Hi Jim,
While you watched this fall I am assuming it was still luminous while it
fell. Did you hear any sound from the fall? Was this a night or day
fall? As far as the pieces you picked up, are the pieces what fell off
the object or could they be from something not related to the fall?
I have about 20 specimens of various sizes from just
under 10 grams to 16.5grams.

While the object you have sounds interesting, and may or may not be a
meteorite, I'd wager that what you saw was actually a good hundred miles
away. I get many witness reports for fireballs that insist the event skimmed
the trees, came down in the field across the street, etc. In no case I've

Your not kidding, I once saw a fireball that I looked like you could reach
out and touch it. I knew better, I knew it was still miles high and many
miles away, but it sure looked like it was a few feet away.
Thanks, Tom
Hi Tom, Chris and List
In 1999, I was camping in Barkerville, British Columbia and saw the best
fireball. It was heading roughly north and was just super. Big, bright,
flaming Ball. Barkerville is about 2/3'ds of the way up B.C. and with no
light pollution, star gazing is superb!

Hi all and thanks for all the help I will send each one who offered to help a
few pictures.
Yes you are right! Ten out of ten times a fire ball looks close when it
is miles away! That is because of the size or the brightness. If it dims it
looks further away. If it brightens it looks

Hi Jim,
Actually most meteors don't continue to burn to the ground but come to
the retardation point miles up in the air. Usually if it burns all the
way to the ground, it hasn't lost it's cosmic velocity, is very big, and
if your within a couple of miles of it will probably become a part of

Hello AL, Jim and List,
Here are some of the somethings you should have heard:

Hello List,
Here is a link to my daughter's webpage. It is still under
construction and it has got nothing to do - nothing at all,

that matter. I apologize for this AD / Off-topic post but

Hello Jim, Al, Bernd and List,
If you want to hear the sonic booms from a fireball, Rob Elliot has the

steve arnold,
These are all interesting post and the kind of thing we all like to read about!
Buy I stand fast! I know what I saw and such an awsum sight can NEVER be
forgotten! And as a meteorite changes shape from melting it can easily be
driven upward. I once saw one flying parallel to the ground!
Hi Jim,
No one can really say what you saw or didn't see but you. However there
are certain physical traits to a meteorite fall that are well documented
accepted, and proven. Most of the people here can question a witness to
a fireball or meteor and ascertain within a certain amount of time
