Hi list

The boom was heard over few hundred kilometers across
Bacau, Neamt, Vrancea and Harghita districts.
There were some eye witnesses seing the meteorite falling
in a forrest nearby Comanesti. I spoked with my friends
from the local astronomy club and a team is curently searching
the area to find the meteorite. I'll go there after the Easter to
help hunting. I'll come back with news asap.

>
> Comanesti Mayor Viorel Miron said he believed the blow was a

> said the explosion was not caused by them.
>
> The head of the police in the nearby town of Moinesti, Gelu
> Margina, also said the mining or the oil exploitation in the
> area did not announce any incidents.
>
> "Such situations occurred when a strong plane exceeded a
> certain height and is called a sonic boom," said Margina.
>
> However, the air units in the county did not announce any
> incident.
>
> "In our base there were no flights starting with Wednesday and
> there are no flights on the civil airport, either," said the
> public relations officer from the 95 Air Base in Bacau, Gelu
> Miron. He added that an army helicopter searched the area but
> found nothing to prove there has been an explosion.
>
> Viorel Miron said that locals recounted that a weird noise was
> heard before the explosion, like a large object falling from
> the sky. "Some even talked about a meteorite having caused the
> blow," said Miron.
