RE: (meteorobs) Fireball Observed in Spanish Skies
I generally give 6 seconds per mile for the sound of lightening (its
thunder) to reach me.
When observing a fireball, would it be feasible to stand quietly for 3 or 4
minutes or more to listen for sound from something that could be a great
number of miles away.
In fact for every 10 miles, that would be about 1 minute.
Does anyone know the greatest distance from a fireball, or meteor, that
'acoustic' sound has been heard ?
