Residents of New England reported that they heard a “strange” sound on the evening of October 20, which shook homes and windows for at least 12 seconds, according to reports, according to the Daily Mail.
Harvard University’s astronomical instruments recorded the noise and found that it did not resemble anything coming from birds, planes or wind.
Alien-hunting physicist and former head of astronomy at Harvard University, Avi Loeb, investigated the source of the “strange sound.”
Loeb determined that a UFO released explosive energy equivalent to 2,400 pounds of TNT, which was detected from a distance of more than 10 miles.
The sound was moving at a speed of 1,115 feet per second when it was discovered by an observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Loeb determined that the energy source likely came from the explosion of a mile-wide meteorite during the Orionid shower that peaked in the region on October 21.
The “Galileo” project observatory, which Loeb established, recorded the event using a giant, highly sensitive microphone that he installed on the roof of a building on the Harvard campus.
