COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Officials with Branch County 911 Central Dispatch say the location and nature of the loud boom noise heard late Monday afternoon across the county has not been determined. The first calls that came into 911 about the incident were received from residents of Coldwater aroubd 5:30 p.m., but then quickly spread across Branch County.
Coldwater City Police investigated but couldn’t confirm the origin of what some people said sounded like an explosion. Central Dispatch assigned the case to the Michigan State Police since many of the calls to 911 came from outside the city limits and across much of the county.
Dispatch said troopers were not able to determine what caused the noise or its possible origin. For now, the complaint and its associated calls to 911 are being listed as unfounded.
