Similarly, there was a sonic boom over our area in 2016, I kinda knew what it was having an interest in military aircraft but twitter was on fire about an explosion in our area and the military base itself responded with information on what was happening.

Turned out it was Euro fighter typhoons responding to a commercial flight that lost coms.
