Volcano heard
far and wide
but not near
The OMSI Volcano Sound
Project (June 26 edition Hep
pner Gazette-Times) has
gathered over 1000 responses
from people as far as Alberta,
Canada and Missoula, Mon
tana, according to Clara
Fairfield, orginator of the
project and curator for the
museum.
No one living near the
volcano heard or felt the blast.
Physicists say this is due to
high atmospheric deflection
sound shooting skyward from
the volcano and bouncing back
to earth from the upper
atmosphere creating a quiet
zone circle.
Persons who heard the May
18 volcano eruption are asked
to write a post card with their
name, location and type of
sound they heard to OMSI
Sound Project, 4015 SW Can
