Loud Boom

[carlton23]

Last evening whilst watching TV, a very loud Boooom was emitted from somewhere which shook my house, and which made my O/H and I think a bomb or cannon had fired outside in my garden. This same thing has occurred twice before in the last two years and the only thing I can think of that causes it is our `Blue-Ray` Player.
What is your opinion please? TIA.

Do you live in St Osyth?

[carlton23]

Ahh so....No

[EDDIE51]

Where do you live ? any military air bases nearby ?

[emmie]

presumably your blue ray player is indoors? so if you heard a boom and it was outside, why not ask the neighbours?

[tonyav]

carlton, do you live anywhere near a military airbase ?.

[JonnyBoy12]

No, it just you tummy rumbling with hunger. You should try to eat proper meals.

Could it have been lightning grounding? It makes a heck of a boom if it grounds nearby.

Cornwall? The Navy were shelling today off in the Fal.....

[SeaJayPea]

Could it have been a sonic boom caused by a military aircraft exceeding the sound barrier?

[emmie]

still don't get what it's got to do with the blu ray player

[baza]

Did you fart?

My first thought was 'Sonic Boom', though I'd never heard one before.
Oddly enough, though, I was outside at 23:15 this evening and heard a loud echoing double-boom, which faded into a low rumble and died away. Never heard this sort of noise before, and I wonder if it was also one.
I was watching something going west to east high up (roughly mid-Wales).

Some Blue Ray Player you have if it shakes the house.

Sonic Boom or nearby Lightning Strike are the most possible explanations.

Do as em10 has suggested..... "if you heard a boom and it was outside, why not ask the neighbours?"

I also heard a similar loud boom whilst on holiday near Sutton on Sea Lincs a few nights ago ..........

It turns out that the bang I heard last night was a meteor exploding over Cwmbran (SE Wales).
