I came across this item on a link from another site, unfortunately the link was messed up and I was unable to locate the original story, but this was the brief on it:

Quark Bullets New Astrophysical Threat
(published London Telegraph)
..the scientists looked for events producing two sharp signals, one as it entered Earth, the other as it emerged again. They found two such events, both in 1993. The first was on the morning of October 22. Seismometers in Turkey and Bolivia recorded a violent event in Antarctica that packed the punch of several thousand tons of TNT. The disturbance then ripped through Earth on a route that ended with it exiting through the floor of the Indian Ocean off Sri Lanka just 26 seconds later - implying a speed of 900,000 mph.

What the f... is up with that? Anyone heard about this? Bizarre.
