Hello all, I'm normally just a lurker so this is one of my few posts to this list. Back on January 23rd, 2001, I and several others at my work in Cerritos California heard several loud bangs at 4:30 pm local that really shook things up. I have heard the Shuttles double sonic booms several times, including the recent landing at Edwards. These mystery booms were very much on par with the Shuttles sonic booms except that instead of the two distinct concussions the Shuttle has, I heard several booms over a 5 to 10 second period of varying amplitudes. I do know that many people in the LA area must have heard them as they all went running to an earthquake website to see if that's what it was (myself included). The website is http://www.scecdc.scec.org/ Today I was reading some information by the web administrator which showed server activity related to earthquake events. On http://bort.gps.caltech.edu/spikes/gallery/ there is an unknown event on Jan 23 at about 4:30 pm local but there was no earthquake at that time. This message is to investigate the possibility that it may have been man made space debris re-entering near the LA area at that date and time. It may have also been a bolide exploding. If anyone can help find out if it could have or could not have been man made space debris I'd appreciate it. Thanx in advance. Cheers, Brian ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
