I live approx. 25 miles from downtown Austin and I heard this crazy loud sound (I was inside my home) coming from outside in the sky that lasted around 2 minutes. I ran outside and looked all over the sky and didn't see any aircraft at all, but the noise sounded airplane engine-like. I've been totally baffled by it since it happened (around 1:00pm CT).

I've talked to several other people who live around Austin since this bizarre event and they all heard it too and were kinda freaked out about it as well. A couple of my neighbors who also heard it weren't able to go outside b/c they were on conference calls at the time, but they totally heard it inside their homes too. Wish I could actually find out WTF it was.
