Mysterious loud booms again heard across the world
Mysterious booming sounds have been recorded from different places across the globe leaving people as well as experts baffled, the media reported.
The terrifying noises, nicknamed as "Bama Boom", have been recorded from the Middle East to the East Midlands to Australia, with the majority heard on America's eastern coast.
The latest boom was reported from the US state of Alabama and Idaho in the last week.
"Loud boom heard: we do not see anything indicating large fire/smoke on radar or satellite; nothing on USGS indicating an earthquake," the Birmingham National Weather Service said in a tweet.
While the cause remains unknown, suggested explanations include a sonic boom from an aircraft or a meteorite from the Leonid shower. But Nasa has since cast doubt on these explanations.
