The Ministry of Defence is investigating reports of a loud bang that has been heard across a large part of England.
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service also said they were looking into what caused the mysterious noise heard at about 18:10 BST.
Reports have come from across the West Midlands, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire.
One Coventry resident said his house shook. "I thought somebody had thrown a brick through the window," he said.
The MoD said it was looking into reports of a loud bang in Oxfordshire.
There were reports of the noise being heard from as far apart as Bath, Swindon, Coventry, Rugby and Oxford.
Birmingham Airport dismissed suggestions the sound could have been caused by a sonic boom as a plane came in to land.[/quote]

Jewish ones, apparently!
We thought somebody was trying to break into our kitchen, that's how loud it was.
Goddam it i had my headphones on.
Interesting though, maybe a meteor?
Maybe a christmas cracker factory exploded.
Probably some swamp gas going supersonic.
I didn't hear anything.
Aliens! :ufo:

If I say 'weather balloon exploding' will it get me banned?
BBC radio just said that it was a sonic boom from a military typhoon jet scrambled due to a fake security alert.
Wait I heard this as well in Dorset!

As soon as I read the title I guessed it was the military.
Of course, I suspected a nuclear test, but still
A lot of my friends heard it. Can't say I did.
Oops
Apparently, a small helicopter transmitted on the wrong frequency, resulting in the jet being scrambled.

Where do you think they would have performed the test?
Just to give a source for the sonic boom:

What. No it was just a sonic boom, those things are loud.

I dunno... Somewhere :/
It was just my first reaction
"Birmingham Airport dismissed suggestions the sound could have been caused by a sonic boom as a plane came in to land."
No fucking shit, its a bit late to be going transonic as you land.
Reminds me of a time when a pair of 20 year olds stole a truck from the local rock quarry. They took it to a few miles outside of town and torched it. What they didn't know was that there was 200lbs of dynamite in the back of it. Whole fucking town shook and the two guys were killed in the blast.
I live in Nuneaton just down the road from Coventry (CV11) and nobody here heard anything.
