Rob,

Very cool. It sounded like an L3 to me.

Thanx for sharing,

John

  Hi List,

  when I returned from the States on Thursday evening, there was a =
package waiting for me containing an audio tape of the Bovedy meteorite =
fall. It's pretty cool, so I thought you might want to hear it for =
yourselves.
  It was recorded on 25th April 1969, in County Londonderry, Northern =
Ireland - a woman was recording bird song just as the 5.4kg Bovedy (L3) =
meteorite fell, and she caught the detonations through her microphone. =
The booms and rumblings echo around for several seconds after the first =
detonation, and a spooked dog starts to bark soon after (the Bovedy =
Dog??).

  The fun starts at around 34 seconds into the track, which you can =
download at
  http://fernlea.tripod.com/bovedy.wav

  It's always nice to see what caused it, so here's a picture of my =
Bovedy slice

  Thanks to Derek Heatly and the Planetarium for the original recording!

  Cheers,
  Rob Elliott.
