Dear Comcast Mail, Could you please repair you identity in your email program to reflect who you really are, Bob?

When they look like they are falling vertically and end about 20 deg above the horizon, this indicates the meteor occurred very far away...At least the end point did...perhaps 150 miles away. As for the weight...I don't know. George Zay
