Whether the strange sounds over Samarahan and the Indonesian earthquake have any relationship, only scientists can verify.
Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Datuk Fadillah Yusuf did not want to jump the gun yesterday.
Although very much interested to find out more, he said he needed to check with the Metrological Department first and foremost for some scientific explanation.
The matter became a hot topic of discussion in Kota Samarahan on that particular day and some residents even documented their experience on Facebook.
Teacher Mohd Ferdauz Jemain, one of those who heard the unexplained bizarre sound that day, shared his experience with The Borneo Post broadsheet and Borneo Post Online.
Apart from the Indonesian earthquake, another theory thrown to explain the phenomenon was the by-product of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Programme (HAARP) undertaken by the United States to change weather pattern and processing machines hard at work at an oil palm factory owned by Felcra in Kampung Endap.
