Loud boom heard at 23:55

Author: 18 March 2008

i was just woken up by a loud boom, sounded a bit like thunder. my dogs went nuts outside so i know it wasn’t a dream or a figment of my imagination. I also heard what i believe to be the same loud rumble a few days ago, cant remember the day or time but it was earlier in the evening. If you have also heard this noise please comment stating the date/time and your location.
