  Mystery rumbles on over strange sounds

*AN 'EAR' witness who heard a mysterious rumbling noise in the Amlwch 
area on Tuesday afternoon, believes that the source was neither an earth 
tremor or a plane.*

The incident, which occurred at 2.25pm, was very similar to the 
unexplained boom that rattled the doors of local residents last August.

He said: "I was taking photos of Parys Mountain when I heard a low 
rumbling noise coming from the north. It lasted one to two seconds, but 
I couldn't feel any temors, and then there was a second rumble.

"I've heard that kind of noise before in a quarry when they've been 
blasting. It didn't sound like an aircraft to me."

Scientists at the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh say no seismic 
activity was recorded in the area and the Ministry of Defence could not 
confirm the presence of supersonic jets.

The last earthquake to hit the area was on February 10, 1994, when an 
tremor measuring 4 EMS struck south west of Bangor.
