I am always skeptical, but not so much as to immediately discredit things that I can’t explain just because I can’t explain it. The phenomena of reverberating sounds all over the world has been happening for several years, and has been increasing ever since summer of 2011.
The chance that it is a hoax is always a consideration, but the fact that entire towns are experiencing it and local news outlets cover it helps add to the potential validity as a legitimate phenomena. Any time something unexplained happens the trolls, copycats, and hoaxers jump on it and muddy the waters.
The best source for info on this is this blog - Strange Sounds in the Sky. The owner spends a huge amount of time analyzing the phenomena and debunks a ton of them. He’s also a believer that there is a valid unexplained phenomena happening in some cases.
Mass hysteria, Kthulu’s return, hoaxes, or dramatic environmental earth changes…whatever the cause it’s interesting to me and seems to be a trend to watch. Do you remember in the movie the Day After Tomorrow when the weather started going crazy all over the world? Well, I’m always watching for shit like that. :)
I’m not going to present a wide range. Others have done that well. I’ll try to show some of the ones that seem to be more legitimate. If you’re really interested in a skeptical, objective approach to learning about this, start with this post. For a consummate skeptics approach this article is really good.
