Rob,
Very cool. It sounded like an L3 to me.
Thanx for sharing,
John

Subject: [meteorite-list] Sounds of the
Bovedy fall
Hi List,
when I returned from the States on Thursday
evening, there was a package waiting for me containing an audio tape of the
Bovedy meteorite fall. It's pretty cool, so I thought you might want to hear
it for yourselves.
It was recorded on 25th April 1969, in County
Londonderry, Northern Ireland - a woman was recording bird song just as the
5.4kg Bovedy (L3) meteorite fell, and she caught the detonations through her
microphone. The booms and rumblings echo around for several seconds after the
first detonation, and a spooked dog starts to bark soon after (the Bovedy
Dog??).
The fun starts at around 34 seconds into the track, which you
can download at

It's always
nice to see what caused it, so here's a picture of my Bovedy
slice

Thanks to Derek Heatly
and the Planetarium for the original recording!
Cheers,
Rob
Elliott.
