Re: [meteorite-list] Just witnessed large fireball.

Not that fast, I have seen 20 years of meteor showers, and this one was not a cometary piece, that is for sure. It was slow enough that I followed it accross the sky on it's way down. It is the third best fireball I have ever seen.

This is an indication of it being of cometary origin...very fragile and soft material. Plus at that speed, more than likely to burn up even if it was astroidal. George Zay
