Guesses ain't science. 
How did you estimate the elevation? What was the time interval to the sonic
boom?

Marco, It is a guess?  an educated hunch?  This event was massive; estimated
elevation 40-50,000 ft and approximately in line with the setting Sun at
25-30 degrees above the apparent horizon.  The Sun was obscured by heavy
overcast. I thought that I was in Dreamtime as I watched this with my jaws
gaping. 
Best Regards to you in Holland! and elsewhere.  Dirk...Tokyo
