No conspiracy. But I have wondered about the explosion or whatever it was . As one report from Dallas said it shook the house.
The shuttle path was almost directly overhead here , far as I could measure, near Ft Worth. But there was one considerable large Boom which we heard.
If the explosion was 40 miles away, horizontally in dense air, we may possibly have heard it.
But it was 40 miles up in extremely thin air with very little sound transmission ability.
A bit of mystery to me.
A sonic boom from a large segment re-entering would have been over 100 miles to the east and traveling away from the area
