ATTENTION! ALL BOLIDE CHASSEURS:

Do we have any Listees in Northern California?

There's a possibility that, if you go to the exact
spot where these two photos were taken (see below),
you may be able to triangulate where this "object"
might have landed!

Worth a shot, if you ask me.

Subject: (meteorobs) Odd "vortex" cloud photo, on 5
June 2001, posted on a site...possible shock wave due
to supersonic incoming object??

I came across two interesting photos of a "vortex"
cloud, taken by two different observers in in Sonoma
County, California, posted 5 June 2001, on the
"What's New" section of Art Bell's web site, at
http://www.artbell.com/letters18.html
(this is *not* meant as an endorsement of Art Bell, as
I disagree strongly with many of the views expressed
there).

What is of possible relevance is that the cloud
feature *may* show the after-effects of a supersonic
object traversing the atmosphere--whether it's due to
a supersonic military aircraft, *or* due to a meteor,
icy comet fragment, is unknown. Has anyone else
received reports of this phenomenon?
