Skyquakes are unexplained loud sounds from the atmosphere without meteorological or other known explanations.

Infact verdict: Mixed (55/100).

Skyquakes are indeed real phenomena characterized by loud, unexplained sounds originating from the sky. Despite various hypotheses, including meteors, gas explosions, and sonic booms, no single explanation accounts for all occurrences. The evidence supports the existence of skyquakes but confirms that their causes remain largely unexplained.
