Sonic Boom?

[WorraLiberty]

Did anyone else in Essex or possibly further out hear a massive bang about 20 minutes ago?

All my neighbours ran out in the street and someone I know who lives about 40 miles away heard it too

[Enb76]

Heard it in Cambridge too - was definitely a sonic boom and confirmed by police.

[AmazingBouncingFerret]

No but something similar happened in the midlands a few days ago.

It's probably Trump losing the plot again 😄

[silverwings]

Yep , heard it here in Cambridgeshire. Shock the house

[pleasefeedthecat]

Or perhaps the air force are sending emergency aircraft to bomb French fishermen with baguettes 🙃

Ahh really?

That's good. We thought something had exploded.

Last time I saw that many people in the street, they were clapping the NHS 😂😂

I've just seen a news headline about this.... feel like I'm missing out a bit here in the midlands!

[Enb76]

Looks like it might have been a jet heading south (over Cambs) from Coningsby

[Keepingthingsinteresting]

And over towards Ely too- thought I was going mad & sent the dog off on one

[lifestooshort123]

Heard in Borough of Broxbourne. Gosh, life's exciting.

[BogRollBOGOF]

We had one a couple of years ago on sports day.

We just assumed that the industrial plant a few miles away had blown up

[Meme69]

Heard it in Kent too. All over the local Facebook page!

[VienneseWhirligig]

We had one at the weekend where I live. I felt the house vibrate.

[maggienolia]

Heard it here in South Cambs - made me jump, I was just trimming my bush at the time

In case anyone is over-invested.

[Affor]

Heard it in North East London!

[User24689]

Typhoon FGR4 on its way to France apparently. According to an aircraft enthusiast on the local FB page!

[WhatKatyDidNxt]

No but intrigued as l live in Essex!

Me too

[frankie001]

Enfield here. We were walking in the woods and wondered if we were the last people alive!

[Purplethrow]

We’re in Essex and my dd has just asked me if I heard it , she was in the garden and said she thought a bomb had gone off. I didn’t hear a thing!

[WildWaterSwimmer]

We heard it in South London. I had no idea what is was until I read this.

[mrsjoyfulprizeforraffiawork]

Another one here in NE London who heard it reporting in. I thought something really heavy had fallen on my roof and building shook.

[Purplethrow]

did anyone hear a large bang this afternoon in Chelmsford
2 x Euro fighter Typhoons jets that broke the sound barrier above Chelmsford racing to intercept a German registered aircraft that was not communicating

This is the explanation on our local fb page.
