Around 5 a.m. Monday, a loud sound moved through parts of Anchorage. It came in bursts, getting louder, then evaporating. It was heard from Midtown to West Anchorage, from Spenard to the Old Seward Highway. Some heard it once, others repeatedly for hours. People miles apart reported the tone abruptly waking them up.
It’s almost like a foghorn, and screeching metal on metal,” said Jamie James, who heard the sound as she was getting ready for work in her home near Lake Spenard.
“Every time I tell somebody about it, I say it sounds like a submarine scraping the bottom of a pool or something,” said Melissa Thompson, who went outside to record the sound.
“I would say it sounded like underwater moaning,” said Stephanie Quinn-Davidson, who lives near Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and has heard the sound multiple times over the years.
