No Explanation for Mysterious Sounds
By Ruffin Prevost
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — Yellowstone Lake and the rugged backcountry that surrounds it is a place where millions go seeking solitude and silence. Yet it in a well-documented but rarely discussed phenomenon, some visitors to the Lake area have experienced remarkable celestial sounds of unknown and unexplained origin
Edwin Linton, a professor of biology at Washington and Jefferson College and a specialist in marine parasites was working in Yellowstone in the summer of 1890 as part of a project for the U.S. Fish Commission. Linton, his colleagues and his guides heard the mysterious sounds more than once during that trip, and he drew from his own diary entries when he wrote an account of the odd experience for the Nov. 3, 1893 edition of the prestigious journal Science.
“They resemble the ringing of telegraph wires or the humming of a swarm of bees, beginning softly in the distance, growing rapidly plainer until directly overhead, and then fading as rapidly in the opposite direction,” wrote Hiram M. Chittenden in 1895 in his book, “The Yellowstone National Park.”
Chittenden’s description is one of several in the historical record — as well as many more from popular anecdotal accounts — of strange sounds or “lake music” coming from the skies around Yellowstone Lake and Shoshone lake.
And while some of the early accounts can be dismissed as coming from a single source, the later accounts show that this phenomenon has been around for quite some time - spanning several generations who are all equally perplexed by the sound. And as technology progressed, the explanations progressed with it. Everything from a hidden telegraph line to radio transmissions reacting to nearby ore deposits in the ground have been proposed as a possible explanation to explain the mysterious harp-like music and whispering voices.
But not all explanations center around technology. The voices have been blamed on a number of other sources as well, including a host of paranormal voices summoned to the area by forces more ancient than humanity's memory can reach. The noises appear at random locales with no discernable source and often conflicting directional sources. The individuals involved often report feeling ill at ease when the mysterious whispering wafts over the hilltops and gently sloping waves of the lake. Some have even proposed it could be the work of some ancient civilization that once existed around Yellowstone.
Still, when we look at the sounds involved in the Kiev sighting and then apply the mysterious descriptions offered by those who have heard the Yellowstone Lake whispers, a disturbing similarity can be drawn. One witness, a man in Edwin Linton's traveling party suggested the sounds had a sort of "twisting... yow-yow sound" to them. Looking back on the footage taken from Kiev, the sound could be identical in both cases
