I didn't hear anything, I'm in Middlesbrough. Sounds fun.
Why does all the cool shit happen in the parts of the country that aren't the North?
Sometimes I hate living in Yarm.
Heard nothing down here in Wiltshire
obviously the reptillians are testing haarp for the upcoming project bluebeam fake alien invasion.
Didn't hear anything from where I am sadly
Would of been really cool to hear an actual Typhoon breaking the sound barrier though
Explosive beard growth.

No fucking shit, its a bit late to be going transonic as you land.[/QUOTE]
Does unbreaking the sound barrier cause noise?
Coventry here, heard nothing, felt nothing.
Other family did hear the bang, probably during a gunfight on the TV that i was watching.
That's weird because there was thunder around that time in south-east Wales
HAHAHAHA I live in that tiny fucking corner of the world you all know the West Midlands. Fuck me, there it is, on Facepunch. Excuse me whilst I make this seem more special than it really is.
:downs:
Didn't hear anything in Wolverhampton
Nothing in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

Yeah, that's what a lot of people dismissed it as initially..I heard it though, and it was definitely louder than thunder.

A sonic boom isn't a thing that happens just at one speed. Any time the plane is going over the speed of sound, the shockwave produced creates the sonic boom, but it's constantly moving, so at any given time it's only heard at one place.
So yes, it will be creating a sonic boom until the point it goes back down to the speed of sound.
Apparently it was two jets going supersonic to get to a helicopter distress signal at very low altitude

Sonic Boom.
Felt this today too, there was thunder at the same time so I thought it was just that.
That son of a bitch noise, heard it down in basingstoke and it made my cat freak out and kick shit out of its litter box into my computer. FUUUU!
was it just me ?

didn't hear anything here in north america will post when i hear something
It's a dream of mine to sit in the cockpit of a fighter jet, throttle up to maximum and travel faster than the speed of sound. Damn I envy the pilot of that typhoon, all that power in his right hand! hell, I bet he felt like Thor, the god of thunder!
It was the reptilians testing their brand spanking new super sonic weather balloon. It shall fly around the world carrying a slow releasing biological agent that makes us all infertile.
Duck tape your windows and doors. Lock up your home tight. Protect your jewels.
Concorde ghosts
IMHO I think this kind of thing is awesome and not something to complain about

I don't think people are complaining (well some will but you know the type), its more people just generally wondering what the fuck it is. I am sure in the same position you would expect answers as well.

Pfft, With the Concorde now retired, the only way to get to places any faster than normal means is to do your final approach with the throttles at max
overspeed warning? That's nothing, it just means we're ahead of schedule!
Sorry, that was me shooting my dog for eating my easter eggs.
Heard it yesterday whilst I was walking to the pub in swindon, thought it was a car going past or something
underground nuclear test
Small update from the BBC, [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-17699357[/url]
By the sounds of it the helicopter was squawking the hijack code so they responded pretty swiftly.
