Hi Chris and List, Chris writes: "In the end, I take almost everything reported by witnesses with a strong dose of skepticism."
.. which can readily be supported by what these eyewitnesses had to say with regard to the duration (in seconds) of the thunderous noise: - all of a sudden the sky turned bright and there was a brief thunder => brief - unmistakably a thunderous noise => 5 seconds - a pretty loud thunder was to be heard for ca. 10-25 seconds => 10-25 seconds Would a *multiple breakup* of the incoming meteoroid have a crucial "impact" on the respective parameters of the potential fall, or, in simple words, could a multiple disintegration of the meteoroid help in explaining the broadly diverging eyewitness reports?
