Hi Eric, and list I take alot of storm photos in south-west Ohio, and the local guys at the NWS- Wilmington Ohio, will send me radar images of my storm photos,(date-time of my photos) months later. So I would think if anyone contacted the NWS in a city in the southern States they will do the same, for this meteor image?
Here is a example of what I have taken of storms and the radar images that they sent me, months later! I hope it works in the south for someone getting meteorite data. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=25502&id=100000209843157&l=3ae06f2885 Good luck to all! dave myers ----- Original Message ---- From: Meteorites USA <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, January 12, 2011 6:37:58 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Huge Fireball: Possible First Meteorite Fall of 2011 Sucks that the radar is unreadable. Maybe someone will step up and say their car was smashed by a North American Lunar meteorite. Could you imagine? We can hope... ;) Just a heads up for those still holding out hope, more Fireball reports have been made on AMS: http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball2/public.php?start_date=2011-01-01&end_date=2011-12-31 Articles about the fireball: http://news.google.com/news/more?q=fireball&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rlz=1R1GGLL_en___US360&um=1&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&ncl=dw2iJm6DIXQC3OMzlaYaeruc0jPmM&ei=KzIuTYzGM5S6sQOGoMnqBg&sa=X&oi=news_result&ct=more-results&resnum=7&ved=0CFkQqgIwBg Perhaps someone will come forward with some better quality video footage other than bright flashes.
