A sonic growth is assumed to have hit Lancashire, Cheshire, Manchester and Merseyside this morning.

Locals say their homes and home windows started to ‘violently shake’ at round 11am as we speak.

The phenomenon occurs when a loud explosive noise is brought on by the shock wave from an plane or different object travelling quicker than the pace of sound.

A Royal Air Pressure jet had been flying within the space across the time the ‘mini earthquake’ was reported.

The British Geological Survey has named it a ‘possible sonic occasion’.

They obtained quite a few studies from residents, primarily within the Lancashire space but in addition Merseyside, Higher Manchester and Cheshire.

Dozens took to social media to share their experiences as we speak, with one individual writing: ‘Actually sounded and felt like two pulses simply earlier than 11am.

‘Workshop roof was shaking and really deep rumbling. Home inside doorways on the transfer too apparently.’

One other stated: ‘Hello has there been a mini earth quake? My home and home windows have been shaken. I stay on Kenilworth.’

‘Heard it too in Ainsdale, I puzzled what the hell it was, gave the impression of somebody kicking the doorways in’, another person added.

An announcement from the BGS stated: ‘Knowledge from BGS seismic networks have been examined and indicators in keeping with a doable sonic origin have been recorded at the moment.’

British Aerospace confirmed they did have plane airborne on the time and two RAF plane however can't verify at the moment if any had gone supersonic.
