This is not the first time that such an incident has taken place in the city. In July this year, several residents in the areas of Sarjapur, JP Nagar, Benson Town, Ulsoor, ISRO layout and HSR layout said that they heard a loud ‘thud’ and a 'boom' sound. Some residents even said that their windows were rattled by the sound. While there was speculation that the sound could have been a ‘sonic boom’ generated by a fighter jet flying over the city, neither the police nor Air Force offered an explanation at the time. The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) had said that none of its flights made the noise. The sound was heard in areas like Cooke Town, Vivek Nagar, Ramamurthy Nagar, Hosur Road, HAL, Old Madras Road, Ulsoor, Kundanahalli, Kammanahalli, CV Raman Nagar, Whitefield and HSR Layout. A similar ‘boom’ sound was heard in Bengaluru in May last year. The Indian Air Force later confirmed that it was made by a Sukhoi 30. A sonic boom is the result of an object moving faster than the speed of sound, which travels at 343 metres per second in the air. The phenomenon creates shock waves in the atmosphere, which in turn leads to the loud sound being produced.
