See, you posted that pulp cover Meteor of Death (1954) by Berkeley Livingston as a joke and I had to track it down. Apparently it first appeared in the January 1944 Amazing Stories as “Island of Eternal Storm.”

Which I haven’t read yet. When I read “Island of Eternal Storm”, if there is not a METEOR OF DEATH in it, I shall be VERY VEXED.

3 minute delay between light and sound would put the meteor 60 km away

Looked like 45 degree elevation at best so turning the slant range into altitude gives 42km.

Brief tangent:
“Nah vex!” is common Jamaican patois for “Don’t worry about it!”

There appears to be an appropriate Kill Joke track for just about any news story today.

I live in Near Shoreline. Didn’t hear it.
The youtube comments seem to point to this happening sort of over Northgate
