Interesting,,   I'm amazed that such a small seismic event could be 
recorded from Alaska to South America, Hawaii to Norway with essentially 
a constant magnitude from Texas to Ohio with the Texas to Ohio time 
displacement of about 6 minutes???   And the real mystery,  why isn't it 
listed???   The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre has a 4.1 
automated event listed for Honduras for about the right time, but I 
can't imagine it would be recorded in Hawaii, Alaska and Norway???

I have recorded supersonic overflights at my station (west of Tucson) before
and you get two sharp spikes, very close together, and nothing that
resembles surface waves.  I normally record at 100 SPS.

This event was recorded by several sensors from the US Network and displayed
on the ASL heliplots.  The displays from ASL are filtered at 0.02 hz, which
is a long period display.
