But how can a sonic boom be heard at the same volume in Coventry and Swindon at the same time? Makes no sense.

WHat time was this at? Was driving home from work with Richard Ashcroft blasting out of the CD,thought my speakers were playing up or my already leaky exhuast had got even noisier.
Did anyone hear the people ringing into CWR about it? I think some were being serious with their concerns about an alien invasion! If the great leap of making contact with a civilisation from across the galaxy had just happened did they really think Malcolm Boyden would be the one breaking the story!
it was like a double boom where i am. Some facebook rumours saying a house has exploded in radford according to a mate.
I'm near Bell Green and opened my door thinking someone was outside bashing on it
First post on here.
According to BBC CWR it was a typhoon fighter breaking the sound barrier over Warwickshire.
Welcome.
I'm still not convinced about the explanation: if you could hear something in Cov also in Swindon, surely you'd be able to hear it the same distance in other directions, depending of course on the "epicentre" of the bang? So why not also in say Birmingham or Northampton?
Some reports say "a series of loud bangs" though, so we don't know if we're talking about the same bang being heard in Swindon as in Coventry. In which case...have we got a series of bangs as a plane breaks the sound barrier, slows down a bit, does it again, and so on? Or is it just one loud MF ban echoing?
I looked at a few Youtube vids of sonic booms, and tbf, you might hear it 5 miles away, but no way 40!
Parsons, where was the person you were on the phone to?

Middle earth itself mate....Beduff.
I heard Ian ring in to claim the the bang was quite dissapointing in his eyes and felt that we should have scrambled four jets as two would not have been appropriate to take on a helicopter full of explosives.
A Coventry resident said " I thought somebody had thrown a brick through the window "!. Yep a typical thursday evening in the sky blue city
Learnt something new tonight in learning what a sonic boom is!
just a thought but could it be linked into rehearsing the security response for the Olympics ?
Typhoon jets do not fly at over Mach1 over land........ unless they are heading to intercept a threat.
