Georgie Pilcher October 03, 2007 12:00am THE Herald Sun phones rang hot last night with reports of a UFO sighting in Melbourne. People from Lilydale to Mt Eliza and Richmond to St Albans called about 9.45pm to say they had seen an amazing bright blue light in the sky with a long blue trail. Perry Vlahos from the Astronomical Society of Victoria confirmed it was in fact a meteor or Bollide burning up in the atmosphere. The meteor had entered the atmosphere over north-east Victoria and travelled towards South Australia. "As the Earth moves around the sun in its orbit it sweeps up this sort of material every day. However, not much is larger than a grain of sand. This one however was bigger, probably the size of a tennis ball," he said. The meteor was moving up to 72km a second. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22523139-2862,00.html

Crikey. Another space rock. I have a question for anyone out there on this forum that is smart about meteors falling and the speed in which they fall. Michael Farmer who is from meteoriteguy.com visited Carancas and took pics of the crash site. His business is he sells meteor fragments. Well anyway, he said - - > "...The fireball was larger and brighter than the sun...and broke many windows as it passed overhead at what must have been supersonic speed! ...Witnesses describe a massive ball of fire which slammed into the ground, creating a mushroom cloud of smoke, steam and dust, and shook the ground like an earthquake. Many windows were broken in the village of Carancas as well. People who arrived at the fall site within minutes of the impact report that the crater rapidly filled with water, which was boiling, and erupting nauseous steam that smelled overwhelmingly of sulfur." >>the bolded emphasis above was mine<< My question: Are meteors able to fall at the speed of sound, to cause windows to break?
