Baffled social media users have reported hearing a ‘very loud boom’ that felt like a ‘big explosion’ which has been heard for miles around this afternoon (March 4). Believed to have been caused by a military jet, emergency services have confirmed it’s nothing ‘to be concerned about’.
Shocked people across the Leicestershire area and beyond heard the huge noise shortly after midday today.
Leicestershire Fire control confirmed they heard the boom in Leicester but that fire stations in Market Harborough and Melton had also felt it, suggesting it was a plane rather than an explosion.
