How is it possible to have a solid object that has exploded with megaton force create any singular “contrail” much less one that follows no simple course of trajectory?

The official yield estimate of "Little Boy" was about 15 kilotons of TNT.

so 15 x 2-3 =30-45kt.

Also, I think you could think of it like a bullet hitting a block of gel (air)

"After the Krakatao volcano erupted (in Indonesia no less) the entire island converted to Islam. One can only imagine what a similar comet or asteroid event would do to a country such as the US. What better way to condition them to be obedient slaves by frightening them with controlled, preemptive, color-coded "terrorism" and blowing up a few skyscrapers." (mount Toba AKA super volcano, erupted estimated 60-75k years ago, is now a deep lake on top of mount toba, 400 miles north of Krakatoa)

Mount Krakatoa erupted in 1881, devastating it self as a small island, located between 2 big islands, Sumatra and Java, and it's wave of destruction killed thousands of lives on both islands. 30 ft tsunami washed inland 30 miles, Ash and dark cloud blanketed all parts of the world. Indonesia or then, known as Dutch Indies, consists of more than 13,000 islands, and have embraced Islam 2 centuries earlier, in the 17th century, also then small communities of Catholicsm developed, brought by the Dutch missionaries in the 18th century. Indonesia is now considered as Al Qaeda's branch, operational unit, due to the bombing by moslem-extremist targeted against the US and European allies, and have more than 8 major bombings, killing more 300 westerners since 9/11.
But overall, its 230 million strong population of moslem religion is actually not fanatics, and have been living in relative harmony with their Christian, Buddha, and Hindu brothers until 9/11.

on a different note, we had lost a local airliner, a Boeing 737, not far from the above meteor location, never really found, in 2005. All 167 passengers presumed death.

Thank you.
