Loud bangs from outer space, or fireworks?
« on: 01 December 2014, 22:52:28 »
Did anyone hear the loud bangs over the weekend?

Aurora project? Fireworks? Multiple asteroid strikes? Lightening? Sonic booms?


I'd post a link but unfortunately the best story appears to be from the Daily Fail (damn it) so I wont, but a quick google should reveal all to those that can be bothered.

Wouldn't the pilot be deaf by now though?  ;D


Sounds like fireworks to me but whatever.

I was surprised how far sounds travel, years ago in Pompey; I regularly used to hear the faint double boom on a still night; presumbably Concorde approaching the uk from the west.

Here you go Chris, not just one article from your favourite newspaper, but two to feast your eyes on!  :y

Didn't they close the A1 near Catterick thinking it was a terrorist attack or something?  :-\

That sounds like automatic gun fire to me, if it was Saturday or was it Friday night, then I was at work and it sounded like fireworks to me but the fog was down so hard to tell
