| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I didn't see the fireball, but there was a pronounced sonic boom at 6:47 PM ET; sounded like thunder (but wasn't); reverberated. Based on twitter reports, and reports (and comments) in local newspaper, the sound was heard throughout the city of Bloomington, IN, which spans several miles. It appears that there was a 3 to 4 minute delay between when most saw the meteor and the sound heard here. |
