What’s that noise? #3

Around 3:15 am, Feb. 8, I too, heard the “strange noise.” It did sound like it came from the direction of the train tracks, heading north. Perhaps it was the engine running in a low gear or they were blowing a night whistle. (Maybe the engineers have a “let’s scare ’em” whistle)?

While outside “listening,” I saw the most incredible shooting star pass through the sky. It exploded in a mini-firework of colors.

It was a very perplexing middle of the night.

[The editor replies: Another PTC resident left me a message reporting that he heard a similar strange noise twice. He attributes the noise to factory whistles timed to a train’s passage. Any other ideas?]
