bang tidy....

The picture posted above looks like a cylindrical object, perhaps a satellite type object? Something along those lines, if it wasn't CGI replicated then it will have a simple and earthly explanation. There's no reason to suspect anything outside of what the MoD have already told us.

[Jordan Naylor]

This 'cylindrical object' people are seeing... Could this not simply be a commercial airliner at cruise altitude or climbing? I know weather conditions havent been right for contrails the last few days so they just look like silver dots when you catch a glympse of one. You might be able to find it at http://www.flightradar24.com using the 'playback' feature (can choose time and date)

Wish I heard something, nothing ever seems to happen in NW england or Lancashire to be more precise!

My guess would be a civilian aircraft as well, though since there is no EXIF data on that image I find it rather suspicious.

[Lauren]

If a commercial plane is anywhere near a fighter when it goes supersonic, can this cause damage.

Obviously Concorde itself went supersonic, but is it different if the plane gets 'hit' by another planes force from the boom?

[Tim B]

If a commercial plane is anywhere near a fighter when it goes supersonic, can this cause damage.

Doubtful.

The pressure from a sonic boom is tiny compared to that of normal air over an aircraft traveling at 600 mph, if anything a smaller fighter would be in bigger danger from the airliners wingtip vortexs.

They keep well apart anyway so no worries.

[Robbie Garrett]

Well....whatever the object was, it certainly wasn't the helicopter the MOD was after. As this chopper is black!!

Strange weird noise in the sky Bath England 12th April 2012

Here's a video of the same noise being recorded in the Netherlands 12 hours earlier

Booming noises have also been heard in Clintonville, Montello, and Baraboo Wisconsin USA

And now the "Mysterious Sound" has been heard/felt in San Diego too

All seems a bit odd....could this explain it ?

STRANGE SOUNDS IN SKY EXPLAINED BY SCIENTISTS

In our opinion, the source of such powerful and immense manifestation of acoustic-gravity waves must be very large-scale energy processes. These processes include powerful solar flares and huge energy flows generated by them, rushing towards Earth's surface and destabilizing the magnetosphere, ionosphere and upper atmosphere. Thus, the effects of powerful solar flares: the impact of shock waves in the solar wind, streams of corpuscles and bursts of electromagnetic radiation are the main causes of generation of acoustic-gravitation waves following increased solar activity.

Intensification of the energy processes in the Earth's core can modulate the geomagnetic field which, through a chain of physical processes at the ionosphere - atmosphere boundary level, generates acoustic-gravity waves the audible range of which has been heard by people in the form of a frightening low-frequency sound in different parts of our planet.

In both cases, even though the causes of acoustic-gravity waves are of a quite understandable geophysical nature, they are indicative of the expected significant increase in solar activity and the geodynamic activity of our planet. There is no doubt that processes in the core rule the internal energy of our planet, therefore, we should expect by the end of 2012 a sharp rise in strong earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and extreme weather events with peak levels in 2013 - 2014.

Sounds a lot like a high performance military jet if you ask me, but hey what do I know??

[cloudsabove]

Sorry reposting from different thread:

Question: what was that sound?

Mods please post to correct thread if anyone is interested

(beg pardon - have just read your post snow raven, sorry to perhaps post in wrong area but this is my region

Last Wednesday 25 or Thursday 26 evening 9pm ish, heard a low rumble, but with defined boom type noises. I thought it was fireworks though noted it sounded bigger and more booming (like a big gun) than small cracks of fireworks. It went away (as far as I could tell while in the house) but then repeated, so I rushed outside. Once outside I immediately looked up, clear sky, medium height jet on approach to Stansted or similar (thought it was having problems actually). The rumble continued with another two big booms, and it sounded high up, large, and even like distant explosions.

Thought it was odd, but didn't think anything more until parents, who live a couple of miles away higher up out of the valley where I am, said they heard it. Father said he looked on radar but saw no lightning traces on there. Having said that, he may have looked at the wrong time or the radar hadn't picked anything up.

I thought all the storms had passed into non existence by 9pm which is roughly when the sound was. Question: could sound travel that strongly, if there were no storms generate that sound, where did it come from, and did anyone else hear it? It may simply have been thunder, but I am interested to know how sound would travel as I thought no storms were around at that time. Was there a large cell near London and could sound have travelled from there.

Edit:

having just done a bit of research, and referring to the Brit Geo Survey site who recorded reports from general public about boom/rumbles, it seems the Ministry of Defence confirmed it was Typhoons breaking the sound barrier on 12 April.

http://www.earthquak...ire_120412.html

I know there were at least a couple of Typhoons in the area last Tuesday 24 due to accompanying an AWACS aircraft for a flyover in London. I saw them returning/heading towards Wattisham during that day, perhaps they had an overnight stop etc. Could it have been them finally leaving and breaking the sound barrier? Twice at night?

Why are people still wondering about what happened that evening?

It was confirmed as 2 jets being scrambled after a helicopter was on the wrong frequency and the jets, whether rightly

or wrongly by the pilots, broke the speed of sound.

On 24/25th though, did perhaps the same thing happen ie. sonic boom at night? I'm not aware jets are allowed to do that at night etc but >shrugs shoulders<

The thing is it's not just that evening, or just in the UK these noises have supposedly been heard all over the world, it depends what you want to believe as to what they could be....

... either it’s "the apocalypse trumpets indicating the end of the world" (see here http://forum.netweat...-doomsday-2012/ )

......HAARP....

.....some military EMP device being tested...

.....the mother ship coming back to get us....

......or the liquid iron core of the Earth is spinning at a different rate than the planet's rotation and the slippage is causing a measurable migration of the Earth's magnetic field.
