    I just heard from the grapevine that a large explosion was heard in Westchester that shook the houses and shattered windows and yet it was not an earthquake. The police say that it was firecrackers going off in the Bronx, yet the firecrackers did not go off at the same time as the explosion and the noise was even heard in New Jersey. There were reports of a black cloud, etc. Has anybody else heard about this? Seems like a cover up of some sort. :confuse:

    "

    A box of fireworks detonated in the Bronx late Monday night, causing an explosion that shook houses and could be heard for miles, according to the FDNY.

    It’s not clear what caused the fireworks to ignite at Pelham Bay Park about 11:15 p.m., but the blast could be heard throughout the borough.

    An NYPD source told the New York Post that the professional-grade fireworks were in a garbage can left on the pitcher's mound of one of the park's baseball fields. The can was turned to shrapnel in the explosion, but several unlit fireworks remained.

    Fire officials say that crews went to survey the area, but left after it became apparent they weren’t needed.

    Hundreds of people living in the area took to Twitter, saying the blast shook houses and could be heard as far as New Jersey. At least one person tweeted that the explosion caused a window to crack.

    It's not immediately known if there were any injuries."


    Idiots rather than terrorists this time.

    Yes they are called fireworks, and no you can't nanny state them away from people.

    This may have just been some improperly disposed of leftovers from some new years celebrations, but...

    You want cover ups? I'll give you some other ideas...

    Okay, if the powerful explosion, felt miles away and across state borders, was indeed fireworks packed into a trash can left sitting in the middle of a ball field this was obviously a terrorist attack, maybe not Al-Qaeda quality death and destruction (yet), but big enough to, perhaps, be an amateurish attempt, by an unknown group serious enough to pack in this much punch. Like, a dry run.

    If this is so, than this is being kept on the down-low to prevent a public panic.


    Alternately, if you're into conspiracy theories, there have been some UFO activity in the area recently, and there have been sightings of explosions and also high-speed jet chases in the skies around the New York-New Jersey area.

    I know about these sightings personally because I've recently been browsing the underground UFO sites (like UFO Stalker) after I encountered some interesting things of my own in October 2013.

    The only blast we heard of is in Prague, where another Arab blew himself by accident.
    We wonder what was he doing with explosives in his house :confusion:

    For the love of God. I read your entire post and was just dumbfounded. Firstly, al Qaeda did not attack you on 9/11. That was Israeli special intelligence under the sanction of your own government. Secondly, aliens are not chasing each other across the skies of NYC.

    Just wow.

    I was comparing explosion potential to that of a suicide bomb. A bomb of professional quality, such as one created by an international terror group. As we have seen in the news, such explosions kill dozens all the time, across the world... I was not suggesting who was behind the explosion, though. Because any number of potential groups in the USA may want violence.

    As for aliens... I would like to give you the news article, that I saw in my news app, about the high speed jet chase of a UFO in New Jersey, a few months ago, but I don't know enough about the app to have saved that story for later. The story disappeared. So, of course, I have no evidence for my claims.

    But, needless to say I've been aware that UFOs are exploding all over the USA lately. And that makes me sad because even though I'm scared of them I hold no malice towards them.

    I never said you're an Arab filth. I'm talking about criminal organizations who have the capacity to unleash horrors upon the world.

    Too bad there isn't a science fiction forum, right? Oh well, there's always: Conspiracy Theories : Other/Miscellaneous section of the forums. But, I don't really have anything else to say that would fit there, in that section. So, eh...

    this thread is not about the assassination in Prague.

    please stop derailing threads with your obsessive hatred of Arabs.

    Your post is a fantastic example of how Americans simply make up their own reality, contrary to what the evidence stipulates. When you don't like reality, you just laugh at it and pretend it isn't real. You do it with evolution, you do it with guns, you do it with climate change, you do it with Iraq and you do it with 9/11.

    Your society is incredibly dangerous because it is violent and it is stupid.

    Sorry buddy. I was a little hard on you with my reply. Apologies.

    That said, I still think you're a little bit nuts if you think aliens are zipping around NYC. On the other hand though, I've no idea how to explain the Rendlesham Forest Incident, so you never know.

    Anti-nationalism. I think Einstein once said, "Nationalism is the measles of mankind".

    It's effectively a war tool. Nationalism mobilises a population for war and not much else.

    I like the Jimmy Reid analogy in which on the one hand he likened nationalism to the electricity that powers an incubator, and on the other, the electricity that powers an electric chair. In other words, there are two kinds of nationalism - good (the former) and bad (the latter). Good nationalism is the kind indicative of the aspiration towards self-determination and bad nationalism is the ugly form of blind nationalism indicative of the phrase "my nation good or bad".

    Officials investigate after fireworks explode in Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx on Dec. 30, 2013. (credit: CBS 2)

    A huge cache of fireworks exploded in a Bronx park, breaking windows and generating hundreds of 911 calls in two states Monday night, police said. The incident occurred in Pelham Bay Park around 11 p.m. and rocked homes from Westchester County in New York to Bergen County in New Jersey. It’s not clear what caused the fireworks to ignite at Pelham Bay Park about 11:15 p.m., but the blast could be heard throughout the borough. An NYPD source told the New York Post that the professional-grade fireworks were in a garbage can left on the pitcher's mound of one of the park's baseball fields. The can was turned to shrapnel in the explosion, but several unlit fireworks remained.

    Yeah, nationalism, boo...

    Oh, think nothing of being hard on me. I have presented no evidence that aliens are zipping around NYC, much less that the explosion was related to them... As these are two separate issues and both questions must be approached individually. That's logic.

    Now, I may be a little crazy, but I haven't signed any non-disclosure agreements so I can call them as I see 'um. Right up until I round the wrong corner and become embroiled in something big, in over my head. :peace:

    Now that said, I'm perceptive to the direction of this conversation, and I'm quick to learn when I've crossed a line. As the people have a right to feel safe, and the government ... I have no reason to be trouble. I'll just concede that I have no public evidence and you have critical thinking skills...

    ...
    ...

    (PM me for evidence)

    I look forward to the end of the investigation because I want to know about what they've found, whether it's terrorism or not, but the whole area is going to be under several foot of snow by the end of the week. They don't have much time left to look for clues.

    First, i live next to you... in partly occupied by Muslims United Kingdom.
    Second, i keep say thanks to the great USA for saving our a$$es 69 years ago from the Nazis. ( which today are Arabs with laptops ).
    American society is a lighthouse to the world.
    Blame China for climate change & blame the Arabs for global violence.

    Well, I don't know what they meant, but I did read this topic:

    Minnesota Explosion.

    So, maybe it's part of a larger "shock and awe" event of bombs around the world, that's now my opinion of the matter. At least until a report gets published on this New York explosion.

    In the USA many would say he was exercising his "Constitutional Right" to keep explosives in his house.

    Where I live they had this old codger who was always handing out Nazi leaflets (yeh, REAL Nazi, swastika and everything). He was busted because somebody tipped the police that he had something like a QUARTER TON of SMOKELESS POWDER (I think that's about nine times as powerful as gunpowder, but could be wrong there) in his (*)(*)(*)(*)ing BASEMENT. Oh, and this was in a chock-a-block development, definitely NOT out on some farm somewhere. I remember listening to the talk radio and ALL the right wingers were ready to go to war. How DARE the nanny government try to protect the public from some crazy old nut with more dynamite than Dupont. Children playing and families for blocks around should have been PROUD to risk death everyday without even knowing it in the struggle for Naziism...er..Freedom

    Hey, you were the ones who wanted the UFO safety devices deregulated. How in HELL can you expect to properly control anti-gravity tesla solenoids without Heisenberg degenerators? This is what you get for letting Michelle Bachprtlxim put the Witchcraft Amendment into the UFO Safety Bill. You saw what happened to her..uh..him..uh..it after the last Intergalactic election, didn't you?

    Seriously, I just get all goosebumps when somebody brings up mysterious explosions from far out at sea, unexplained lights, etc. My favorite of all times was and remains the Bombay Bombs, distant explosions over the Indian Ocean (itself legendary for mysterious creatures and phenomena) heard in Bombay/Mumbai at long periods throughout the 19th century and never explained. Anybody hear of them lately?

    What can I say about UFO safety devices ? Obviously we were mistaken to deregulate them and, obviously, we should now equip all of our aircraft with multi-band omni directional sensors. If only because the Fisheye view, YouTube videos of the flight would be awesome.

    Well I don't know anything about Tesla or Heisenberg, but if we weren't such energy hogs, we could donate all of our energy out to others, and the environment. Then, supposedly, we could use Imaginary Numbers to make what goes down, go up...

    Witchcraft? Don't you mean : "I'm not a witch!" Christine O'Donnell? Well, I DON'T support her on most issues (she was a Tea party Conservative, I'm a Democrat), but I always admired that she wasn't afraid to explore another side of the spiritual issues. I have no problem with witches or witchcraft. She was too good for you fearful superstitious lot, IMO. She can fly over my house any time!

    (Seriously though, witchcraft, for those who know, is really just a bunch of rituals, spiritual tools but not a religion, and they can be practiced by anyone even Christians. And, it doesn't involve a pact with the Devil either (unless you want it to... Satanists). I once knew a guy who was a Christian Witch!)

    As for booms at sea, I know they exist all over the world. We call them Sea Cannons over here. I have no idea what they are, but I tend to suspect it has to do with UFOs harvesting or studying tectonic energy. I wouldn't personally go out investigating any lights that appear at sea near the booms, though, as I might get exposed to an unhealthy dose of high-energy radiation, I suspect the inner ring is in fact a hazard area, as these lights form a circle, and you shouldn't go there. Just like you shouldn't stick a finger in a running machine.

    Now the tectonic plate CAN produce noise events, and the one under the North Eastern USA is very hard and very compacted and compressed because of the enormous weight of the glaciers during the last ice age ... The area has been spared a lot of tectonic activity, in the past, just because it's so jammed in down there, deep underground. It's only recently that there has been noticeable activity regarding the ground shifting here, like the 5.8 magnitude earthquake in 2011 which caused damage to old colonial era cottages and monuments, including the Washington Monument, because they weren't built for the stress of earthquakes.


    See the video in ThirdTerm's news link in post #15... This event in Bronx, New York wasn't a sea boom, nor an earthquake. It was an explosion in the local park, in a trash can full of fireworks. There are some anomalies in the story, though. Like how come there were still leaves on the ground nearby? Why did such an extreme explosion leave some unexploded fireworks around if it turned the trash can into shrapnel, and a smoking scorch mark in the landscape? Why was such a loud explosion, powerful enough to be heard for miles and across state lines, how did it break glass across the street but it didn't bend the fences, or pole wires, and cars' windows in between?

    It wasn't UFOs, I suspect this scenario less and less, there were people in houses across the street from the baseball field. Some of them ran outside and said they saw the fireworks. There's NO Way they all got a talking to before the news media showed up. This isn't about UFOs it's about possible terrorism. Or, extreme carelessness. Or, overblown fooling around... A childhood prank shouldn't have produced such a powerful explosion, I would think, but I could be wrong (kids right? Messing around with no understanding of the scale of their actions).

    - - - Updated - - -

    Oh, what the heck, I only live once... (Oh, but that witness isn't me so don't go ruining their life on my account). Here's a UFO in New York... Go read the Sighting description.

    UFOStalker > UFO Sighting > Case 53107: Round ball of light hovers, moves NW and just hovers for about 10 mins

    Also, go look at the map on the page for this sighting, and compare it a map of where Pelham Bay Park in Bronx, New York is located...

    Isn't it interesting that this UFO encounter happened near a hospital so close to, and just a few days after the Bronx Fireworks explosion? The large "Fireworks" explosion happened December 30th, 2013. The sighting claims to be January 1st, 2014. This slow-mo UFO even prompted a jet chase...

    But no, This says nothing about whether this has anything to do with the explosion itself. For that we'll have to wait for further information from the investigation.
