Maybe not related, but i live a few miles from this incident. The news of course did not mention any noises and blamed a rainstorm from the previous week.
What i think is strange is that at about 1AM the morning of the 31st my wife and i both heard a very loud boom. There was no light to accompany the noise. Just a quiet clear night outside. No barking dogs, no neighbors looking out the windows.
Emperor penguins can dive up to 1,800 feet (550 meters) and swim at speeds of 6 to 9 miles (10 to
15 kilometers) an hour. Because the species is on the edge of extinction,
many conservation plans have been made to prevent the
problem. All of their life risking efforts will be for their one offspring.
