It's too small and 3 days late... ;-)
How can the farmer hear the sound seven minutes later??? Was the sound carried over to him by another farmer in a bucket?
If the blast was the size of Hiroshima, shouldn't there by a sizeable crater somewhere? There go scientists exaggerating again...

7 minutes later, though? That would indicate he was something like 2500 miles away, no?

Say Old-timer, where's the safest place to be when a meteor hits?
Well sonny, that would be anywhere you can say, "What the Hell was that?"

I find it hard to believe there has been nothing on the MSM about this.

Looks like the night sky in Norway is like the night sky in Alaska. That is, this time of year there isn't a night sky. The meteor would have been very bright to be seen in a twilight sky.

Huh? The speed of sound is only ~720mph at sea level (would travel about 85 miles in 7 minutes).

More like 420 miles away--a long ways but loud sounds can be heard a long ways away. It was said that the sound of Krakatoa (sp) was heard in San Francisco.
To: thoughtomator
A bit less than 90 miles.
Speed of sound is (about) 1100 fps.
7 minutes X 60 X 1100 /5280

"Secretary Rumsfeld, I have some bad news. The Rods of God test went a little off -- it seems that we hit Norway. People saw it, but it's being attributed to a meteor. We've shifted the satellite to a new position, so we think we're OK and have good deniability. We'll work on targetting algorithm before the next test."

The object discombiferated as it entered further and further into the earth's atmosphere and went poof,, maybe a similar tho much smaller example of what happened at Tunguska.
