A sonic boom caused a series of tremors that rattled windows and shook buildings along a 25-mile stretch of coast yesterday, earthquake experts have concluded. A sonic boom caused a series of tremors that rattled windows and shook buildings along a 25-mile stretch of coast yesterday, earthquake experts have concluded.
Seismologists from the British Geological Survey said a large number of tremors had been reported from Scarborough to Whitby in North Yorkshire, where residents complained of a “bang, a boom and a rumble”.Glenn Ford, a seismologist for the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh, who was tracking the tremors, said: “We have checked all our systems and have concluded that it was not an earthquake.”All the evidence that we have at the moment is pointing to a sonic boom, which can travel hundreds of kilometres if it is not impeded and can cause buildings to shake, windows to rattle and a loud bang.”Describing the latest reports as “classic symptoms” of a sonic boom, Mr Ford said contact had been made with military officials and the air force to confirm the details of the tremors. “A sonic boom travels like a wave; it propagates out and when it reaches the mainland it hits buildings and rattles the windows.”The last sonic boom to hit the mainland was reported in November 1997, when 16 F3 Tornado aircraft were flying off the coast of Hartlepool.Mr Ford said there were various reasons for a sonic boom.

“Nine times out of 10 it’s an aircraft which causes it but it may also be a meteorite.”Residents of Scarborough said the tremors, which continued for a few seconds, happened at about 11.40am. A spokesman for the council said: “The council building went up and down, as did other buildings in the area. I have spoken to other people and they all experienced something similar.”Hopefully it will turn out to be something of nothing. We are liaising with the county council, the police and we are gathering any information that comes to hand, and then we will obviously react to whatever we receive.”.
