MINNEAPOLIS - SNIPPET: "According to the Minneapolis Police Department, more than 100 loud booms have been heard since last summer, always at night, and often on a Wednesday or a Friday.

The most recent reports are all coming from a stretch along the Mississippi River, between Lake Street and the Ford bridge.

About half the reports turn out to be either electrical transformers or fireworks -- but the other half are unidentified exploding objects."

UEO’s? Any connection with UFO’s?

Somalis.

There was a story like this a while back. They arrested a guy for shooting off fireworks and the “mysterious explosions” stopped.

Yutes I knew as a..uh..yute had a propane cannon. Sounded like a nuke all over the valley.

Someone’s fishing.

That’s what I was thinking.

Yep, it appears they're using DuPont Spinners.

Muzzl’em bomb factory doing quality control? Or ‘work-related’ accidents?

[Fireone]

Probably just a spud gun.

Let’s apply a little Jack Pine logic here: We have explosions, on a river, a mile downstream of the U (that’s the University of Minnesota for those of you southerners). How long does the fuse on the cherry bomb floating on a 2x4 need to be?

Probably Jerry Clower out for a coon hunt. :)

Is Pat Travers is the vicinity?
