I don't think Seneca and Cayuga are "two of the world's larger and deepest lakes"... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.18.41.97 (talk) 11:40, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I added the ongoing weather tag due to this currently happening at random throughout the world. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TopsailHS (talk • contribs){{#if:22:53:20, August 19, 2007 (UTC)| 22:53:20, August 19, 2007 (UTC)}}.

:And I removed it, because it is not an appropriate usage. The template is intended for a single event that is ongoing, not a recurring event like this. It would be just as inappropriate on thunderstorm for example. Dhaluza 23:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the only reference, (Appletons' Annual Cyclopaedia and Register of Important Events. 1899. p. 440), there is no reference to any mistpouffer. I would like to delete this reference. Sarah.pingrey 23:27, 17 July 2010.

Just to mention, a Google Books search finds many references to mistpouffers - this is a different spelling - should it be substituted? 71.23.209.131 (talk) 05:15, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

"The term originating in Seneca, Georgia, USA during the country's civil war..." has no reference. I believe that the term originated in James Fennimore Cooper's "Lake Gun". What is "(Johnson 5)" doing there? I would like to delete much of this paragraph and move some information up to the main paragraph. Sarah.pingrey 23:32, 17 July 2010.

Are mistpouffers related to skyquakes? It has surprised me to not find anything about skyquakes in Wikipedia. --uKER (talk) 21:40, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

This may count as OR - but in the above publication, 5th series vol 6, 11 November 1876 p 389 and vol 7, February 3 1877, p 94 there are articles on these sounds, with reference to recent notes by Mr Knox Wigat. Jackiespeel (talk) 16:28, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

I removed all of this stuff from the External Links section. Being so tangential to the subject of matter, I'd say if anything, they should be used as sources. I'm leaving them here in case there's anything of value to be taken from them.

Should we clean up this section? I feel like there should be a distinction between legitimate hypotheses of the scientific community and "it's probably Dragons or UFOs". --RRorg (talk) 09:56, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

I have cleaned up this section to reflect more current ideas and include scientific references. Idoubtit00 (talk) 19:02, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

should be removed if there isn't a source.

I have verified (the easy way: google search + Ngram viewer) that there are no occurrences of "cielmoto" in Spanish or "bombe(s) de mer" and "canon de mer" in French, except for things that are entirely unrelated or direct quotes of this page.

The "verification needed" warning is insufficient, and this page is a source of misinformation, as demonstrated by this widely-viewed video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWXESGggpLY — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.173.62.130 (talk) 15:39, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Could it be aerosol cannisters of bio weapons?
