BGS ALERT: CONFIRMED SONIC EVENTS NORTH WALES 23 AUGUST 2007 11:00 & 13:30 UTC

BGS has received several reports from members of the public and the Media of events between 11:00 and 11:20 UTC and again between 13:30 and 13:45 UTC today (23 August), from the Angelsey and Bangor areas of Gwynedd, North Wales. Reports describe "the windows rattled" and "the house shook". Data from the BGS rapid-access networks in the region were examined and no tectonic seismic events were detected. However, the reports received are consistent with historical observations received for previous events with a sonic origin.
British Aerospace was contacted and has confirmed that a Typhoon Euro-fighter was on supersonic exercises over the Irish Sea at these times, and that the aircraft went supersonic within the two time windows reported.
