Unidentified explosion in Bacau

A strong blow was heard yesterday morning in the area of the 
Comanesti city, in Bacau County, but authorities were unable 
to explain what caused the sound that was heard from tens of 
kilometers around the town.

Comanesti Mayor Viorel Miron said he believed the blow was a 
result of the activity of the nearby mining exploitation, but 
the checks revealed that was not true, as the mining companies 
said the explosion was not caused by them.

The head of the police in the nearby town of Moinesti, Gelu 
Margina, also said the mining or the oil exploitation in the 
area did not announce any incidents.

Such situations occurred when a strong plane exceeded a 
certain height and is called a sonic boom, said Margina.

However, the air units in the county did not announce any 
incident.

In our base there were no flights starting with Wednesday and 
there are no flights on the civil airport, either, said the 
public relations officer from the 95 Air Base in Bacau, Gelu 
Miron. He added that an army helicopter searched the area but 
found nothing to prove there has been an explosion.

Viorel Miron said that locals recounted that a weird noise was 
heard before the explosion, like a large object falling from 
the sky.  Some even talked about a meteorite having caused the 
blow, said Miron.

Hi list

The boom was heard over few hundred kilometers across
Bacau, Neamt, Vrancea and Harghita districts.
There were some eye witnesses seing the meteorite falling
in a forrest nearby Comanesti. I spoked with my friends
from the local astronomy club and a team is curently searching
the area to find the meteorite. I'll go there after the Easter to
help hunting. I'll come back with news asap.
