Sonic Boom

A rolling boom, which might have been a jet passing through the sound barrier, shook Kilchoan just before 4.00pm this afternoon.  There was plenty of air activity at the time.  Reports are coming in that it was heard as far away as Glenborrodale and Acharacle.

  1. We also heard this but were in Barcaldine on Loch Creran at the time.Sounded like an explosion then heard aircraft noise afterwards.
