I know this isn't  right, because I witnessed a fireball where the sonic 
sound reached me exactly  163 seconds after extinguishment. The meteor phase 
itself lasted for about 5 or  6 seconds. I was also monitoring this meteor by 
means of radio and that was  hooked up to a chart recorder. So I got the 
times quite accurately. Anyhow, I  figure when the sonic was produced, it was 
about 30 to 33 miles away.
