The Bahamas, the documentary and the meteor

Before reading the following I would like to express that I truly love people who love whales. At no time do I want to portray someone who doesn't respect those who passionately love earth's wildlife and seek answers? My views are to highlight and help those seeking to dissolve the ocean's problems.

The following extract is from the documentary that can be seen on YouTube. See the link below.

(Sonic Sea is a 60 minutes documentary about the devastating impact of industrial and military ocean noise on whales and other marine life. The film begins with a mystery: the unexplained stranding and mass mortality of several species of whales in the Bahamas in March 2000. As the mystery unfolds, the film explores the critical role of sound in the sea, and the sudden, dramatic changes human activity is inflicting on the ocean's delicate acoustic habitat -- changes that threaten the ability of whales and other marine animals to prosper, to function, and ultimately, to survive.)

The Meteor

On January 18. Gulf of Mexico. a meteor/fireball was detected in the Gulf of Mexico. It had the equivalent energy of 120,000 kg/TNT. If this happened anywhere in the world today, I would place a marine animal disturbance alert out on the event. Coordinates: (24.3, -94.9). The March strandings fit in perfectly to a marine event like this. I am almost certain that many animals died because of this event ranging in the many hundreds. Meteoroids also bring in company and the region was probably littered with debris before and after. 

Above is the only airburst detected between November 1999 to June 2000. 
Below are the only meteors detected 6 months on either side of the event. A meteor above Venezuela in the Caribbean exploded with an energy of 270,000 kg/TNT. This event happened a few days before the 1999 November map range, October 26th. This was well over twice the energy of the January event, a large precursor.

Glacier retraction and meteor streams

An interesting discovery in my research has been the sporadic retraction of glaciers globally. I will write further about this in the future...
