Howdy, all

    I?ve examined this event and I don?t agree that this feature is a debris
cloud. It is visible in radar imagery about 15 minutes prior to the
eyewitness accounts of sonic booms. It is also missing some of the
diagnostic features of a meteorite fall, namely internal turbulence that
fades within minutes of the event, high-altitude signatures, a sequential
appearance due to size sorting of falling debris, and other features in
the various radar data products. This feature moves laterally the whole
time it is visible and appears prior to the event; looks like weather to
me.
    There is a feature just NE of Shreveport that is interesting but not
conclusively a meteorite fall. There are turbulence features seen in the
Shreveport radar and reflectivity features seen at long range from the
Fort Polk radar. I?m not convinced that these features are related
either, but we are talking them over. One feature of this event that
troubles me is that there aren?t any eyewitness reports on the AMS
reporting page. Even though the area was overcast, an event of this
magnitude should have been visible over a very large area. In the past,
events like this have turned out to be man-made events coming from
something on the ground.

Cheers,
Marc Fries
