Udupi: Geologists analyze loud sound heard in Manchikere


Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (RJP)

Udupi, Oct 10: The loud sound heard in Manchikere area near Manipal on Monday October 6 has been analysed.

When the loud sound was heard beneath the earth, a panic situation among the animals and birds was reported. It is said the animals and birds are the first to experience movements under the earth and thus respond in an unusual manner.

When the loud sound under the earth was heard at Rajiv Nagar at Manchikere near Manipal on Monday at 11.15 morning, the animals too responded. The dogs started barking for long and birds started flying as if it was evening.

The area between Malpe and Manipal is said to fall under the weak point zone. A weak point is a fault in the earth's crust and upper mantle where the rock layers have ruptured and slipped.

The loud sound was said to have been heard even six kilometres away from Rajiv Nagar where the incident took place.

As per experts, some rare zoological activities in land and water are not uncommon in the weak point zones. These activities are usually reported between May and November. This has been confirmed by Dr B M Ravindra, former Deputy Director from the Department of Mines and Geology. Hence, the type of sound heard this week was not a rare thing to happen in the area.

In April 2014, a sudden increase in ground water level was reportedly seen in wells and other places of the area. Later, a fissure was also seen in the earth near Manchikere on July 1.

H N Udayshanker, Geologist at Manipal Institute of Technology says that these three incidents are interlinked and the loud sound from beneath the earth could be due to the collapse of cavity to make adjustments for hollow space created beneath the earth.

    I have following to say which may be perfect or imperfect:
    I was taught God created Adam & Eve and allowed them to live in that "perfect" Garden of Eden where they could enjoy ages in each others company and in "perfect" companionship but with a rider...
    They should not eat the "forbidden" fruit (Now a days even small children know what is F\F) I they do then they will lose the image of God and will be subjected to good and bad, good and evil and they will become "Imperfect" from there on.
    God who is perfect will be distanced by Adam & Eve with their "Karma" when they commit same.
    They did not heed and ate the F\Fruit and lo became "IMPERFECT"
    They lost the exact image of their creator by their disobedience....

    God still continues and will continue to be "PERFECT" and can never be "IMPERFECT"

    The creator ? Is perfect then Answer this

    Perfection begets imperfection

    But, for the sake of argument, let's continue. Let us suppose that this perfect God did create the universe. Humans were the crown of his creation, since they were created in God's image and had the ability to make decisions. However, these humans spoiled the original perfection by choosing to disobey God.
    What!? If something is perfect, nothing imperfect can come from it. Someone once said that bad fruit cannot come from a good tree, yet this "perfect" God created a "perfect" universe which was rendered imperfect by the "perfect" humans.

    The ultimate source of imperfection is God. What is perfect cannot make itself imperfect, so humans must have been created imperfect. What is perfect cannot create anything imperfect, so God must be imperfect to have created these imperfect humans. A perfect God who creates imperfect humans is impossible.

    Religious absurdity -

    Two members were given death sentences, one was given a life sentence, and two were given 10 and seven-year jail terms.

    The victim was allegedly killed after she refused to give her phone number to the members, who tried to recruit her.

    The Church of the Almighty God cult is banned in China.

    However, it claims to have millions of members.

    Jonestown" was the informal name for the
    WFE....."Peoples Temple Agricultural Project formed by the Peoples Temple, an American religious organization under the leadership of Jim Jones, in northwestern Guyana. It became internationally notorious when on November 18, 1978, 918 people died in the settlement, at the nearby airstrip in Port Kaituma, and in Georgetown, Guyana's capital city. The name of the settlement became synonymous with the incidents at those locations.

    A total of 909 Temple members died in Jonestown, all but two from apparent cyanide poisoning, in an event termed "revolutionary suicide" by Jones and some members on an audio tape of the event and in prior discussions. The poisonings in Jonestown followed the murder of five others by Temple members at Port Kaituma, including United States Congressman Leo Ryan. Four other Temple members died in Georgetown at Jones' command.

    To a certain extent, the actions in Jonestown were viewed as a mass suicide some sources, including Jonestown survivors, regard the event as a mass murder.[1][2] It was the largest such event in modern history and resulted in the largest single loss of American civilian life in a deliberate act until the events of September 11, 2001.[3]

    People like you keep fantasizing with EOW and it never comes. Accept it that It was a geo phenomenon which u never saw or heard before but is not uncommon. Well tomorrow if you see a frog jumping 6ft high you would also call that a sign of the EOW.

    Please live your life lively since God has made this day for us all to live and let live not to wait on expecting the EOW to come.

    It comes when it's time for it to come, may be tomorrow may be next million years or so.....

    Sunil,

    By your name i am assuming that you are christian. Bible says -

    Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another every one will be thrown down.”

    As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

    Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.

    “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

    Belief in God is a culture of faith. But man of science has learned to believe in justification,not by faith in God, but by verification with scientific reason. So science is a culture of doubt. So let the geologist clear the doubts of above phenomena.

    Latest News:(From unconfirmed sources)
    It is also reported that people between Malpe and Manipal are very fond of sweet potatoes.
    Geologists are now looking at it from an very obtuse angle in a hope to find that source of sound, which sounded like 100 odd people performing on their trumpets all of a sudden.
    If confirmed (this news)then the people there are are out of danger.

    here too. They were there blowing their trumpet there on that day, probably gorging on sweet potatoes. What else?
    They are horrified now at the news leaking out.
    How can such sound come out otherwise? You tell me?
    All action of sound coming out is caught on a CCTV it seems according to confirmed sources.

    Juliana, these buildings, factories, lakes, dames all from the same earth just removed from one place and built at another place so it will certainly take that weight (Load). But I agree with you the consequence of cutting trees and disturbing mountains which certainly have impact on nature
