Stow rocked by mysterious loud boom

Stow police were investigating a “loud boom” Wednesday night, but were unable to find the source.

Police posted about the noise around 10:18 p.m. on Facebook. They updated the post at 10:40 p.m. to say that they checked “all sectors” of town, including the fire academy.

“We haven’t observed anything out of the ordinary,” police said in the post. “We have spoken to the surrounding towns who have similar complaints.”

“Heard it in Maynard!!” wrote Facebook user Jilene Pioli in reply to the police’s post. “Made my husband run outside to check that we didn’t have any trees fall down. Rattled the house.”

Rebecca Stout McCallister said it was observed in the area of Swansea, Somerset, and Fall River, as well.

Earlier this year, Peabody experienced loud booms, causing authorities to send out drones and dogs to try to solve the mystery.
