At 4:30, light from the burning meteor reached the video camera. At that time the meteor was still in the air and it did not generate the sound wave on impact yetboom. After 150 seconds the sound waves reached the video. This which means that the point where the sound wavesboom were generated was at a distance of 333 m/s x 150 s = 49.95 Km from the spot where the video was shot. Now theThe reason for generationthe boom could be either because the meteor exploded in air and we are hearing the explosion sounddue to heat caused by air friction or because the meteor hit the earth as one major chunk of rock (along with other tiny pieces) and we are hearing the sound due to impact. IMy guess is that since we hear one big explosion followed by multiple smaller explosion, the meteor has just exploded into several pieces jutjust before hitting earth. The first explosion is due to the exploding meteor and the smaller explosion are due the pieces hitting the earth.
