 		Weird sound in Canada ... ARG or just natural weirdness?
I can across these videos with a weird kind of moaning/ howl sound. One was posted on YouTube first one on July 16th http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtLNmdZTf_g

Then it got lots of clicks, and more people came out with similar videos (all in the norther-parts of the world). Here is a little compilation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ2ZcmMxehk

HuffPost just wrote it up: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/01/16/weird-noise-strange-sound_n_1208717.html

Anyone have thoughts? It doesn't really feel like an ARG but one of the commenters said it seemed like a "Viral" campaign. But, if it is... whats the next step in it? And it seems so vague... I have no clue!

 		People were discussing something similar in another thread, sadly assumed to be Cloverfield, which is why you might have missed it

 		Someone posted a comment on HuffPost that it could very well be related to the major solar storm in January. Heavy aurora borealis, and the reports all seem to be in the northern hemisphere. Many may be fake, but consensus seems to be that many are real reports from real people. Given the nature of the magnetic storm and effects in the atmosphere, perhaps it's possible that certain frequencies could be produced, and certain resonating frequencies could travel far and wide (like air through a trombone).
*shrug*
Certainly quite eerie, but there could be a scientific explanation methinks. Any other expert opinions reported in media yet?

 		I heard about this not too long ago. here is a video compilation of the known recordings that are not obvious fakes.

There are many more out there that are beyond a doubt fake and not even very good fakes.

http://www.disinfo.com/2012/01/the-strange-sounds-youtube-meme-apocalypse-haarp-or-viral-marketing/

Bottom line: there are probably a few authentic recordings, with obscure but boring explanations, and definitely a lot of copy-cat fakes.

 		 Some crazy thought from ..crazy
Well those of you who have read my crazy ramblings .. know I like to HAARP on these subjects Laughing I am very interested in this but is it a game?..most likely not.

This only brings more questions:

How many massive storms tsunamis and earthquakes have have happened previously in rapid succession?
How many cross continental species have spawned in strange locations?
How many frogs, bees salamander and small key lock species have been having major shifts in growth or decline?
Do you believe there was a Urkontinent or Pangaea?
When was the last time you felt a major Continental shift?
What really happened to the dinosaur species over what period of time?

How big will your home garden be this year?
