I've wanted to describe this for a while, and after a little vibration in my town today, I thought I would describe what happened many years ago. It's just a report in my files. I never really thought any of these events would have included a personal account.
1992, August, Between 16 – 20. Netherlands. This incident happened while I was overseas in the Netherlands between June 24 and September 19. I was living in the city of Drachten 35 km from the coast. I was in bed when the tremor occurred waking me up when a window abruptly shut after the lock jumped off its track. I felt giddy when trying to get to my feet as the room shook for approximately ten seconds. At the time, authorities initially thought it was an earthquake in the North Sea. The meteor had electrophonic properties and was an Airburst from a meteor.
News Report: “Dutch province shaken. Frightened rural residents were running out of their homes during the night. Northern Frisian province residents reported their houses swaying, flowerpots falling off ledges and tumbling tableware. No personal injury. Several people said they saw a yellowish-red fireball streaking down through the night sky about 10.30pm. While seismic equipment suggested the tremors were caused by sound waves resulting from an explosion above or below ground, none of the callers reported hearing a bang (Electrophonic Meteor caused heavy vibration). Equally confounding was that all the calls came from a clearly defined area about 50km wide in the south-western corner of the province. Data picked up by ground stations did not suggest a meteoric trajectory. Yet after ruling out an underwater explosion, sonic boom, military test, and tectonic plate activity, the scientist conceded a meteorite was the only half-way plausible explanation left.”
