Hello Walter, That recording is a real piece of meteorite history. While we have video of several falls (Peekskill, Park Forest, etc.) we we don't have many with sound. Remember that part of the Bovedy fall went through the roof of a house as well.
Besides thanking the woman who made the recording, we have to thank Rob E. in England who tracked down the recording and posted it on the web from where the rest of us have borrowed it. When I listen to the recording, I think I can hear at least 6 sonic booms, but the latter ones might be echos. Any thoughts from the acoustic physicists out there? For added enjoyment, there are a couple pics of the Bovedy slice I got from Bob Haag featured in my Accretion Desk article in the Meteorite Times. http://www.meteorite-times.com/Back_Links/2005/August/Accretion_Desk.htm Bovedy is a real beauty! Extremely fresh L3 chondrites are rare. Cheers, Martin On 5/7/06, Walter Branch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I can't remember if I or someone else posted this in the past (or not) but I was going through my list of favorite sites and found this one from the Montreal Planetarium. Near the bottom of the page you can hear a recoding of the sonic booms from the Bovedy meteorite http://www.planetarium.montreal.qc.ca/Information/Expo_Meteorites/Chutes/chute_00_a.htmlThesite itself is nice. If you click on the Honours link on at the bottomleftof the opening page on meteorites,http://www.planetarium.montreal.qc.ca/Information/Expo_Meteorites/index_a.htmlyou will find nice pictures and descriptions of several meteoritesincludingaudio files of the pronunciation of the meteorite, including somedifficult(at least for me) ones such as L'Aigle!Kinda neat.-Walter Branch ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
