-------------- Attached Message -------------- meteorobs-digest Tuesday, November 4 2003 Volume 04 : Number 1259 (meteorobs) fireball and impact (maybe) Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2003 01:18:09 -0600 From: "Terry Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: (meteorobs) fireball and impact (maybe) A very bright fireball was seen traveling north-ward through Arkansas this evening (9:50 local time, 03:50 UT). A friend reported the bolide brighter than the gibeous moon. He also said he could see structure as though the meteor were quite close--or quite large. Later this evening I recieved a report that a fire was started 20 mi. west of Jonesboro, AR with the meteor cited as the probable culprit. There is a college in Jonesboro, so hopefully a professor will get to the area to investigate (otherwise I may have to go there myself). I'll try to keep you all informed. I know meteors don't normally start fires, but how big does a meteor have to get before it becomes possible?
