Making a new claim to a long list of claims made by Harvard’s former head of astronomy and alien-hunting physicist Avi Loeb, who claims to have discovered the source of a UFO whose sounds rattled the windows of New England for 12 seconds.
On the evening of October 20, New England residents reported a strange ‘boom’ sound that shook their homes and rattled their windows for nearly 12 seconds.
The noise was captured by Harvard University’s astronomical instrument, and it bore no resemblance to birds, wind, or aircraft.
The sound was traveling at a speed of 1,115 feet per second when it was detected by the Cambridge Observatory.
Loeb determined that the energy source was most likely released by a meteor that exploded during the Orionid meteor shower, which peaked on October 21.
Loeb’s Galileo Project observatory recorded the boom with a massive and ultra-sensitive microphone
Loeb’s Galileo Project observatory recorded the boom with a massive and ultra-sensitive microphone he installed on the roof of a building on the Harvard University campus.
Andy Mead, who built and designed the system, contacted Loeb on October 21 after noticing some strange observations made by the sensors.
“I started getting messages this morning about a ‘viral’ sound that was heard throughout New England,” stated Mead in the shared note.
“Notably, the Mount Washington Observatory made a post about it as they had so many inquiries,” he added.
“That post now has over 4,000 reactions, 1,000 comments, and 751 shares, many of whom heard the sound and are following the story,” he stated.
According to the report, the explosion was heard from homes around 7:43 p.m. ET on October 20. Mead told Loeb that he checked the AMOS system and discovered ‘a very interesting sound’ that lasted 12 seconds.
