They can be very annoying. When they come in the dead of night and no source is immediately detectable, they can be a bit scary. Recently, I was told that there are an increasing number of reports of odd, strange, "whirring" sounds that can be seen to impact surroundings (animals bark, growl, motion lights and security cameras come on, etc.). When in urban settings it is easy to believe some local police force is following a criminal, checking out a report of suspicious behaviors, or some business is plotting or photographing an area for study. When this happens at night, it is a little troubling.
Around 2010, when living in Norman, Oklahoma, I was awakened on more than one night by the sound of a loud buzzing or whirring. It sounded as if it was in or near my yard. The yard was an acre and backed by a wheat field in a boundary area of the community near Moore, Oklahoma. My two dogs would be barking or growling. When I looked out into the dark from a darkened room, I could see nothing but could hear other dogs excited.
On one occasion, I also heard a helicopter - very different sound - and it seemed to be scanning the area with a spotlight. I could not see but assumed the Police were searching for someone or something.
The troubling thing was the whirring and buzzing would seem to hover over the yard and or house long enough to disturb the dogs and to awaken me.
When this happens, it is easy to say bored teenager with a drone making a nuisance of themself. When it happens over ranch lands with no one nearby, as it did in one case, then it becomes a bit more troubling.
Many data collection sites are reporting that there has been a large uptick in "whirring" reports too.
I recall one of the early 1947 reports of a UFO over Oklahoma. It involved an object that "whirred."
What was the whirring then and what is it now?
