It's pretty cool, so I thought you might want to hear it for yourselves. It was recorded on 25th April 1969, in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland - a woman was recording bird song just as the 5.4kg Bovedy (L3) meteorite fell, and she caught the detonations through her microphone. The booms and rumblings echo around for several seconds after the first detonation, and a spooked dog starts to bark soon after (the Bovedy Dog??). The fun starts at around 34 seconds into the track, which you can download at http://fernlea.tripod.com/bovedy.wav It's always nice to see what caused it, so here's a picture of my Bovedy slice http://fernlea.tripod.com/bovedy.jpg Thanks to Derek Heatly and the Planetarium for the original recording!
