I thought the sound was different, but similar to the old sonic booms when I heard it... The local college here (SMU) has special low frequency listening devices ("infrasound detectors") near Big Bend National Park (hundreds of miles from Dallas!) and they say that what they picked up were real explosions and not a sonic boom, in fact there were three large explosions and 4 smaller ones that lasted for over 10 minutes. They have all the sensor readings and traced the sound to the Dallas area. It even picks up meteorites entering the atmosphere, animals, etc. And it picked up some kind of atmospheric turbulence before the first explosion. They are trying to do cals to figure out the true size of the blasts..... Marc Wiese
