News Report "Sonic Boom" Norfolk.

From Norwich Evening News 24.

Riddle of the late night rumblings that caused a sonic boom in Norfolk.

Mystery surrounds what made the earth tremble across Norfolk in a bizarre late-night phenomenon.

Experts and amateurs alike believe a sonic boom – triggered by a meteorite or aircraft – caused strange tremors to shake homes and spook pets.

The rattling was reported by people across the county, including Norwich, North Walsham, Gayton, Belton, Cringleford and South Lopham at about 10.30pm on Tuesday.

Jonathan Larter, from Sprowston, said: “I was just going to bed and the house started shaking and doors rumbling as if the wind was blowing through the windows, but they weren’t open. I thought it was a ghost outside knocking on my door because I live near a cemetery.”
