Unexplained Boom and Lights Illuminate West Michigan Skies
Late Thursday night, residents of West Michigan were startled by streaks of light illuminating the sky accompanied by a loud boom that lasted over a minute and shook the ground. Many took to social media to express their confusion and shock. Videos captured the peculiar sight, leading to speculation that it could be related to the upcoming Perseid meteor shower. However, experts have dismissed this theory, stating that the Perseids do not produce sound as they vaporize before reaching the lower atmosphere. While the cause of the phenomenon remains unknown, conditions are favorable for viewing the Perseid meteor shower this weekend.
