I like the photo in this article.
'Earthquake' reported in north of England... but experts say buildings were shaken by sonic boom of a PLANE | Mail Online
What are the 6 white circles ?

Wasn't me gov. The only bit that goes near supersonic is the blade tip......
I don't know the date having not read the article but on balance of probability, the crate I was flying probably went u/s in dispersal anyway.

Rubbish reporting! IF the event was caused by 2 a/c going supersonic at the same time AND while pointing inland at 1515 WTF has the photo of contrails taken later at dusk got to do with anything? A sonic boom is only a rumble if far away, and while it can damage buildings it can't "move the earth" SFAIK.

Damn, there goes the formation flying saucer formation theory then...
This event is reported (albeit by the Daily Mail) as a "Massive" sonic boom; do they come in differing magnitudes if you have multi-aircraft formations simutaneously going through the sound barrier?

In the response part of MailOnline Dave from Hastings writes:
Made me chuckle anyway.
I don't know if it was Aliens, but shortly after those sonic booms were heard up North, a circular vehicle landed in my back garden. Two beings emerged and enquired if there were any B&B's locally, on phoning around it transpired they were full, so we put them up for the night. They are very partial to a good fry up and are tucking into every bit of food we have available. I explained that there was reports in the news about eating too much of processed food as it would give them cancer. They replied they had been visiting Earth for many years and scoffing all the stuff these scaremongers say isn't good for you and it hasn't done them any harm. They have heard Spain is suffering and bargains to be had, so they are off there later as they have a few Euro's left from the last visit there and want shot of them before the currency collapses. PS. they say it's true about the Mayan predictions and advise everyone to not bother stocking up on food etc' and to have an early Xmas.

I was reported as a "Flying Saucer" whilst night flying from Acklington back in 1966. Mind you it was "Chucking Out time" in the Pubs and Clubs in Newcastle. I spent half a day filling in a series of Forms in respect of the " Sighting".

Used to regularly get booms dropped over Gutersloh in the mid 80's. Normaly the TRA was filled with the drone of the Dorniers from Wunstorf(?). OCNL Dutch F-16's would pitch up, get a bit sporty & in rememberance of old times drop a boom on Westphalia and scoot off home to Twente

That's better! Military demonstrating their presence in the defence of NATO, no structural damage, and no snivelling civilians ringing the police and Gemeinde to complain!
