Bhubaneswar: A loud sound similar to that of an explosion was heard across three districts in Odisha on Wednesday.
The mysterious deafening sound was reported by residents of Jajpur, Bhadrak, and Anandapur in Keonjhar.
According to sources, the sound was heard between 10.55 am and 11 am, triggering speculation about a possible explosion or supersonic boom.
Locals in Bhadrak districts said that the glass shelves and walls of the houses began to vibrate with the loud sound. People were also seen rushing out of their houses after hearing the noise.
People in Jajpur district suspected that the loud sound might have occurred due to some missile test at APJ Abdul Kalam Island. Some college students said that they heard a loud explosion around 10.45 pm and felt a slight vibration following which they rushed to a nearby park.
The source and reason behind the sound, however, are yet to be ascertained.
A professor in Physics, Prashat Parida, said, “Usually such sounds are heard and the vibration is felt due to some crack or blast below the earth’s surface. However, if no vibration has not been felt by the people, the cause is likely to be something else.”
Notably, Bhadrak and Jajpur districts reported a similar occurrence in 2020.
