Curious... I know there are many variables involved, and it probably
varies with the conditions under which each event occurs, but I've read
that some people have heard sonic booms (as low boom/rumbles) up to 50
miles away or more.
Couldn't one figure out that distance by calculating altitude of any
given bolide and air pressure/temp during the time of the event, (since
it affects the sound waves at different elevations) to determine how far
from the epicenter someone could here the sonic boom?
I'm seriously curious about this.
Regards,
Eric

I'd be very interested to know if people beyond the heavy end of these falls
heard the sonic boom?

Hello Sonny, Steve, and List,

many in the area"

"... Garza said he was in bed when he heard his
dog barking and what sounded like *thunder*."
"We all heard a *sound* about two minutes after. It was
like a *sonic boom*."
Best wishes from the happy owner of five gorgeous Park
Forest
meteorites, all of which were kindly given to me by Steve
Witt
and are, of course, still in my collection where they will
stay
for good! Steve, thank you once again for these beauties!
Bernd
