Shock waves are spherically radiating from a central point in a detonation. In the meteor case, it is radiating from a moving point along a line. You hear smaller shock waves after the main bang because of the larger distance between you and the rest of the meteor path. Those sounds come late

I agree with Mike, That first video on part two is fake. It's really obvious to me. One of the main interests to me about this event is the artillery sounding "reports" after the main explosion. They go on and on. What causes those? Are those sounds pieces breaking up/exploding after the mai

The first one is not Chebarkul. Not sure what it is. Perhaps a close up of a cruise missile test, or rocket launch? Sent from my iPad On Feb 21, 2013, at 3:52 PM, "Galactic Stone & Ironworks" wrote: > Hi Mike, > > Are you referring to video #7? (the first one in the "Part Two" post) > > If

Hi Mike and List, My first thought when I saw it was : wow, this is unique, because none of the other videos show the bolide up close like that. Now it appears there was a good reason this video didn't match the others - because it's not the same event. Thanks for the heads-up. Best regards, M

Hi Mike, Are you referring to video #7? (the first one in the "Part Two" post) If so, I take your word on it - you are far more experienced at this than I. Can anyone else comment on this one? Is it indeed a fake or the wrong event? If so, please chime in so I can strike it from the list. Go
