or was it the shockwave that caused the car alarms to go off...was watching a youtube video and when the meteor flew over or the shockwave went off alot of car alarms went off...did radiation cause that? is radiation in meteorites?

Just a guess mind you. The shock wave shook the car enough to set off the alarm?
Perspective is everything.

Most car alarms have bump sensors so that if the car is hit by anything the alarm will sound. The shockwave would set them off

Many car alarms have shock sensors.

Vibration sets them off. I've seen them set off by jets flying low overhead.

Just depends on the sensitivity settings.

Sound vibration from something travelling at such high velocity overhead, possibly and probably breaking the sound barrier. When I lived on the East Coast near VA, and the fighter jets would make practice runs up and down from DC to NC and back again...the boom would set off car alarms all the time.

Same reason a car alarm can go off if a loudly rumbling truck drives by, such as dumb trucks and such

It made a shock wave strong enough to break windows, setting of car alarms was nothing.

Why do people ask such stupid questions...?

Go do some educational reading instead of coming on here with such a stupid question and waiting for everybody else to answer it for you.

Aren't you even the least bit curious that you would go looking for the answers yourselve.

That the difference between people who suceed and people whom do nothing and get nowhere in life.

Most self made millionaires and successful people do things for themselves and it all starts with education. Alot of them were self educated.

GET IT!
