Seance stops meteorite (energy) = >54.500 megatons
Seance stops meteorite (speed) = >Mach 313.785
Said meteorite(s) would have killed all humanity (and did so in a bad timeline), so I'm more than pretty sure this would ultimately be even higher (I have a feeling that 40000 tons is just "an impressive sounding number" thrown out there). Plus the sound vibrations that did that to the Moon would be ridiculous.
