I guess that this shows that we still have a lot to learn about upper-atmosphere meteoric explosions -- were any hard data on radiative vs blast energy collected from previous similarly-sized events?
I would guess that military observation sats have recorded similar explosions in the past, but their detailed results would presumably not have been made publicly available. I would love to see a plot of total energy vs blast/radiation ratio vs detonation altitude for as many events as the information has been obtained for. |

So we have a military high-atmosphere monitoring system? ![]() Do those acronyms in that page mean that there are so MANY USAF satellites up there? Or do they refer to observation times? |
