[meteorite-list] Saw One Fireball

2003-12-09 Thread CalSouth1


Well, 

I finally got to see a small fireball during twilight tonight at 5:26 PST. In the NE Quad about 15 deg. above the horizon and streaking due East. After it entered the atmosphere, it lasted for about 3 seconds and I saw a few particles fall off and trail behind. Bright green and white glow. It extingquished about 5 degrees above the horizon. Location, Barstow, CA.

Really nice sight that was.

That was my wife's wallet re-entering the atmosphere after her out of this 
world spending spree for Xmas!
