Military planes were spotted circling Liverpool's skies last night as RAF crews trained.
Confusion was caused as witnesses reported hearing "loud noise" last night, at about 10pm, as a training exercise was underway.
Liverpool John Lennon Airport Spotters reported it was a Royal Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon ZK329, from RAF Coningsby which caused a stir and prompted people to look out their window at the noise.
It claimed the aircraft performed a "touch and go," before "heading up to 25,000ft".
Joanne McDougall who heard it tweeted: "We wondered what that noise was, wish we'd looked out the window now."
A spokesman for Liverpool John Lennon Airport said after contacting air traffic control, he was able to confirm it was RAF crews training.
During lockdown a number of planes in the sky have attracted attention - perhaps because it has been so rare to see aircraft with advice against all but essential travel.
In April, a plane was spotted "zigzagging" over Liverpool during a strange flight path from Speke.
The Ravenair plane was also captured on a flight tracking app which showed how it crossed the city multiple times on Tuesday before returning to land at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
