Hello List,
If you haven't already read about this "superbolide" from 5-31-09, you might
find it interesting.
This is from the spaceweather web site. They have two links. One shows a
VERY short movie of the event, and the other is a link for more info.
" BLINDING FLASH: On May 31st, evening sky watchers in northern Poland were
temporarily blinded by a sudden flash of light brighter than the full Moon. An
automated camera in the town of Gniewowo captured this snapshot of the
"un-night" sky:
What happened? A meteoroid of unknown origin hit Earth's atmosphere and
exploded. "It was a huge fireball, probably brighter than magnitude -13,"
reports Gniewowo resident Przemyslaw Zoladek. "The explosion occured at 20:48
UT and was observed by many casual witnesses and at least two Polish Fireball
Network video stations." No one knows if fragments of the object reached the
ground. "
Best wishes,
Robert Woolard
