No Problem. Actually, the electical disturbances wasn't caused by the meteor traveling through the atmosphere, it was caused when the meteor exploded near the surface. The explosion was tremendous, I mean I saw it from nearly 2000 miles away, and thought I heard a crackling sound soon after. It was bright red, and aparently fairly high in the atmosphere when it happened. The one in NM was a greenish color. I asked an astronomer at our local observatory and he told me the colors represented the types of metals in the meteor. Red being iron, I think, and green being either copper or magnesium.
An EMP??? It certainly seems plausible. I've really got to do some looking around for more information on this stuff!
On the subject of lightning in strange places. In the course of studying vulcanism, plinian eruptions, and severe pyroclastic flow, I was surprised to discover that heavy lightning was a major association.
Regarding sources of tsunamis and large ice as high as 600 feet, how high do scientists think the tsunami caused by a great chunk of mountainside sliding into the sea in the Canary Islands might have been?
In a separate vein, I have come to a moderately strong belief that there was an important boloid event associated with the Younger Dryas. At that time sea ice extended far down into the Atlantic. My intuitive hunch has been that the boloid whould have been in the upper north Atlantic. Any evidence for or against? As I said this is a strong hunch. Years ago I read something about tectite strew fields in Georgia and/or the Carolinas. I think the age they mentioned was around 12kya. Any info on this?
