The Conklin Incident
One of the most notable recordings was taken on January 13, 2012, near Conklin, Alberta. This video, which now has over 3.8 million views, was captured by workers in the bush who heard and recorded a very strange sound. The authenticity of this video has been confirmed, and it seemed to trigger a wave of interest in the topic within Alberta.
A Wave of Recordings
Following the Conklin video, several other recordings emerged:
- Edmonton, January 2012: A 50-second video capturing a weird noise around Edmonton.
- Subsequent Days: Multiple videos from different individuals capturing similar strange sounds in various locations around Edmonton.
- Downtown Edmonton, January 23, 2012: A particularly interesting recording that closely resembled the sound I personally heard years later.
Personal Experience
In the fall of 2020, I had my own encounter with these mysterious sounds. While walking in the Oliver neighborhood of Edmonton, I heard a strange noise that seemed to emanate from the river valley. This sound was eerily similar to what was recorded in Downtown Edmonton in 2012. Despite my rational and scientific approach, I couldn’t help but entertain the idea of a cloaked UFO causing the noise.
Possible Explanations
Several theories have been proposed to explain these sounds:
- Snow Plows and Graders: These machines can produce loud noises that travel over great distances, especially in winter. Many strange sounds can be attributed to these sources once you know what to listen for.
- Natural Gas Compressors: Known to produce low-frequency hums, these compressors could explain some of the reported noises.
- Other Natural Phenomena: Various natural events and atmospheric conditions could also be responsible for some of the sounds.
The Alberta Hum
An interesting X account called Alberta Hum has been investigating a specific type of low-frequency hum heard throughout Alberta since 2011. This account focuses on rational and scientific explanations, such as natural gas compressors, for these sounds. While it doesn’t cover the full range of reported noises, it provides valuable insights into one aspect of the phenomenon.
Community Interest and Speculation
The topic of unexplained sounds has garnered significant interest, with numerous discussions on platforms like Reddit and TikTok. People from all over Alberta and beyond have shared their experiences and theories. While some sounds can be explained by known sources, others remain a mystery, fueling further speculation and investigation.
Conclusion
The phenomenon of unexplained sounds in Alberta, particularly around Edmonton, continues to intrigue and baffle residents. While many of these noises can be attributed to man-made or natural sources, some remain unexplained.
