(meteorobs) Odd "vortex" cloud photo, on 5 June 2001, posted on a site...possible shock wave due to supersonic incoming object??



I came across two interesting photos of a "vortex" cloud, taken by two
different observers in in Sonoma County, California, posted 5 June 2001, on
the "What's New" section of Art Bell's web site, at
http://www.artbell.com/letters18.html (this is *not* meant as an endorsement
of Art Bell, as I disagree strongly with many of the views expressed there).

What is of possible relevance is that the cloud feature *may* show the
after-effects of a supersonic object traversing the atmosphere--whether it's
due to a supersonic military aircraft, *or* due to a meteor, icy comet
fragment, is unknown. Has anyone else received reports of this phenomenon?
