Strange booms across the country

Post by Shrapnel »

Recently, strange noises and lights have been heard/seen in Roslindale, MA., where I live. I myself even heard one on Sunday; it scared the ever-loving shit out of me.

Also, it seems that Roslindale is not alone. Apparently, these noises have been heard across the country. Someone even made a video claiming it's a conspiracy. :roll:

So, my question is this: What do you think? Have any of you heard, seen, or experianced this or something similar? Is it aliens? A govt. conspiracy? Don Johnson? It boggles the brain cells. :confused:

We had them here in the South for a while.

But don't you know? Every day giant rocks hundreds of miles across smash into the country but the government hushes it up as part of their British-Catholic-Homosexual-Jewish-Anarchist-Communist conspiracy.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

I, myself, thought it was an German-Muslim-Vegisexual-Apachi-Fascist-Anti-Federalist conspiracy.

Also, did you happen to see/here them? I really, really, REALLY hope that its aliens. That'd be so fucking awesome if they decided to terrorize Roslidale. It'd be more exiting than the time the statue in the Alexander the Great park was decapitated by high teenagers...

I think I heard a boom once. It certainly rattled the windows of the house and thunder isn't really an isolated event here in South Alabama.

This was a few years ago (during the 2000's) and got mentioned in the newspaper. The paper--and some readers--said there'd been another period of sporadic booms during the 70's.

I believe Count once stated those booms were the sound of him masturbating his comically oversized genitals.
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

It's all publicity stunts for the new Avengers movie.

Isn't noise pollution illegal though? Unless they cut a deal with the local constabulary of course.

Edit: I can't believe a newspaper/site is playing along with it.

Disney has more money than God. I'm sure they could bypass noise pollution laws rather easily.

That is a possibility I had not considered.

The reason the newspapers/sites are going along with it, at least out here in Boston, is because our state senator drives a truck and isn't afraid to show it. With that much dazzling destructive clout being wielded by our state, we can pretty much publish what we want.


Edit: Sorry for the double posting. It's past my sleepy-time, so I'm not quite up on the brain being good to snuff. Like right there.
