There are two viral stories from internet that we choose which is the “Strange Trumpet sound in sky” and Everest. Both of the viral stories that we choose are based on the true stories.

 The first viral story that we choose from internet is the “Strange Trumpet sound in sky”. It begins when people from different part of world heard unexplained sound in sky, this have leave them terrified as what the strange noises were and where it come from. The strange sound has been heard over US, Canada, Australia, Germany, Russia, Philippines, Malaysia and other countries. The strange sound that been heard in sky sound like a sound of trumpet or a collective from a brass section of an orchestra. It been almost a decade, people keep hearing this strange sound at all different times.

The first video of strange trumpet sound in sky that been recorded and posted on YouTube was in year 2008 when a user recorder the strange trumpet sounds in the sky from Homel, in Belarus. This strange sound has caused some of people to have nightmares for day or week after hearing the strange eerie sound like trumpet in sky. One of the people that have nightmare for days after the event is Aaron Traylor. Aaron Traylor captured a video in Montana in the U.S. which is on February 18,2012. And he said that he been having vivid nightmares ever since he posts the very eerie strange sound. His wife woke him up from a dream last night where her wife says that he was screaming, his wife said that she never heard her husband scream like that before.

There are some people who come up with this possible theory like trains shunting, the noise that comes from the trains in reaction to the overhead wires and the track. And some are belief that the strange sound from the sky are from the construction building works. Other than that, some people belief it was from Aliens. Moreover, some belief that it was the HAARP weapon. There are rumour that the U.S. government uses some secret weapon in the sky for defence and weather modifying. Furthermore, some people have a strong belief that the strange trumpet sound is by the Apocalypse and the seven Trumpets of Heaven. The seven trumpets are sounded at one at a time to cue apocalyptic events that been seen in the vision of the Revelation of Christ Jesus, by John of Patmos. It belief that it is the signal of the end of the world. And other say that it is from the tectonic plates grinding. The tectonic plates are the piece of the Earth’s crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere. It is around 100 km thick and it also consist of two principle types of material which is oceanic crust and continental crust. Finally, is atmospheric pressure. Its the force of per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface. And for the scientist at NASA, they have a different explanation. What they think that people heard of the strange sound like trumpet is the noise of our earth that constantly producing. There also a statement from the agency saying that ‘If humans had radio antennas instead of ears, we actually could hear a remarkable symphony of the strange noises that coming from earth. The scientist call it “Sferics”, “tweeks” and “Whistlers”. To me the explanation that NASA provide is doesn’t ring true, but neither do I have the good explanation either.
