Bengaluru was once again rocked by a loud sound on Friday, in what is the third such incident in three years. While the last one in May 2020 was confirmed to be a sonic boom by the Defence Department, the mystery remains as to what caused this loud sound.
Of course, netizens have their own theories and memes for everything, and the Bengaluru boom was no exception.
Here's how the Bengalureans reacted to it:
Not the aliens
Interestingly, July 2 is World UFO Day, and a mysterious loud sound on this day was enough for this particular Twitterati.

That annual Bengaluru ritual where a loud sound shakes window panes and doors, which would late be identified as #SonicBoom, just happened. I’d like to believe it’s just someone farting with loudspeakers on. 😒

And no boom meme is incomplete without the famous Tony Stark T-pose from the first Iron Man film.

And then there is the crowd that dug up Hrithik Roshan-starrer Koi Mil Gaya, which featured an alien.

For some reason, The Great Khali was at the centre of this meme game.

But at least one person asserted it was a sonic boom.
Guys chill...😂 The loud boom everyone heard was a #SonicBoom. I was out when I heard it myself at 12:20 PM. I also heard a jet fly by and @flightradar24 didn't show up any aircraft in the vicinity and so there's high probability that it's a military sortie.#BangaloreBoom
