Loud bangs that sounded like "explosions" were heard right across Merseyside during the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Many people were quick to jump onto social media around midnight after they were woken up to "unusually loud bangs".
People in Halewood said they heard the noise after their homes were "shaking", and people in Liverpool, Knowsley, St Helens and even Wirral were quick to say they too heard the noise.
