Re: (meteorobs) Fireballs & sonic booms
George,
It is hardly admissible to reject an observation on the grounds that it
dosn't fit a speculative theory. All that can be said is that it is
inconsistent, and to me the number of such sightings acts as strong
evidence against the current theory. The time difference between the ears
is way too short for electromagnetic radiation to be directly picked up
by the inner ear and transduction in the local environment is inconsistent
with the directionality of the sounds.
