Hundreds of people have heard a loud explosion believed to be a sonic boom across central England.
The ground was reportedly shaking and houses were rocked as far south as Oxford as well as 70 miles north in Leicester at around 12.15pm today.
Social media plane spotters suggested it may have been a fighter jet responding to an emergency call by a Air Ambulance calling for a medical evacuation.
Leicestershire Police said: ‘We have received numerous calls in relation to a large explosion sound heard from various parts of the city and county.
‘We like to reassure you that there is no concern however thank you for your immediate response to us.’
The mystery begins…
