Scientists Finally Know What Caused the Sonic Booms on the US East Coast

For over 300 years, terrifying, cannon-like booms known as the "Seneca Guns" have violently rattled windows and sparked wild rumors across the US East Coast. Blamed on everything from angry spirits and alien activity to secret government weapons testing, these mysterious sonic explosions have baffled locals from New York to Florida. Now, researchers have finally solved this centuries-old acoustic mystery. While mapping the bottom of New York's Seneca Lake, scientists uncovered a hidden landscape of 144 massive underwater craters—some plunging 30 feet deep and stretching 400 feet wide. These deep-water trenches act as geological pressure cookers, trapping enormous pockets of methane gas deep under the lakebed for years. When the pressure finally reaches a breaking point, the massive gas bubbles violently erupt to the surface, creating powerful shockwaves that are perfectly amplified by the lake's extreme 600-foot depth into ear-splitting booms.
