I am in WA state, about 150 miles from where this occurred, and unless it was just a coincidental phenomenon, at 3:59 am last Sunday I experienced what I can only describe as a mild soundwave/airwave type occurrence. I will explain…the following all happened pretty quickly:
I was laying on the sofa playing cards on my laptop and in my peripheral vision I noticed the water in my glass begin to wave/vibrate. I have lived for decades on major fault lines along the bases of volcanoes, so this is something I notice. I immediately glance over to the sleeping pets on the floor and am momentarily relieved that they are still sleeping, but look back to the glass. The intensity is increasing and my neurosystem just lights right the fuck up. I jump up, and plant myself solidly because only have a few seconds to assess if this is a shaker or roller and execute a plan. And why in the fuck are the animals still sleeping?! Glass rattling on glass table now, and why can't I feel anything?! I have a metal base with a glass top table, with a glass of water on top. The base is slightly uneven, so even walking by the table hard will make the base wobble a bit on the floor. The glass top never wobbles. At this moment, the base is of the table is NOT wobbling. First, the water in the glass started…then it grew to the glass itself rattling on the table top…the base of the table and the glass top were still. Confused as all hell, I grab the glass and steady it. I let go and it very mildly rattle a small bit and faded off, water still vibrating. Out loud, embarrassingly enough, I remember saying "what the fuck is happening, what the fuck is happening?" It faded out and I stood there for a moment and I realized it wasn't the earth, but it was in the air. It wasn't instantaneous in intensity, and there was no sound on my register. It was just a deep, low, almost lazy wave of undetectable (to me) sound. This is the point that I actually felt SCARED. I don't know why. It seemed ominous for some reason. I immediately wanted to go wake my husband, and so checked the time. It was 3:59 am. I didn't wake him.
After he woke I told him "I almost woke you up at 4am, I thought we were having an earthquake." I explained what happened and that I have no idea what it was, but it was not an earthquake, it was in the air, and it totally freaked me out. He later said he checked if there was any activity, and it was definitely not an earthquake.
I don't know why, but yesterday it suddenly crossed my mind – wait, what time was that possible missile sighting again? So last night I ask my husband if he remembers me telling him about me thinking we were having an earthquake and reconfirm with him what I told him. He confirms what I remember. So I showed him the article (he doesn't news) and told him I wondered if there was any validity to the missile thing because I totally think I observed a wave of some sort at basically that exact time.
So I don't honestly know what it was that I experienced or what caused it, or if it is related to this story, but when I looked at the clock it was 3:59 am and I'm about 150 miles from the island.>>1720994
