Now that we have more people on the meteor observers list, I'd like to repeat
a question that I asked earlier and got no responses.  Perhaps I will get no
response on this try either?  Anyhow, meteoroids that reaches about 30 miles
altitude will produce sonic booms.  My question is this: What is the minimum
mass for the meteor to be in order to produce a sonic boom?  It's not an
important question I guess, but it's something that's been bugging me for
quite some while.
