According to the Youtube description, the Atlas V rocket exceeded the speed of sound while going through a layer of ice crystals, making the shock wave visible from the ground. The announcer can be heard in the video saying, “The vehicle is now supersonic.”
Wow.












#16 re: “the blast in russia”
if your are referring to the Tunguska event..you may wish to give this a quick read for a far more plausible explanation that requires no “mystery science” to work.. “The Tunguska Event (2) An Explanation that Works”
Go to the home page of thunderbolts.info and use the search box to search the TPOD archive for related Tunguska articles. I think you will find much of what you read most enlightening on many levels..

You only worry when NASA launches a spacecraft called “Messiah”.
