Police probe mystery boom
A mystery boom which shook an area is being investigated by the police.
The ear-splitting noise happened on the Devon and Cornwall border between Bude and Holsworthy around noon, according to local people.
Bude householder Anne Kyle said that after the "frightening'' noise, a hairline crack in a wall in her home had widened.
Mechanic Barry Burrow said his workshop vibrated and he had a headache for two hours afterwards.
No one was injured by the big bang, which is being investigated by Devon and Cornwall police.
"One theory being considered is perhaps a military aircraft has broken the sound barrier a little too close to the land and that has caused this
sonic boom and this, in turn, caused some light damage around the north Cornwall area,'' a police spokesman told the BBC.
Western Power Distribution said engineers had completed checks and found no faults with its systems.
The Ministry of Defence and the RAF said there were no records of their aircraft flying over the area.
The Civil Aviation Authority said it was also unaware of the cause.
The British Geological Survey had no signals from their instruments in the area.

Could this be some secret plane??? Surely a sonic boom would not do that much damage?????????
