Which is why details of where it hit should not be revealed by the press,
especially not in real time.  (It's sort of like saying "that was close, but
it was a little to the left.  Try again")

This to me implies a maximum velocity of no more than this (as compared to
the Mach 5 quoted earlier in this newsgroup).
