It' s a bit windy today. Are you sure it wasn't someone who'd just had a really big plate of beans?

20 year old fighter pilot...Ive got a funny feeling some young 20year old RAF pilot may get disciplined, according to Twitter some folk are phoning the police aparently #SonicBoom is trending

My dialogue for the last few hours has been...
'Noooo, FFS, I missed it, I've never heard one'
Chatteris, probably 15 miles as the crow flies SE from Pboro...never heard a thing...gutted, absolutely gutted.
The wife was at work, she said it was so loud the ground shook, the trees wavered,the sound went right through you, the birds went mental, flying everywhere..you couldnt see a piece of clear sky, birds everywhere.
She had palpitations for 45 minutes. She had to give an injection to one of the kids..and couldnt, she was so shook up. Passed it to another member of staff.
One guy dropped his cutlery apparently and hugged his head in fright.
So so gutted.
Apparently contact was lost with an aircraft and Typhoons were scambled from Conningsby, permission given to exceed the sound barrier overland given the security implications. Contact was regainex while they were enroute.

I heard it's a publicity stunt for some '80s retro comeback event:
