Remarks Oddly I swear it looked like it carved a path through the clouds and then left a hole in the clouds. Given it was glowing orange/yellow I would have understood it was many thousands of feet higher. Maybe the sound wave carved a path through the clouds …. or the meteor was only at a couple of thousand feet !
