Not sure, however, on occasion I swear that I have also observed the
high altitude bolide explosions, both visually and audibly (obviously
the former precedes the latter). One such incident occured when I was at
basic training in San Antonio. We were marching from one place to
another in the middle of nowhere when we heard a medium thunderclap.
Nothing was visible on the ground for half a mile, and not a cloud in
the sky except for a very small puff almost directly overhead that
looked like the aftereffects of a flak explosion, though it was
grey/white smoke, not black. I've seen this sort of thing at least
several times over the years as well. (I'm also sensitive to low richter
earthquakes as well)....
