This Lorton bolide dust cloud is also visible in the Sterling, VA, radar cycle beginning at 22:47:06 in the first two sweeps, continuing its eastward drift. I'm checking the Norfolk/Richmond radar in case it showed up on it as well, but so far it appears in four sweeps spanning a little over four minutes: 22:45:01 38.72N, 77.16W, 2.5 km 22:46:24 38.72N, 77.13W, 3.4 km 22:47:48 38.71N, 77.10W, 0.5 km 22:49:11 38.71N, 77.10W, 0.5 km This is a fairly significant drift rate eastward: about 31 m/sec, or roughly 70 mph. But this is in agreement with what the jet stream map shows for this part of northern Virginia a little over an hour later: http://virga.sfsu.edu/pub/jetstream/jetstream/big/1001/10011900_jetstream_an al.gif --Rob ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
