Loud explosion was not an aircraft!

Saw it on way back from work and it seemed to fit nicely with the bang like a ufo or meteorite going through it

I was outside at the time working on a rooftop and it was the loudest bang ive ever heard to the point i couldn't hear what my mate was saying next to me, but the bang was followed by a rumbling like a plane so i think they might be telling the truth this time, at first i thought my gaffer dropped his wallet!

no the ones that i have are plate/flat circlular in shape, they are white in colour and stand out against the dull sky. ill look in to how i get them on imageshak later tonight.

thanks for everyones help in my first post

Strange, was following this yesterday from around the time it happened in other threads, and several of us thought at the time that something else might be going on. I guess with it being such a widely reported thing we might eventually get some more pictures and/or witness accounts to back those up. Hopefully anyway.

Basically of the two QRA Typhoons, one was concentrated on a ''rocket shaped object'', the other on the helicopter. There are pictures and eye witnesses. This seems like a more valid supersonic QRA response, and makes much more sense. Now the question is the nature of the ''rocket shaped object''.

i didnt think the raf were allowed to fly supersonic speeds over land? concorde used to have to wait till it was a way over the sea before it did
