Hello Bob Gardner,
You mentioned everything about evidences related to a sound produced from a
meteor. Otherwise, for me, it has more to be with an earthquake of 2,5 or
2.8 in Richter scale, then any other fact prior to earthgrazer and/or comet.
Meanwhile, why do not you get in touch with local authorities concerning to
ground researches before stating that this or that was provinient from a
meteor, for example.
Great report!!!
