Dr. Mark Boslough: of Sandia National Labs
Thursday 16 Oct 1997
The other observations seems consistent with this estimate. A 20 ton stone
would have .5 kt of explosive energy, so the diameter would be more like 2
meters. I think this would be likely to drop stones.
Dr. David Crawford: of Sandia National Labs:

The explosion altitude was about 30 km.
