Notes: These times and elevations are at the point of closest approach
(peak elevation) for each city. ELSUN is the Sun's elevation for
that city at that time. BOOM is the estimated length of time
(MIN:SEC) after closest approach when the sonic boom may be heard.
However, it is unlikely that the boom can be heard if peak
elevation is less than about 20 deg. The fireball and plasma trail
should be visible in twilight over northern California and southwestern
Utah, but will not be visible east of Utah because it will be in
daylight then.
