boom...Boom...BOOM.....what? Nuttin.

Police officials have not been able to identify the source of three loud noises that sounded like explosions and shook houses in Stonington.

"We received multiple phone calls from people in the Old Mystic area about hearing three different loud booms or explosions that shook their homes," Stonington police Captain Jerry Desmond said. "We responded with the fire department and searched the whole area."

Desmond said police checked on construction sites and power lines in the area, but have not determined what could have caused the noises.

"We have no reports of homes being damaged by these booms and no reports of electricity being out," he said. "There are no incidents that people have reported that would be the cause of these loud noises."

Area residents said they heard three loud booms each about 15 minutes apart, beginning at about 9:15 a.m.
