Sonic boom captured on doorbell camera

The explosion-like sound of a sonic boom was recorded by a doorbell camera.

The footage was captured in Bourne, Lincolnshire, on Wednesday night after RAF Typhoon fighter aircraft flew overhead.

People reported hearing a loud bang in parts of Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire at about 21:30 BST.

A sonic boom is the noise of shockwaves created when an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound.
