Last night I heard a quick double sonic boom very much
like what I've heard for the Space Shuttle when it comes
home to Edwards.
I posted to Meteorobs last night in case it was a bolide,
but I want to post here for any conjecture on re-entry
possibilities. I don't think there was anything expected,
but I'm now wondering about some of the recent launches.
Could any of them have shed debris that could have tracked
over the Los Angeles area?
Location: 118.0W 33.8N
Time: seconds after 11:17pm local June 14, 2006

Some over on meterobs have suggested connections to the
Minuteman launch from VAFB and the 4.7 quake in Gilroy.
I have discounted both based on timing and knowledge of
both events. My booms were 22 hours after the launch and
6 hours before the quake, which was also 480km away.
