On 1 April 1965, at 05:48 U.T., a meteor struck the earth in the Banff-Penticton area of British Columbia, Canada. The meteor was sighted and recorded by seismic and infrasonic equipment. The U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey analyzed Canadian and United States seismograms from the immediate vicinity. Sufficient acoustic, surface, and body-wave seismic signals were recorded to outline an epicentral area of impact. This assisted the Canadian Government in carrying out an aerial photographic survey and on-site inspection tour. This represents the most geophysical data available on this unique event, and perhaps the best documented within recent historical times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
