My Mom called me earlier this evening to ask if I had heard a boom. She said that people were saying there might have been an earthquake as some windows rattled. I didn't hear anything. My son vaguely remembers a boom. But, he thought it might be the neighbors making their usual ruckus.
Of course, it wasn't long until people were posting on Facebook. The best that can be pieced together is that a meteor passed near us, creating a sonic boom. No meteorite has been found yet. Of course, everybody is having fun with the incident, meshing it together with the recent UFO shootdowns. Even the local bar is recommending celebrate surviving the invasion with a beer.
Local officials have put out press releases to indicate that they are investigating. But how do you investigate a meteor fall? I guess you follow the trail of zombies or look out for a huge blob.
It will probably be a good idea to be more aware of what's happening around you until you know for sure. No lengthy looking at your phone or you might get got.
That would be tragic.
Reminds me of the sonic boom when the shuttle exploded. I was in the shower when it happened. I didn't hear it, because my head was under the shower at the time, but I sure felt it and almost lost my balance. My husband heard it.
I, too, thought it was an earthquake until we heard what had happened.
My sister called, because her son, who was a budding scientist (quite young at the time, but very interested in all things science) wanted her to find out if we heard it and how it sounded and just our experience (we lived in the Dallas, TX, area, they were living in Wisconsin).
That was truly a sad day.
I don't typically know much about astronaut crews. But, I do feel sad when we lose them.
I believe that many didn't know much about astronaut crews when that happened, but everyone knew about that crew after the accident. I know I didn't know anything about them, either. But the picture of the crew before they left was shown all over the place that everyone at least knew what they looked like.
