Louisiana Loud Boom - Mystery NOT solved / Meteor After All?

Update- 18OCT2014 0515 JST
X-37B Returns Safely / Louisiana X-37B Loud Boom - Mystery NOT Solved / Meteor Again?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
From: 30th Space Wing Public Affairs, www.vandenberg.af.mil

X-37B ORBITAL TEST VEHICLE-3 LANDS AT VANDENBERG AFB
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.
-
The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle mission 3 (OTV-3), the Air Force's unmanned, reusable space plane, landed at Vandenberg Air Force Base at 9:24 a.m. Oct. 17 . "The 30th Space Wing and our mission partners, Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, Boeing, and our base support contractors, have put countless hours of hard work into preparing for this landing and today we were able to see the culmination of that dedication," said Col Keith Balts, 30th Space Wing commander. "I'm extremely proud of our team for coming together to execute this third safe and successful landing. Everyone from our on console space operators to our airfield managers and civil engineers take pride in this unique mission and exemplify excellence during its execution." The OTV-3 conducted on-orbit experiments for 674 days during its mission, extending the total number of days spent on-orbit for the OTV program to 1367 days. "The landing of OTV-3 marks a hallmark event for the program" said the X-37B program manager. "The mission is our longest to date and we're pleased with the incremental progress we've seen in our testing of the reusable space plane. The dedication and hard work by the entire team has made us extremely proud." The X-37B is the newest and most advanced re-entry spacecraft. Managed by the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, the X-37B program performs risk 
reduction, experimentation and concept of operations development for reusable space vehicle technologies. The Air Force is preparing to launch the fourth X-37B mission from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in 2015.

Louisiana X-37B Loud Boom - Mystery Solved NOT Solved -Scrap this hypothesis
SECRET X-37B Re-entry Path Over Shreveport, LA. 13OCT2014 -- Controlled Deceleration of the Craft Caused the Loud Boom!
Convenient cloudy overcast provided cover.
written 2340 JST,  16OCT2014 Tokyo
by Dirk Ross...LunarMeteoriteHunter, Tokyo

SECRET Boeing X-37B / NASA
Since the mystery Loud Boom in the Shreveport, Louisiana area on Monday, October 13 at approximately 4:27 pm CDT, the event was felt and heard by thousands of residents in and around the city.and even over the state line into Texas some 35 miles away.

   At the time of the event I started getting an unusual pattern of traffic indicating an event and then queries starting coming in.  I immediately set off to post about the event in hopes of capturing reports from witnesses and to break the news story ahead of the media..  Minutes later I had the event confirmed via my network.

  Since Shreveport has had past loud booms, one on October 15, 2012 being the most recent, it was first guessed that it might have been a munitions bunker again, but it wasn't.  The Calumet plant was the next suspect because they had a prior loud boom; Calumet - negative!  Pipelines, other possible factories, and the military bases no cause was found.

 The next likely culprit, and my favorite at the time was a bolide, a large meteor, entering and fragmenting and this hypothesis lasted about two days for me.

 After contacting Marc Fries, a meteor radar expert, asked him to search for possible radar debris evidence;  Marc reported, "Nothing!". Meanwhile the National Weather Service, found a debris plume to the southeast of Shreveport.  NWS called the artifact a debris cloud. Marc found the same artifact on the same radar 15 minutes PRIOR to the event, discounting radar debris field evidence.

  This started me thinking about other possibilities. Was it a re-entry craft or vehicle, and what kind?

   The Google Search bar quickly found the SECRET X-37B, "Space Drone", was scheduled to be back at any time soon and of course secret, but open sources gave the location as Vandenberg AFB in California, but I also found that there was talk of landing one "in the future" at KFC as a trial run.

  Ok, I had my possible cause, looking more deeply into the bowels of Google and an IDEA hit me; check the Columbia return path!  Well I didn't just then, but I found that the Columbia had first entered over land at San Francisco, California and was to land at Kennedy Flight Center.  On Google Earth, I drew a line between the two locations, the line went right over Shreveport!  I found the Columbia's path on an official map, the map showed the flight path right over the Shreveport, LA area.

  This set me off on a search chase to find out more about the X-37B ......which I will write about later.  ........More about the story to come................ to be continued after I have some sleep

Recife, Brasil Large Bolide 15OCT2014 Breaking News

Recife, Brasil Large Bolide 2221 Local Time 15OCT2014 -

[TV JORNAL] Queda de meteoro assusta população do Grande Recife e outros estados
Posted to YouTube by TV Jornal 7,847 views
  Likely a meteor caused the flash that lit up the sky in Recife during the night of Wednesday (15), around 22h. Cameras and Urban Transit Company Transportation (CTTU) recorded the phenomenon. The celestial body probably went into combustion when it came into contact with the air pressure in the atmosphere and formed a fireball, fireball named. According to the Astronomical Society of Recife (SAR), the explosion is part of the "Meteor Orionídea", which starts on the 14th and ends on the 29th of this month.

Um provável meteoro causou o clarão que iluminou o céu do Recife, durante a noite dessa quarta-feira (15), por volta das 22h. Câmeras da Companhia de Trânsito e Transporte Urbano (CTTU) registraram o fenômeno. O corpo celeste provavelmente entrou em combustão quando entrou em contato com a pressão do ar na atmosfera e formou uma bola de fogo, denominada bólido. Segundo a Sociedade Astronômica do Recife (SAR), a explosão faz parte da "Chuva de Meteoros Orionídea", que tem início no dia 14 e termina no dia 29 deste mês.

15 / 0ct / 2014 ...... 22:21 TL .......... a large bolide as never seen before. Was in the balcony (Recife) when a light (I think it lasted about 2 or 3 sec) very bright, behind a small cloud, lit the porch like an electric arc. I did not hear thunder. Not seen the direction, but still had time to see the glow in the sky, was approximately 70 degrees north altitude (almost overhead) by the meridian. There are cameras here in the region ... - Pierson B.

15/0ut/2014......22:21 TL..........um grande bólido como nunca havia visto antes. Estava na varanda (em Recife) quando uma luz (acho que durou uns 2 ou 3 seg) muito brilhante, por trás de uma pequena nuvem, iluminou a varanda como um arco voltaico. Não ouvi trovão. Não vi a direção, mas ainda deu tempo de ver o clarão no céu, foi a aproximadamente a 70 graus de altitude norte (quase zenital) pelo meridiano. Não há câmeras por aqui na região........ Pierson B.

UPDATE-
Still mystery event!  I have just been informed that the Calumet report by KTBS.com was from a prior event.

UPDATE-
  "On the local 10:00 PM News, still no Official Word today on the Sonic Boom from the Sky.
  My guess, a large Meteor entering the atmosphere at a shallow angle. At the time of the Sonic Boom , about 4:30 PM, the local relative direction of the Earth was away the Sky, toward the Ground, whereas opposite motion of the Earth at 4:30 AM is somewhat from the Ground toward the Sky. When the Sun is low in the Western Sky or in the early evening, the Earth is moving away from the direction overhead, this is why many of these Sonic Boom-generating Meteors come in at a shallow angle, late in the afternoon or early evening. The Asteroid fragment last year in Russia, happened in the morning, locally the Earth was moving toward the sky amplifying the meteor’s velocity. It is just a matter if time; a large object will slam into the atmosphere over a populated area. The object over Chelyabinsk Russia, February 15, 2013, weighed over 12,000 metric tons, traveling over 40,000 mph, equaled the destructive force of 500,000 tons of TNT. Fortunately that object in Russia burst high in the Sky with a relatively shallow horizontal motion. If it had come in at a steeper angle, the shock wave would have slammed perpendicularly against the ground focusing the local energy of the shock wave, smashing entire cities, like that of the event in Russia 100 years ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelyabinsk_meteor#mediaviewer/File:Meteoroid_-_Meteor_(Bolide)_-_Meteorite.gif

  In a few days a Comet, the size of a mountain will fly by Mars at a relative 33 Miles per second, passing a few thousand miles from its surface. Luckily the Solar System has been swept clear of most of these large objects perhaps hundreds of millions of years ago, or else our planet would not be as friendly a place to live as it is now, however, since there are so many of us on the surface of the Earth, some are an easy target for much smaller and more numerous objects."
Jay Salsburg, Shreveport, Louisiana

UPDATE-
 " When folks across the ArkLaTex were startled by a loud boom late Monday afternoon, most assumed it was just another clap of thunder on a rainy day. But what they heard was an explosion that rocked Shreveport’s Calumet Refinery, a blast that caused two employees to be hospitalized.
  SFD says the fire was contained to a small, gasoline making section of the refinery and that there was no threat to the surrounding area. The two injured workers were taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that were considered minor.
  The cause of the explosion will now be investigated by a team of Calumet safety specialists. The refinery is located just south of I-20 across from the state fairgrounds." 
Jay Salsburg, Shreveport, Louisiana
I have JUST been informed that the Calumet report by KTBS.com was from a prior event.

Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-
"How did you hear about this report? I was deep asleep, but it woke me. I remember hearing a very loud pop, then a series of reverberant booms travelling across the sky. When I went to sleep, we were having thunderstorms so I just thought it was a close lightning strike, but now that there is so much mystery, I do remember it did not sound like Thunder but a sonic boom, I remember them from the 1960s. For it to have waked me from sleep it would have to have been very loud, I sleep like a rock. Unfortunately the sky was overcast. Maybe an airline pilot saw something, but you know how they are about Unidentified Flying Objects. If this was heard over such a wide area, it had to have been at high altitude."
Jay Salsburg, Shreveport, Louisiana

13OCT2014 Stephen Foster Shreveport, LA 4:30ish pop/boom 2-3 sec until pressure waves shook windows Indoors at my home.Sound came from the backyard area and shook the back windows of the house the most. That would have put the direction west to southwest of my location. n/a n/a n/a Indoors when me and my kids heard it. Sounded similar to thunder, but was a sharper more distinct pop. Then the windows in my home rattled seconds later. My daughter asked what was that? I though initially it was thunder since we had been having storms in the area that day.

13OCT2014 Misty Roberts Shreveport, La 16:26 CDT 5 SEC above and everywhere extremely LOUD BOOM(S) no lights none seen VERY loud boom, then 2 smaller ones (like echoes maybe) that was felt AND heard. SCARY!!!!

13OCT2014 Sarah Keithville ,la. 1630 PM central time 2 sec East We heard a very loud. BOOM sound and it shook my house Didn't see anything Didn't see anything This shook my home and rattled windows sounding like in my yard going off , It was so loud it made me jump out of laying down and dead sleep , run to check on my kids outside and thought it was a military detonation of some type . Sounded like a military grade BOOM of middle or cannon .

13OCT2014 Emily Sanchez Stonewall, LA 1625 central, PM It was quick, almost a minute maybe. No sight Immediate big boom, I thought a tree had fallen close by, but I did not see anything when I walked outside after it happened. N/A N/A The bad storm just passed away an ended and after is when the boom sounded, I felt vibrations, it shook my house like rattled it, every dog on our property were barking. Our outside dogs barked greatly. There were no signs of anything, no trees down, no smoke. Winds did pick up, it was very gusty and the cold front did seem to already start, it got somewhat cool.

13OCT2014 RJ Bossier city, LA 16:27:00 1 United States Boom no no no

13OCT2014 Brian WC Shreveport, LA, US 16:26 PM CDT 5 seconds unknown no LOUD BOOM unknown loud boom heard over NW Louisiana and far east Texas. It has been erroneously reported as a refinery explosion in another report. However, people have been mistakenly looking at a news story from a similar explosion two years ago. The refinery in question was not at the epicenter of the noise this time.
