Hi Doug,
Please feel free to forward this to the Meteorite list for me...
I just did a quick check on this, suspecting it might be a satellite
re-entry. ... it was travelling east-to-west!", let me add that it was
actually ~because~ it was travelling east to west AND passing over
Israel that a lightbulb went off in my head. Israeli satellites are
always launched in retrograde orbits, and I thought it would be an
amusing case of karma if this turned out to be one of their own.
Well, in short, it was:
Shavit R/B, USSPACECOM #31602, launched some time in 2007.
I just plotted its trajectory as seen from Jerusalem, and bingo.
