- Since when do bolides make noise that can be heard at ground level? Are
- you also doubting my eye witness testimony that I have seen bolides below
- the clouds? (Of course cloud level can vary from 0 ft to 50,000+ feet.)
- AS to the amber color, perhaps someone with a strong background in
- astronomy can comment as to the possible composition. I have seen several
- meteors with colors ranging from bright white to cobalt blue and lime
- green with short and long tails of various hues.
-
- Incidentally the bolide that I saw in San Jose, CA beneath the clouds was
- widely reported as a UFO and confirmed to be a bolide. (Please don't
- shout coverup.) It was very spectacular.
-
- AS to the time discrepancies, it is not possible that ther were several or
- that the people reporting them were in error?
