BARRINGTON, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Island and Coast Guard officials say they haven’t found anything after receiving reports about an explosion in Narragansett Bay.
People on both sides of the bay in Barrington and Warwick and as far away as Somerset, Mass., reported hearing what sounded like an explosion at about 11:30 p.m. Monday. Some also reported seeing a light.
Area police and firefighters tried to find the source of the noise and light during land and water searches, but officials say nothing was found.
Coast Guard crews and local officials also searched Monday night for a boat reported to be in distress, but didn’t find anything.
TV stations reported receiving reports of an explosion followed by a loud hum. A Coast Guard spokesman says the Conimicut lighthouse near Warwick emits a hum pattern.
its just the bottom falling out of our economy..
Heard a loud explosion in Three Rivers around 12:30 am, called it in and they said they received multiple calls about it. I don’t think they found anything?
Thank you! I heard it here in Three Rivers also! Startled the sh*t out of me, and woke our dog up out of a sound sleep and made him restless and bark.
