One resident, Gary Lee Huson Smith, was able to capture the sound on camera.

He said, “I didn’t hear it or feel it myself, the social media comments piqued my interest and led me to check out CCTV in my office.

“It happened just before 23:55 and only lasted a few seconds.

“There were comments on my video saying it was longer, but I couldn’t find any other shots myself.

“I wasn’t sure if it was confirmed as an earthquake or not to be honest? Sounds like an antenna drill to me, but heard that far away like Healing sounds like.

“I remember years ago there was another earthquake that had its epicenter in Market Racine, and I remember it shaking me awake at the time.”

Other residents were more jovial in their guesses, with some suggesting that she might have been an extraterrestrial.

“I don’t know what this is,” said Adrien Cooney, “but it sounds to me like an alien invasion.”

Some even likened the noise to that of fantasy beasts. For example, Kirsty Hillas suggested that it feels like “someone has released a kraken”.

Les Corrigan likened the noise to a dinosaur by simply saying “that Jurassic Park.”

Other suggestions included the possibility of helicopters flying over the area or a jet plane flying at a low altitude.

While it is uncertain what exactly happened in Immingham last night, many people have their own thoughts about what happened.

Some also said there were multiple voices rather than just the ones in Gary’s video.

“It seems to have two separate parts,” Ben Lewis said.
