Anthony Wesley in Australia says he saw another impact on Jupiter today- this time capturing the immediate flash on video. No obvious aftereffects, so far, but Europeans and Americans with telescopes might want to take a look tonight...

I'm still thinking that cohesive rocky body, behaving like a rifle bullet and punching through the upper cloud deck and disintegrating at a lower level, is the most reasonable explanation. Remember, the SEB has faded and we are seeing a lot of obscuring high-altitude cirrus clouds.
