LATEST UPDATE ON JUNE 3, 2004 2:40 AM PDT Meteor
On June 3, 2004 at 2:40 AM PDT a meteor burst was seen, heard and felt in the central Puget Sound. The PNSN recorded this event on many seismograph stations throughout the area. From what we can see on our records, this appears to be a single explosive source rather than a "sonic boom" type moving source.
Our estimate of the location of the "boom" places it at an altitude of 43 km over Snohominsh, WA. Since there were reports from eastern Washington (and even Colorado) of seeing it, it must have been high enough there not to have left a sonic trail on our eastern Washington stations. When it arrived near Snohomish it apparently exploded.
