Why isn't there any sound after the impact on these videos?
It's like lightening: Add one mile for every five seconds between the flash and when you hear the thunder.
Just seeing it from 50 miles away would take over 4 minutes between seeing it and when the sonic boom reached you. Some of these people saw the meteor entry from quite a distance away.
"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."
