The waters around that coast are teeming with bombs and (non-beach variety) shells and all manner of war hardware that periodically washes up on shore or turns up in fisherman's nets. They are collected by bomb disposal teams who gather them together, float them into the channel / estuary and do a controlled explosion. I too used to wonder what those huge earth shaking distant booms were. My favourite explanation was that it was "quarrying" - those world famous North Sea underwater quarries... That is what came to mind as soon as I read the headline.
Why would it be at 9pm though? Because it's the busiest shipping lane in the world and they have to time it according to all the other traffic.
I might be wrong, but it's not something the authorities would advertise: "we regularly gather together an enormous pile of bomb-stuff in the world's busiest shipping lane" might attract the wrong sort of interest.
Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
I forgot about the Montgomerybomb. It's a bit difficult to hide, mind you. That would be an impressive boom, with the added extra of prettifying nearby Sheerness.
