Title: Sonic boom 'tied up' Cambridgeshire 999 resources, police say
Post by: mhm on June 06, 2014, 01:20:48 PM
Forty people called 999 reporting the noise at about 13:00 BST on Thursday, and a further 120 people called the non-emergency 101 number.

A sonic boom is created as an aircraft breaks the sound barrier.

The MoD said Typhoons from RAF Coningsby were responding to a report that a civilian aircraft had lost radio contact with air traffic control
