Bengaluru residents hear loud mysterious, thunderous sound, police says it's investigating source
Bengaluru: Residents in Bengaluru were in for shock when on Wednesday afternoon they heard a mysterious thunderous sound that shook the windows of the homes while some claimed they felt their homes were shaking.
Twitter was full of tweets with residents explaining their experiences with the sound even as they remained clueless about the source of the sound.
The sound was originally heard at Whitefield in Bengaluru but the sound was heard as far as Cooke Town, Vivek Nagar, Ramamurthy Nagar, Hosur Road, HAL, Old Madras Road, Ulsoor, Kundanahalli, Kammanahalli, CV Raman Nagar and HSR Layout in the city.
City police confirmed that it was investigating the source of the sound and Bengaluru Police Commissioner said they have asked the Air Force Control Room to check if this was a flight.
The KSNDMC, however, also confirmed that the loud sound was not related to an earthquake. The sound was reportedly heard for five minutes between 1:20 pm to 1:30 pm.
This comes amid reports of a mysterious 'loud bang' heard earlier today in Belconnen and Gungahlin, in Canberra North.
