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.

Unexplained Lights Illuminate Northern California Skies.

Bright orbs of light seen in the Northern California sky were identified by astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell as a Japanese communications package called ICS-EF, which was launched to the International Space Station in 2009 and orbited the Earth as space junk for 3 years before reentering over California at 9:30 p.m. People had been speculating about the lights, and those who took pictures or videos were encouraged to share them with [email protected].
