Scientists Solve Mystery of Global Hums: Earth, Not UFOs, the Source

These sounds or mysterious hums, wrongly attributed to UFOs in the sky, have been clarified by French scientists. Typically also heard in Morocco, Scotland, Canada or New Mexico, the scientists believe that these sounds, far from coming from extraterrestrials, originate from the planet Earth.

After a second rumbling of the same kind, which occurred in 2018, a team of French scientists looked into the matter, reports Lematin.ch. According to a recent study, these researchers have shown that they come from a magma-filled reservoir deep under the Indian Ocean.

A few months after the noises were heard, a submarine volcano, measuring 5 km long and 0.8 km high, did indeed appear off the coast of the island of Mayotte, between Madagascar and Mozambique, the same media reports. The study shows how the magma, located about 35 kilometers deep, penetrated the Earth’s crust to the ocean floor.

Furthermore, the emergence of new submarine volcanoes is nothing new, but it is rare for it to generate such noise, the same source argues.
