Mystery surrounds a sonic-boom type noise heard over Dorset.
People took to social media to post recordings of the loud bang heard shortly before 3.00pm on Saturday.
Mike McDaid from Owermoigne near Dorchester captured the boom on a security camera.
He said: "I was out in the garden and the noise was tremendous."
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson told The Mirror newspaper that the bang was not believed to be linked to any RAF planes.
There has been speculation it could have been a meteor entering the earth's atmosphere.
The British Geological Survey ruled out an earthquake.
