Can you imagine a meteor SOUNDING like that when it hit? I mean, okay, if it blew into a bunch of pieces you'd hear a number of big thuds, whether it blew up by itself or was helped, but you'd also see the bits flying, would you not?

In the gif video you can see traces of smaller pieces after the explosion. Upon breaking up they slow down quickly and cool off to the point they no longer are visible. However they fall in a strewn field with the smaller, lighter pieces falling to the ground first with the larger pieces farther down the path of trajectory.
ReplyDeleteThis one blew up not far from here and although I didn't hear it, it is claimed it was heard from Fairfield all the way to Tahoe. People were finding pieces all over the place in Coloma, in parking lots and backyards.
Yeah. So how come we get videos with all those impact noises sounding right there...? I mean, I guess Russia has the highest density video camera coverage by the population of any nation on earth, but, well, how could so many of them be right under where the smaller bits were landing? Odd, also that the bigger blasts were first and then the smaller ones, because, yes, the smaller bits would drop first and the bigger ones be more inclined to keep on something like the original trajectory. So shouldn't it have been the smaller sounds first and the bigger ones after... and further away? I don't know. It just seems darn odd to me... especially since my big meteor encounter was so quiet. It was just a big fireball passing overhead. No noise.
ReplyDeleteThe sounds were of the objects exploding as well as sonic booms from them traveling faster then the speed of sound. I too have seen ones that made no sound, perhaps because they were much smaller, and I saw one a while back streaking straight down from my vantage point. It flared bright purple then pink before disappearing. I heard a modest baboom from that one about two minutes after seeing it. My guess is that any pieces of it landed somewhere just this side of Marysville. I never saw any reports of it in the news.
