Sky Trumpet Theories

There is are a number of theories that have been floated to explain what could be causing sky trumpets.

Those more scientifically minded tend to argue that the strange noises are possibly caused by tectonic movement or other things moving around deep underground or in the ocean. If the objects are big enough they could cause sounds that would travel a huge distance and seem like they are coming from the sky.

Another popular theory is that the trumpet sounds being those spoken about in the Bible that signal the second coming of Christ and the end of the world as we know it.

Some have also suggested that the sounds could be related to extra-terrestrial activity, perhaps a warning that they are coming.
