“I live close to the North shore of Lake Erie, near Nanticoke Ontario Canada. I hear this noise many many times over the past few years and it drives me crazy because I cant figure out where it is coming from. It happens mostly at night, usually cloudy skies, sometimes during the day but cloudy so cannot see anything. Happens when its really windy or calm out. All seasons. It lasts about 10-15 seconds and stops, then comes and goes over a period of hours. I wish someone knew what it was. Its creepy.”

“This is probably one of these noises that will never be sussed out.When I was in the Royal Air Force in the late sixties I worked on early warning radar at RAF Saxa Vord in the Shetland Isles and RAF Buchan which is just south of Peterhead in Scotland.It was my job to identify intruders into the UK airspace.When one was identified as what we used to call an X-Ray fighter were sent up from RAF Leuchars and sometimes Binbrook to intercept and identify the intruder.When the intercept was completed the fighters would escort the offending aircraft away from our airspace.This was a regular occurence at this time and there were many many incidents.
The Russian aircraft took off from the north of the USSR and were immediately picked up by Norwegian radar and their location,speed,direction and height was noted.The Norwegians would scramble their fighters and escort it out of their airspace,then the info was passed to us at Saxa Vord and we would scramble,after that they would be intercepted by the American aircraft from Iceland,then the Bombers would fly across to the Eastern seaboard of the United States and fly up and down that coast looking for weaknesses in their defence.Then the whole sequence would be reversed as the Soviets returned to their Russian bases.If the public knew how many of these incidents actually took place they would have been very worried,but it was never made public.
As for this incident over the UK I find it hard to believe that any Soviet aircraft would actually get into our airspace as our defences now are far superior to 40 years ago.We used to do exactly the same with our Vulcan bombers trying to find a weakness in the Russian defences so honours were even. I was listening to a guy on Radio Humberside saying how he had heard it and attached a Gizmo,as he put it,to his puter and said he worked it out that it was a Russian plane similar to a Hercules aircraft flying at 26,000 feet,what a load of cobblers as you would NOT be able to hear an aeroplane at that height!!!!!
As for my theory on the hum???? I think it was probably an East Yorkshire bus on Anlaby Road being left on tick-over so it was warm in the morning orrrrrrrrr it could have been my ex mother in law on a test flight,complete with cat, on her broom.”

“It was the Hull City management trying to figure out a game plan for Saturday.
Hmmmmmmmm.”

“Its no secret now - so I can advise Mail readers that the Russians had Hull targeted for a 1 megaton air burst nuclear strike in the Cold War. The bombers do not need to be overhead. Our Vulcans, for example, could launch their stand-off bombs up to 50 miles from target. After 20 minutes flight, to prevent false incoming signals, they cut radio contact and proceed to target.There is an issue about our air defences right now - but a Soviet attack on the UK would be folly as the retribution would be the obliteration of St Petersberg within minutes. Moscow would be saved for any second strike - unless they hit London first. We have enough missiles ourselves to deter any Russian strike. The issue is more about a rogue attack by Terrorists and you can not entirley rule out the possibility that they could hijack a Russian military aircraft. Plan for the unexpected would be my advice. Shoot 'em down if they get too close every time, anywhere.”

“I never heard it but i have just been catching up on my dvd recordings and i was watching itv calender news and the clip where david blunket was talking with the peice of clothing there is a sound in the backgroud which sounds identical to the recording on hull daily mail. anyone else heard it?”

“flew over my house north hull and most definatly a large prop multi engined plane wish i got up to look out of the window now
i did think at the time it sounded different from most planes you hear but never even crossed my mind it would cause this much interest.”

“And the Russian TU-95 cannot be blamed as it moves too quickly. Convinced it was a Hercules.”

“It was most definitely an aircraft. Specifically a prop engined heavy,slow machine Im convinced was an AC-130 Hercules. NOT RUSSIAN. Based in Wilts by our very own RAF and personally I believe it was a stunt to put the heebie jeebies up the British public into not allowing the coalition government into cutting resources in Scotland. The MOD are denying anything untoward in East Yorks airspace because they knew it was an allied plane and are not going to tell Joe commoner they did it deliberatly to prove to Cameron and Clegg that those RAF bases are needed for National Security.”

“just out of curiousity i thought i would check what the russian bomber actually sounded like and it has a big resmblance to that played on the recording caught have a listen see what you think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9S3h37GW2g&feature=related”

“Well what else could it rationally be? Spaceships do not exist.”
