Sheriff’s Department Deluged With Calls About Strange BoomThat mysterious boom Sunday night that had everyone talking in Kosciusko County – the verdict was still out as of this morning as to what caused it.
Some residents in Mentone heard a second boom Monday night, but that’s also a mystery as to not only what it was but also whether or not it’s connected to Sunday’s boom.
At least one person claims to have spotted two white flashes Monday night, but didn’t hear any noise to go along with it.
A spokesman for the National Weather Service said there was no weather-related cause for Sunday’s loud noise. Some people attributed it to frost quakes – which are caused by ice on rivers and lakes – but he said it simply wasn’t cold enough for that.
The American Meteor Society keeps track of meteors that are spotted throughout the country, but its website didn’t have a listing happening in Indiana on Sunday.
A spokesman for the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department said dispatchers received more than a dozen calls about the noise.
