Wow you heard it in Leeds? I heard it in north Doncaster.

Thought it was a sonic boom since there was a jet passing over.

Very loud near Selby. What the hell was that?

aardvark · 2 May 2016 at 21:59

there was a double bang followed by another one 5 seconds later.
Everybody is out of their houses wondering what the hell is going on.

No sign of any plumes of smoke on the horizon though.
It sounded like an explosion but one far away.

Everyone on twitter is saying it was a sonic boom from a jet.
