Did you hear a loud bang in the sky this Wednesday? This is the reason why...
The extremely loud noises were heard on several occasions and in numerous locations
This Wednesday October 16, a number of loud noises were heard over the skies of the Region of Murcia. Residents of Murcia city, Molina de Segura, Alcantarilla and Santomera (among others) have been disturbed by noises that have occurred several times.
This time it is not an earthquake disrupting the area, as many have believed it to be. Instead, the noises came as a result of military aircraft carrying out various manoeuvres over the skies.
The aircraft that is breaking the sound barrier and causing several scares is said to be a KC-390 Millennium. It left this morning from the Getafe air base in Madrid to carry out these manoeuvres in the skies over Murcia.
However, this is not the only aircraft to have flown over the Region this morning. Another plane from the Patrulla Águila also did the same, after taking off from the San Javier air base to fly several times over the same area as the one that left Madrid.
