Another small asteroid/meteoroid event.Cool! Watch the video on the link you posted and today have read many accounts.Seems to me early on in the accounts that this was meteor type event.An earth-grazer?As to the Naval observatory's comments to what was observed based on no more than the SL4 rocket body having a predicted  pass over the area nearest to the time of this event.Look at the pass times for this rocket body over the effected area and nearly two hours before the forecasted decay.Also look at the direction the object is believed to have been traveling and the direction of SL4 pass over the area.I think bad judgment on their part to say anything.Also last time I heard of any space junk causing an acoustic event was the space station Mir reentry of the South Pacific.I cannot recall even one report of an acostic event with Star Dust when it came back.Please correct me if I am wrong in the view that acostic event from decaying space junk are very
 rare.
I have already seen the postings on this event going around that this was a government experiment and cover up,we were being attacked by ?,and the Aliens are a coming.Really funny.
