RE: (meteorobs) Fireballs & sonic booms



Jure: One of the brightest fireballs I have ever witnessed, seen on 
November 4, 1971, bright as the full moon, resulted in my reporting it to 
the late Dr. Oliver of the AMS.   He received two other reports on that 
fireball and was able to compute an orbit and the object's trajectory in 
the atmosphere.  He calculated that the object faded from view at an 
altitude of 55 km.  No sounds were heard other than the "gasps" of the 
group with which I was observing at the time.

We were observing within 100m of a 200m high radio transmission tower. 
  That should qualify as a "large metal object."  Perhaps the object did 
not penetrate the atmosphere deeply enough for it to emit electrophonic 
sounds.
