- last year
Residents were left 'terrified' and thought 'an explosion had gone off' after a sonic boom was heard across some parts of the UK.
Locals in Leicestershire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire heard the massive bang yesterday (Sat) at around 12.15pm.
Some people managed to catch the noise on camera, which some said 'sounded like a rocket landing.'
It is believed the noise was caused by an RAF Typhoon aircraft that was going to RAF Coningsby in Lincs,. to intercept a plane that had experienced radio failure.
The Dash 8 plane travelling from Iceland to Kenya was diverted to Stansted Airport.
