Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Season 4... Just old dungeons and new ilvl?
MMO-Champion
Edit Update: Officially announced it was a couple of Typhoon aircraft responding to an emergency that broke the sound barrier.

My thoughts are it's possibly something geological, though we aren't near any plate boundaries so the chances of that are very remote. Sonic boom has been ruled out by the airport.
It also covered a huge radius (I personally heard it in Swindon and it shook my house's windows and my chair).
Any ideas/thoughts on what it could be?

Could it have been a jet that went a little too fast?

Aliens.
=o]
On a serious note, Didnt a similar thing happen in a small town, earlier this month? The people were recording the loud bangs/booms and no one could figure out where they were coming from or what they were. I dont recall if it was in the USA or the UK. I wonder if it has anything to do with all the crazy earth quakes in the past couple of days.
I wonder whats going on with the earth?!

OT: However I would be very curious to see what it would be... if they figure out post it here!

Maybe another X project gone wrong (or right!), but I don't think they test them near there.
Meh sounds like a plane to me.

possibly an air-burst from a meteorite. There's that one that flattened a HUGE area of forest a few years back. We perhaps got lucky in this case and it fell apart higher in the atmosphere.
Alternatively:

We'll have to wait to know what it was until the History Channel explains how it was an alien time traveler trying to leave Atlantis.
