Kyiv AWE

The Kyiv AWE was an Altered World Event that occurred in the late summer of 2011 in Kyiv, Ukraine, that the Federal Bureau of Control responded to on August 13 of the same year.
==Event summary==
At infrequent and unpredictable times over the course of early August 2011, incredibly loud sounds from no discernible location were heard and sometimes recorded by the citizens of Kyiv, Ukraine. The sounds were similar to those of a horn or trumpet, or alternatively of a large heavy object being dragged across a solid floor. Civilians exposed to the sound were reported to experience mental and physical symptoms in the days that followed exposure, including aphasia and sleep paralysis, with severity seemingly correlative to proximity to the supposed epicenter. In the weeks that followed, many similar events were reported in major cities all across the world.
In response to the event, the Communications Department of the FBC created videos alleging the event to be a hoax referred to as "Sky Trumpets." Additionally, the local population attributed the event to industrial drilling or Seismic Hum, ideas which the Bureau reinforced in order to further misdirect civilians from a potentially paranatural source. Due to the infrequency of the sounds and diminishing intensity of them in subsequent instances, the FBC was not able to sufficiently investigate the event in order to reach a conclusive explanation. The prevailing theory from FBC researchers is an event referred to as "planar friction."
==Trivia==
* This event is the in-universe portrayal of the alleged recording of the sound in Kyiv on August 11, 2011. This is allegedly at least the second time the sound was heard, with the first being July 31 of the same year. Many unrelated witnesses have been interviewed about the event, unsure of its source but confident that there was such a sound. Similar reports of similar sounds have been made in other locations across the globe, and similarly resulting interviews have been held. Independent researchers have investigated the event with no conclusive explanations to present. No major official coverage of the event was held, and several witnesses report their communication channels to have been hacked during the time of a local investigation.
