A freak "boom" in the middle of the night set off car alarms and woke residents. Student Jason North, 23, was one of several people to be disturbed by the noise heard along the south coast in the Peacehaven area at 1am today.
"It was like a sonic boom. It sounded a long way off but it made enough force to make the car alarms go off" - Mr North, from Telscombe Cliffs.
