;) knew you would be interested Nettie , shame it hit the atmosphere over England , not here it would have been great to see , what do ya think ? .

Yeah did notice that....... Maybe the sonic boom happened before the video started. But then again, if it was that close, he could have/should have heard something if it was a meteorite.
If it was space junk, what would be the colour of the trail?
Maybe that is the determining factor?

:) I was working under my sweet old VF Valiant Regal making its exaust sound cool when an atmospheric grazer came in over the Pacific ocean and hit the atmosphere above Whakatane NZ at about 4pm local time ( it was day light , and they recond if it had struck at night it would have been as bright as the noon day SUN !!:help: mag -26 ) and skipped over NZ in about 2 miniutes and bounced back into space ( lucky Sydney , Brisbane , and the east coast of Australia this was heading your way ) in about 1998ish ? and the sonic boom :help: was the loudest thing I have ever heard , I banged my head on the floor of the VF ,and I really thought my 45 kg LPG cylinder at my house 100metres away had blowen up :shrug: . That Noisey .
Any one else remember this grazer?
