Residents in Willowbrook, Danseholme, Oakley Vale, Beanfield, Newark, and Kingswood all reported hearing the loud noise.

Some speculated that it was a firework while others said it was too loud to be a firework.

One resident said: "That is no way a firework more like a car being burnt and the tank exploding."

Another person added: "It's gotta be more than firework if it's being heard up Danesholme, Willowbrook and Beanfield."

Another Corby resident said they had seen a firework too.
