in the sky. These lights went out as well, and I did not see the lights reappear.

Investigator's Note:
What were these lights?   Is it possible that these were flares expelled from military jets in a MOA (Military Operations Area), or were they something else?

If you witnessed these lights, please send in your report.  Thank you. - Sunny

Light Streaks Across West Virginia and Maryland

Are these sightings related?  The sightings occurred on the same evening, yet were seen miles apart in separate states West Virginia and Maryland).

These reports were submitted to MUFON and are re-posted here, unedited.

MUFON Case # 46951    
Date: 04-23-2013
Location: Bel Air, Maryland
Summary: The point of light traveled across the sky in a strange, but mostly straight path. Traveled what would be the eqiuvalent to about 8 inhes across the sky, then abruptly made a 90 degree turn and immediately dissappeared with no noise throughout.

Report:
I was smoking a cigarette with my friend, who will also confirm this sighting as he was standing right next to me. Ive been an avid stargazer since birth, I follow UFOlogy, and I have always believed that we were not alone in the universe long before anybody had brought the debate up. Feeling quite robbed of my ability to see the Lyrid meteor shower last night, as there was very dense cloud cover in my area, I decided to see if I could see anything tonight. As we went outside to smoke, we light our cigarettes, and as we often do, looked up. I was just glancing around trying to decide which constellation to marvel at, and as I did I looked to what I think was the star, Alphard, I dont know my stars super well this was after the fact using Starmap 3D, anyway, what I thought was a star begins to move slowly across the sky. As I had just stared to watch it I thought, "Oh, just another plane." As I live very close to BWI and theres constant air traffic over my house. But then as it got closer, I didnt hear any jet engine sounds as I normally always do, and as I watched it move across the sky, it seemed to be weaving, from left to right, in somewhat of a line, as it flew. I thought this was odd for a plane to be flying in this manner, and let out a, "Hmph.", as if puzzled and as my friend dave knew what that sound meant, he began to watch what I was as well. We both obseverd this object for about 5 minutes, and at the very end of the sighting it made a very abrupt 90 degree turn and the light vanished, which is something i have never observed personally until last night. It left me with goosebumpbs as I had been waiting my entire life to observe a UFO first hand, unfortunately without the foresight to bring a video camera I didnt capture anything. But it felt unreal to me, I tried as I could to logically explain away what we had both witnessed. Perhaps a sattelite, for example. But the more I tried, the more it seemed apparent to me that I couldnt explain away what I had seen, which led me to believe that I did in fact observe a UFO.

MUFON Case # 46948    
Date: 04-23-2013    
Location: summersville, West Virginia
Summary: a bright solid white light about size of a pie plate moving at a high rate of speed moving from the NW horizon to about 3/4 SW horizon changing direction at 90 degrees and then shooting straight up out of site no sound. no blinking lights    

Report:
Myself an my wife were doing some evening yard work and had piled up a bunch of brush to burn in our fire pit. We decided we would burn the brush and sit and watch for some meteors during the meteor shower, at about 955pm I had stood up to warm my back against the fire and I was facing the North West Sky I noticed this bright round light moving towards us just over the tree tops behind my house, I quickly noticed it did not have any flashing red white or green lights that are required on all aircraft, I said to my wife for her to look at this light coming towards us and over our head, as she saw it she said what is that I said , well I dont know for sure, I cant see any flashing lights like a normal aircraft would have, but we should hear some type of engine noise in a few seconds as it gets over our heads and past us which is normally the case when you see a normal aircraft going past you then you hear the engine. I also noticed that it appeared to be covering a large amount of distance way faster than any aircraft I have ever seen, and believe me I have seen many, I was an Air Force Brat since the age of 6 and I also almost 9 years active duty in the Air Force. I said to my wife Im gonna get my Binoculars that were in my truck approximately 30 feet away from us,I kind of fast walked over to it grabbed them and headed back towards my wife a few steps as I was about to lift the binoculars up towards the object she said in an excited voice it just changed direction, I quickly looked up to get a fix on it with my eyes so I could put my binoculars on it and it appeared to have moved in an easterly Direction form when I last saw it and it appeared to be in a hover for a second then just shot straight up and out of sight within about a sec to second and a half, enough to know that it was getting smaller and not simply the light going out. There was no sound at all. We had seen several aircraft flying around before we saw the object all had the typical flashing red , green type lights and sound, as well as after we saw the object. Having been around every imaginable aircraft in our arsenal as well as many other countries aircraft, I can tell you for a fact this was not one of our Known aircraft. I hope others were out watching the meteor shower and saw the same object.
