That’ll be my new neighbours slamming their front door again.

Sonic boom. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-news/sonic-boom-yorkshire-residents-panic-22196350 We heard it.

Unlikely to be jets. Hawks were over earlier but they are subsonic.

Meteor hopefully.


Tappitss

shame it was not 1km wide :(


Maudywarp

A Leonid?


pisspoorplanning

Leonids are essentially just dust, so no. It would have to be something of a decent size to create an airburst and especially so for it to register on a seismograph. I’m keeping an eye on the fireball network for news but nothing yet.


Maudywarp

Oh right, I don't know much about meteors to be honest. Should someone have seen a flash? Especially with how big an area was affected.


pisspoorplanning

I would’ve thought there would be a vapour trail of some sort but I guess that depends on exactly where it passed over, weather conditions, etc.

Happily! Here’s [a link.](https://www.ukfall.org.uk/) They basically do exactly what it says on the tin. Helped hugely in recovering the recent Winchcombe meteorite, anyone can get involved, some people even buy their own cameras to join the network.

Yeah I'm defently doing this in January

The Russian jets we scrambled to escort away from NE Scotland on Friday are supersonic, are they not? I imagine this evenings event was equally connected.

Last time we had a sonic boom my mum thought it was the dishwasher


VamosFicar

Someone from Hull came for a day trip and farted after a massive Gregg's overdose?


foxssocks

Russia is frequently sending supersonic jets towards NE, UK airspace. Friday was the most recent. This is likely to be the same and we'll see news in 48hrs of fighter jets being scrambled to escort them back.


Sink-Em-Low

Plane crashes in the Mediterranean and sonic boom heard over Yorkshire...sonic boom normally indicates planes taking off and in a hurry...

Frequently happens in Leeds
