Sonic boom over Herts and Essex triggers flood of 999 calls
A sonic boom heard across the Herts and Essex border area from an RAF jet has triggered a flood of 999 calls.
The explosive sound was heard at about 6.45pm across an area stretching from at least Harlow to the south of Stortford to Newport to the north.
Flights at Stansted Airport have been disrupted for about an hour.
At the time of the boom Jet2's flight LS1503 from Stansted to Dalaman in Turkey returned to the airport and no further flights in or out were made for about 30 minutes.
The Indie's Stansted reporter, Hollie Ryder, who lives in Rickling, said: "Our house shook! Villagers all came out their front doors and we were asking each other 'What the hell was that?'.
"Relatives in Great Hallingbury and Bury Green (Little Hadham) both phoned me asking did I hear that, and lots of questions are popping up on our village Facebook page."
Bishop's Stortford police tweeted: "Large number of 999 calls coming in about a loud explosion. We have liaised with @EssexPoliceUK who are confirming that this is a sonic boom from a passing aircraft."
