UDEN, — (In het engels omdat ik dit al eerder op een buitenlandse site had gemeld - Deze waarneming nam plaats eind 2001/begin 2002)
I used to live close to a military air base and at night (not every night, but when I did hear it, it was always around 2-3am) I would hear these sounds. They would last about 15-20 minutes and I can only described them as 'Close Encounter' sounds... you know like the 'communication tones' they have in the film?

The first night I didn't think much of it, as I thought I had just had one of those 'you dream you are awake, but you're not'-dreams. But then I heard it more often. It really freaked me out as I lived on my own at the time and I really started to doubt my own sanity as far as that I really started to think it might be UFOs, because I could ONLY hear the tones, but no 'air plane engine' sound to go with it.

I told my boyfriend (now husband) about it, and when he spend the night we agreed I would wake him up if I heard it again. I am sure he thought that when he heard it he would be able to reassure me easily and explain what it was... but, when I did wake him up, even he seemed a bit freaked, although I could tell he was trying not to let on. So... we got up and got dressed and went outside to see where it was coming from (I hadn't had the courage to do anything more than look out of my bedroom window before). We walked around for quite some time, and both agreed the sound was coming from the sky, but he also couldn't hear engine noises... The noise went away almost as soon as we started walking around outside (which was odd as it normally lasted much longer on other nights, so I was a bit disappointed as it kept us from finding where the sound came from) after about 10-15 minutes we decided to go back home and to bed.

It crossed my mind that one of my neighbours could be pranking... but realistically the sounds were too loud and clear (i.e. not muffled by walls, unless they had a huge open window or where outside themselves) for it, and my partner also agreed the sounds seemed to be coming from the sky rather than a nearby building.

As I said to start with, I lived close to a military base, and I know they had AWACS there. So in the end we decided that it must have been the AWACS radar making the sound when it's flying at night.
(don't know how it can 'hover' over the same 2-block area that long though)

Still, after all this time I am not 100% convinced this is true though. Is it?Does an AWACS make 'close encounter' tone noises when engaging it's radar at night?Or maybe even another 'silent' military airplane we haven't heard about yet?

Any (ex-)military people who can shed a light on this for me?

Thanks,

Update :
BTW, I do know what an owl sounds like, and a fox or whatever... but this was definitely not an 'natural' sound. If you would have said my neighbour was playing his keyboard very loudly in the middle of night you would be closer... (but not quite).

And yes, I do watch Syfy occasionally, but that doesn't mean that I am making up what I heard. Although you do get spooked easier on your own in the middle of the night, I admit that. By the way, it's not like I want to think it was a UFO, that is exactly why I am trying to find out what it could have been... and well, living so close to a military base, well, of course that's the first thing that comes to mind...
Guess I'll never find out what it really was... oh well...
