Dear all,
When a very big bolide is observed, some witnesses explain the observation of
the meteorite parent, just in front of bolide.
I wanted to check this very unknow phenomen.
I decomposed some video from Chelyabinsk bolide. One of them shows a dark mass
in front of
There can be no dark object in front of a fireball. It is the leading
face of the body that is generating the pressure front and heating the
air, resulting in ablation and the light we see.
Keep in mind the scale, as well. We're seeing a ~15 meter diameter body

Hi all -
I'd like to remind everyone here that there were about 50 children in the
hospital due to this one, and if they don't at least get crumbs in jars from
it, then shame on us.
Usually in a cometary fragment bolide, most of the meteoroid is turned to
plasma in the bolide, and then
Hi all -
I need to add that the speed of any surviving larger fragments after the bolide
event can be estimated from the contrail speed after it. Add in height at the
bolide, and then rely on the locals...
whew...
good hunting,

Hi Murray,
Thank you for your comments.
The photos comes from this video: http://youtu.be/PHf20NVZSV4 (The bolide is
visible at 4:35, deflagrations at 7:01)
I have updated my galery with several photos from the bolide, there is 1/10 s
between each image.
Hi Robin,
I want to thank you for all the detective work you've been doing on the
Russian meteor -- particularly determining the locations of some of the
video cameras that recorded either the bolide itself, or its contrail and
sonic booms.

Thanks for your appreciative message. I am just linking one from forum
to another, and writing about recent developments to the Columbian
researchers in case they haven't heard of them already.

Very doubtful the object is visible. The front of it will have the greatest
pressure gradient, which incurs the largest thermal shock in-turn and is
therefore the brightest optically. You would not see a dark mass. It is
totally engulfed in plasma.
