Hi All,

Infrasound data was recorded by the four stations at this link:

<http://www.umea.irf.se/maps/>

Kiruna, Jamton, Lycksele and Uppsala (closest to furthest from
the event).  Infrasound provides both timing and direction
information; unfortunately all the stations are south or
south-southwest of the event which isn't the most optimal for
triangulation, but it does give a general area.  If combined
with the Karasjok seismic timing data, it should shrink this
area quite a bit.

Without analyzing the timing data (yet) I'd put the burst in
Finnmark, Norway, perhaps 10-20 km NE of Reisa National Park.
Thus the sonic boom must have been quite loud for anyone in
the national park, Bilto, Mieron or Biggeluobbal.
