People in Bude took to social media to question what the sound of an 'explosion' was at around midday today (Wednesday 10 February).
A spokesperson from the Royal Air Force has now confirmed that it was a sonic boom caused by one of their jets.
Walls shook at Bude resident Avril Greenaway's house.
Hundreds of people reported experiencing the sonic boom on social media.
The RAF said the aircrafts were training around 25 miles off the coast and that the ‘climatic conditions’ may have been a factor in the sonic boom being heard so far inland.
