It's certainly real. That's a typical meteor train dissipation pattern.

There is nothing definitive about it. The paper describes many factors

Meteor color is important. It's just not a very useful measure for
determining composition. Color changes with meteor speed and meteor
depth in the atmosphere. And certainly, the composition is a factor,

Hi Doug-
I don't think atmospheric extinction normally plays much of a role in
color perception of bright meteors. You don't get a full magnitude
difference between red and blue until you are about 15° above the
horizon, or about four air masses. And even at a magnitude difference,
I'd only
The whole issue of meteor color is complex. We now have many examples of
high resolution meteor spectra... but "color" is a physiological
phenomenon that isn't always easy to relate to physical spectra.
The light of meteors consists mostly of thermally broadened atomic
emission lines- lots of
I seek color in submitted witness reports, not necessarily to provide
additional scientific information (although it's data, so I wouldn't
completely rule out that possibility), but rather, to understand how
people see things differently, and to make for a more complete public
report, since
If you see a meteor that appears to strike the ground, it's probably
over 100 miles away. Maybe much more. That's because they stop burning
when they're a few tens of miles high.

Also important is to consider that the body in space may well have been
a good fraction of a meter (or more) across. But a meteorite producing
body didn't just ablate, it most likely fragments. And the small
fragments very, very rapidly drop below the speed necessary to sustain
ablation. So
There's really no way for such a stone to be heated significantly by the
energy dissipated when crashing through a roof.
In all likelihood, the reason that observed falls are reported as hot is
because people expect hot, and confuse hot with cold. I don't think the

No, this isn't spam in the usual sense. It's clearly directed towards

It's not uncommon for large fireballs to produce seismic signatures.
They're created by atmospheric shock waves hitting the ground. The

One over Colorado on Thanksgiving morning, as well. May have been 100
times brighter than the full Moon. I've only recorded three fireballs
this bright in 20 years. Exploded high, and over rough terrain, so not
much hope of finding any surviving material. But an impressive event.
A meteoroid in space is nominally at or just above freezing (i.e. 0° C),
but there is a fair range around that, especially toward the higher end,
depending on its emissivity. It almost certainly will not be very cold.
Space is not "cold". It is, of course, dominated by radiative heating

To be fair, we are sitting right now on a planet worth a lot more than
that! And we don't have to go anywhere to investigate it.
Resource quantity isn't really the problem. It's accessing those resources.

It was heading generally eastward over the Channel and was still burning
when it crossed the French shoreline. It is likely to have dropped
meteorites on land.
