From: Brian Webb (launch-alert-edi...@earthlink.net) X-37B SONIC BOOM 2010 December 9 (Thursday) 19:30 PST
As reported previously, the Air Force's unmanned X-37B spacecraft landed at Vandenberg AFB last Friday at 1:16 a.m. PST. Launch Alert reader Brian Bartky was in Camarillo and reports hearing a sonic boom at about that time. In an e-mail to the Editor, he wrote: " ... I heard a sonic boom early Friday morning. When I heard the boom it took me a minute or so to remember that the X-37B was expected to land. And when I looked at my watch it said 1:20 a.m.; however, my watch tends to run a little fast. So, it was probably closer to 1:15 ... I've heard the shuttle several times and the sonic boom from an F-4 so I'm very confident of what I heard ... it was a single boom unlike the double one the shuttle makes. And the window in my computer room rattled. Finally, since it was around the right time I'm confident it was a sonic boom from the X-37-B's approach." ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
