It's my understanding that sounds can be determined at path heights of less
than about 40 miles. Therefore, a fireball producing sounds would fit into
the NASA plane parameters, but I doubt we would see/hear a fireball at 50
miles in height. This may reduce slightly the "response time." But this is
from someone who has never heard one! :)
