Some Guthrie residents say they have been hearing them for months, but a number of residents heard them for the first time Wednesday evening. We’re talking about booms.

The Guthrie Police Department fielded two calls on Wednesday – one on the west side of town and on the city’s northeast side. One officer, while in the area of the east side call, heard one of the booms out his window. However, was unable to locate the source.

The booms have been heard around the Liberty Lake area as well.

Witnesses say the sound is like an explosion. At first, some believed an electric transformer from the above electric lines had popped, but that was not the case. Guthrie News Page checked with OG&E and they have had no reports of power outages in the area.

Perhaps, we may never know where the booms are coming from, or from what. Apparently, this has happen to another town according to a Catoosa, Okla. resident.

One reader, on the Guthrie News Page Facebook site, says the same booms were heard in his town a month or so ago. The booms were so loud that it shook his house and rattled the windows.

To this day, it remains a mystery in his town.

While the majority are searching for answers on the booms, some have come up with their own source of the booms, including home-made pipe bombs, underground wells, gun shots, and one reader believed his music was to loud creating too much bass.

Whatever the cause of the booms are locals want to know the source, but perhaps it will remain a mystery.
