G'day all,

I'm starting to think this was a fairly big show! I've received an email =
from someone who lives some 500km SW of Townsville and witnessed the =
event also. They even felt the booms. I might add they sent the email =
within 2 hours of the event (long before they could have read anything =
from the media) and described everything pretty well. Hopefully there =
could be some material coming out of this one. Pity it has to stay in =
Australia! ;-)

Cheers,

Jeff Kuyken

  There's a good chance that a meteorite hit the ground with this =
fireball, but the "shook buildings..." effect was most likely airborne =
sonics caused by the objects passing thru the atmosphere.
