A mysterious loud “boom” heard across Perth’s southern suburbs on Wednesday has been confirmed to have been a high powered Singapore Air Force jet that was flying off the coast.
Southern suburbs residents were left perplexed as to what caused a loud and mysterious “explosion” that rattled windows and spooked pets on Wednesday morning.
Thousands of comments flooded social media with reports of a loud “boom” just after 11am, with one woman telling The West Australian she felt as if the sound came from the ocean.
