Hi All,
A bright meteor was recorded on an All-Sky camera in south Calgary
around 00:32:15 MDT on 14 July 2012. Location appears to be east of
the camera location, heading south. (Could be heading southeast,
south, or southwest -- would need a second camera view to triangulate.)
Currently 7 reports on the AMS website (event 965). Could have been
over south-eastern Alberta or south-western Saskatchewan. Doesn't
look like it made it to the Montana border.
A link to the video is here:

Hi Bulletin Watchers,
Over the last week or so, there have been 174 new meteorites approved
and listed in the Bulletin. These include NWA's, Oman, and USA
meteorites. Most of them are ordinary chondrites, but there are some
interesting achondrites as well.

RELEASE: 12-236
NASA HYPERSONIC INFLATABLE TECH TEST SET FOR VIRGINIA LAUNCH JULY 21
WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. -- NASA Space Technology Program researchers will
launch and deploy a large inflatable heat shield aboard a rocket
travelling at hypersonic speeds this weekend during a technology
demonstration test from the agency's Wallops Flight Facility on
Wallops Island, Va.
NASA has four consecutive days of launch opportunities for the
agency's Inflatable Re-entry Vehicle Experiment (IRVE-3), starting
July 21, with the liftoff window from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. EDT each day.
The test is designed to demonstrate lightweight, yet strong,
inflatable structures that could become practical tools for
exploration of other worlds or as a way to return items safely to
Earth from the International Space Station. During this technology
demonstration test flight, NASA's IRVE-3 payload will try to re-enter
Earth's atmosphere at hypersonic speeds -- Mach 5, or 3,800 mph to
7,600 mph.
"As we investigate new ways to bring cargo back to Earth from the
International Space Station and innovative ways to land larger
payloads safely on Mars, it's clear we need to invest in new
technologies that will enable these goals," said Michael Gazarik,
director of NASA's Space Technology Program. "IRVE-3 is precisely the
sort of cross-cutting technology NASA's Space Technology Program
should mature to make these future NASA and commercial space
endeavors possible."
The IRVE-3 experiment will fly aboard a three-stage Black Brant XI
launch vehicle for its suborbital flight. The payload and the heat
shield, which looks like a large, uninflated cone of inner tubes,
will be packed inside the rocket's 22-inch-diameter nose cone. About
six minutes after launch, the rocket will climb to an altitude of
about 280 miles over the Atlantic Ocean.
At that point, the 680-pound IRVE-3 will separate from the rocket. An
inflation system similar to air tanks used by scuba divers will pump
nitrogen gas into the IRVE-3 aeroshell until it becomes almost 10
feet in diameter. Instruments on board, including pressure sensors
and heat flux gauges, as well as cameras, will provide data to
engineers on the ground of how well the inflated heat shield performs
during the force and heat of entry into Earth's atmosphere.
After its flight, IRVE-3 will fall into the Atlantic Ocean about 350
miles down range from Wallops. From launch to splash down, the flight
is expected to take approximately 20 minutes.
"We originally came up with this concept because we'd like to be able
to land more mass and access higher altitudes on Mars," said Neil
Cheatwood, IRVE-3 principal investigator at NASA's Langley Research
Center in Hampton, Va. "To do so you need more drag. We're seeking to
maximize the drag area of the entry system. We want to make it as big
as we can. The limitation with current technology has been the launch
vehicle diameter."
Cheatwood and a team of NASA engineers and technicians have spent the
last three years addressing the technical challenges of materials
withstanding the heat created by atmospheric entry and preparing for
the IRVE-3 flight. The team has studied designs, assessed materials
in laboratories and wind tunnels, and subjected hardware to thermal
and pressure loads beyond what the inflatable spacecraft technology
should face during flight.
This test is a follow on to the successful IRVE-2, which showed an
inflatable heat shield could survive intact after coming through
Earth's atmosphere. IRVE-3 is the same size as IRVE-2, but has a
heavier payload and will be subjected to a much higher reentry heat.
IRVE-3 is part of the Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator
(HIAD) Project within the Game Changing Development Program, part of
NASA's Space Technology Program. Langley developed and manages the
IRVE-3 and HIAD projects.
Journalists interested in attending the IRVE-3 launch at NASA's
Wallops Flight Facility should contact Wallops Public Affairs Officer
Keith Koehler at 757-824-1579 or [email protected] to arrange
for media accreditation.
NASA TV will air the IRVE-3 launch live and stream it on the Web at:
http://www.nasa.gov/ntv

In addition to the 7 reports on the AMS website, here is a report
from Lake Newell, Alberta, for this fireball:
"I was fishing at Lake Newell Friday night, at about 12:30, suddenly
something light up the lake and I saw an object flying pass the lake
in 2 seconds without any sound, I thought the object only 50-100m above
the lake. 2 minutes later, I heard 2 huge boom sound. Basically the
exact same thing (seen) by the guy at Dinosaur Park. I have never
been a believer of UFO before, but I changed my mind after I saw that
thing."
(Note: Friday Night 12:30 is actually *Saturday* morning 12:30am on
July 14th, so this is the same event.)
Here is the report from Dinosaur Park (referenced above):
"We were camping at dinosaur park, having a fire. Around 1 am something
flew over us, it acted as a shooting star except it was fairly low to
the ground and light up the campground as it went past. Then about
10 min later we heard a huge boom sound. First we initially thought
it could have been some kids with fireworks, but it was totally silent.
Usually fireworks make a sound like a missile and some crackling. When
this thing flew over us it was absolutely silent and beautiful. It was
green and had fire."
Unfortunately, neither report has directional information, but it's
encouraging that both experienced sonic booms. --Rob
