[meteorite-list] Fireball over Florida - and, dealers who take Bitcoin?

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list]

Hi List,

This post is a two-fer.

#1) Does anyone know if the recent Florida fireball was favorable to
drop meteorites on land, or would they have fallen into the drink?

Link - https://www.livescience.com/fireball-florida-video.html

#2) Several years ago, I received a tiny amount of Bitcoin as payment
for writing a blog article. It was worth about $20 then. Now, it's
worth almost $200 and I would like to spend it while it's value is
high. Crypto is not my thing and I just want to get rid of it and be
done with it. Withdrawing it to my bank account and converting it to
real currency involves a high fee, so I would rather just spend it as
Bitcoin.

Does anyone know of a reputable dealer based in the US (no overseas)
who takes Bitcoin as payment? Or, do I need to buy a Tesla keychain
with it?

Thanks in advance!

Hello friends,
I imagine many of you must have seen the increase on facebook,  
twitter, etc. of several post including fake photos about a  
"meteorite on eastern Cuba". No meteorite has been recovered, it was  
just a fireball.
I have the data, but I need a fireball expert to help me better  
interpret the data to prepare an explanatory note. Please direct  
inbox, thanks!

Re: [meteorite-list] Fireball 'as bright as full moon' spotted in night sky over Japan

[Steinar Midtskogen via Meteorite-list]

Some more videos of the fireball off the Swedish west coast:

 http://norskmeteornettverk.no/bilder/2020/videos-20201128.mp4

The full moon is visible in a couple of the videos, which gives an idea
of the brightness.

It was visible for more than 10 seconds.

[Chris Peterson via Meteorite-list]

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.

Hi Bob,

My wife and I are planning on chasing this tomorrow. We will let you know if we 
have any luck.

Hello Roberto and List,

Thanks for posting those links.  I can only add one more, and you will have to 
go over to facebook to get more info on this event:

https://www.facebook.com/GalacticAnalyticsLLC/

This was a widely witnessed event with more than 9 videos and more still 
images, so more info "should be" forthcoming.
But it is hard to compete with all of the other sightings and recoveries:
Earlier on the same day as this event there was a recording of a fireball in 
Ontario, Canada.
And the recovery of a meteorite in India that same day has sucked-up a lot of 
the bandwidth.

I hope this U.S. event doesn't get overlooked, and that the time is taken to 
search the Doppler-radar data, and that something gets found.

Bob V.

[meteorite-list] Fireball Lights Pre-Dawn Sky over Arizona

[Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list]

http://www.nasa.gov/feature/fireball-lights-pre-dawn-sky-over-arizona

Fireball Lights Pre-Dawn Sky over Arizona
June 2, 2016

For a few seconds early Thursday, night turned into day as an extremely 
bright fireball lit the pre-dawn sky over much of Arizona, blinding all-sky 
meteor cameras as far away as western New Mexico.

Based on numerous eyewitness accounts, a small asteroid estimated at 10 
feet (3 meters) in diameter - with a mass in the tens of tons and a 
kinetic energy of approximately 10 kilotons - entered Earth's atmosphere 
above Arizona just before 4 a.m. local (MST) time. NASA estimates that 
the asteroid was moving at about 40,200 miles per hour (64,700 kilometers 
per hour).

Eyewitness reports placed the object at an altitude of 57 miles above 
the Tonto National Forest east of the town of Payson, moving almost due 
south. It was last seen at an altitude of 22 miles above that same forest.

"There are no reports of any damage or injuries - just a lot of light 
and few sonic booms," said Bill Cooke in NASA's Meteoroid Environment 
Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. "If 
Doppler radar is any indication, there are almost certainly meteorites 
scattered on the ground north of Tucson."

The NASA Meteoroid Environments Office (MEO) monitors the small rock 
(meteoroid) 
environment near Earth in order to assess the risks posed to spacecraft 
by these bits of tiny space debris. As part of this effort, it operates 
a network of meteor cameras within the U.S. that are capable of detecting 
meteors brighter than the planet Jupiter. Three of these cameras are in 
southern Arizona.

Cooke notes that he and other meteor experts are having difficulty obtaining 
data on the June 2 fireball from meteor camera videos, since many of the 
cameras were almost completely saturated by the bright event.

The event did leave smoke trails that were caught on video: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN--uCY0LUY 
and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sOqPOL1gIM. 

Meteoroid impacts are a continuously occurring natural process.  Every 
day, about 80 to 100 tons of material falls upon the Earth from space 
in the form of dust and meteorites. Over the past 20 years, U.S. government 
sensors have detected nearly 600 small asteroids, a few meters in size, 
which have entered the Earth's atmosphere and created spectacular bolides. 
The superbolide that impacted over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013 is estimated 
to have been 65 feet (20 meters) in size and released over 40 times the 
energy of the Arizona fireball. Impacts of that size take place a few 
times a century, and impacts of larger asteroids are expected to be far 
less frequent (on the scale of centuries to millennia) but can happen 
on any day.

NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office is responsible for finding, 
tracking, and characterizing near-Earth asteroids, identifying potentially 
hazardous objects, and planning for the mitigation of potential impacts 
to Earth that could do damage at ground level. More than 14,000 near-Earth 
asteroids (NEAs) have been discovered since NASA-sponsored efforts began 
in 1998 to detect, track and catalogue asteroids and comets.

[meteorite-list] Fireball Over Mexico on May 21

[Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list]

http://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/ball-of-fire-explosion-witnessed-in-3-states/

Ball of fire, explosion witnessed in 3 states
Mexico Daily News
May 21, 2016

There is speculation that a meteorite landed last night in Puebla

A brilliant flash of light followed by an explosion early this morning 
have led observers to conclude that a meteorite has fallen somewhere in 
the state of Puebla. 

Photos and videos in which a bright object is seen in the sky began appearing 
on social media just before 2:00am. Video cameras operated by Webcams 
de Mexico picked up the object itself from two locations in Mexico City 
as it entered the Earth's atmosphere.

Cameras in Puebla and Tlaxcala showed the intensity of the bright light 
as the object passed by.
 
One Twitter user reported that 20 seconds after seeing a ball of fire 
in the sky over Puebla there was a strong explosion.

The state's Civil Protection office said this morning it is working with 
firefighters in several areas of the state to determine whether it was 
indeed a meteorite that landed.

The Puebla Astronomical Society weighed in on Twitter by observing that 
the loud explosion heard by people in Mexico City, Puebla and Tlaxcala 
didn't necessarily mean it was a meteorite that had landed on Earth.

The society said it was more likely a meteor that exploded in the atmosphere.

Puebla Civil Protection director Fernando Estrella ruled out the suggestion 
that the explosion might have come from the volcano Popocatépetl.

Giant fireball 'ten times brighter than the moon' turns day to night in 
this spectacular footage
By Rachel Bishop
The Mirror
April 4, 2016

[Video]
Scientists caught the natural phenomenon that was caused by a piece of 
meteorite breaking off from a comet and hitting the Earth's atmosphere

Spanish scientists have captured the moment a fireball said to be ten 
times brighter than the moon hurtled through the sky.

The natural phenomenon was registered by the La Hita Observatory in Toledo 
in the early hours of this morning.

The incredible sight was caused by a 30kg meteorite, which had broken 
off from a comet, hitting the Earth's atmosphere.

The spectacle could also reportedly be seen in southern and eastern Spain, 
including the regions of Castilla-La Mancha, Valencia, Murcia and Andalusia.

Jose Maria Mateido, a professor at the University of Huelva in south-western 
Spain, explained that the fireball gave out the extraordinarily bright 
light when it hit the Earth's atmosphere at around 56,000 mph.

Giant fireball ten times brighter than the moon turns night into day
He said: "This amazing fireball turned the night into day for a fraction 
of a second."

The natural phenomenon was registered by the La Hita Observatory in Toledo, 
in central Spain
The fireball is just one in a series of similar spectacles which have 
been gracing the night sky in the last few months.

Mr Mateido analyses these meteorites as an astrophysicist for Spain's 
Spectroscopy of Meteoroids in the Atmosphere by means of Robotic Technologies 
(SMART) project, which is a collaboration between Spanish observatories.

[meteorite-list] Fireball Lights Up Skies Over Northern Italy, France, Switzerland

Falling meteorite lights up skies over northern Italy
The Local
18 Feb 2016
   
A streaking fireball brighter than the full moon lit up skies over northern 
Italy on Wednesday evening.

The fireball left a trail of vapour hanging in the sky for minutes.

Not long after the unusual event, pictures of bright flashes, vapour trails 
and eyewitness reports started to emerge on social media, with users suggesting 
they had witnessed a meteorite falling to earth.

The unidentified flying object lit up skies over northern Italy, travelling 
east to west from Genoa to Venice at around 6.19pm.

Sightings of the object were also reported from as far away as southern 
France and Switzerland.

La Repubblica reported a spike in phone calls made to Italy's fire brigade 
to report the phenomenon.

A photo of the vapour trail, captured on a road outside Genoa, was uploaded 
to the Italian citizen journalism website, YouReporter.

"The object crossed the sky for about four seconds... I've never seen 
anything like it," the user, called Masdives, wrote. "This is a picture 
of the contrail I took, which was in the sky for about a minute."

Moments later a similar object was seen hurtling over the skies of Venice 
almost 400 kilometers further east.

Angelo 1960 uploaded a photo snapped above town of Jesolo, showing a bright 
flaming object streaking through the sky.

"I saw it coming down rapidly, followed by a trail of smoke and fire," 
he wrote.

Sightings of the object were not limited to Italy, with reports also emerging 
from as far away as southern France and Switzerland.

Twitter user Romain Magellan uploaded a pic of the object snapped above 
the ski resort of Valmorel in France.
 
Reports of Thursday's UFO are consistent with descriptions of a bolide 
- a small piece of rock or ice from outer space that burn up as they race 
through the earths atmosphere before hitting the ground.

Bolides are extremely bright objects - often with apparent magnitudes 
much brighter than the full moon.

According to American space agency Nasa, some 100 tons of dust, gravel, 
rock and ice enter the earth's atmosphere every day.

Hi Robert,

That would be like a dream come true. When it comes down to it I guess it would 
be okay if it killed me, something is going to be my demise one day, may as 
well be a swift blow to the head by a piece of cosmic debris!

Don,

As kind as your intentions were, I just have to point out that you got it all 
wrong! If you really want the best for Larry, you need to adjust the scenario 
to where the meteorite actually DOES hit him. Obviously no serious injury, but 
definitely enough to cause some bleeding ... and the need for a few stitches. I 
mean, can you imagine how COOL it would be to go down in history as the first 
confirmed person to have been cut by a falling meteorite!?? And stitches??? 
What unbelievable bragging rights when showing off THAT scar!!! Could it get 
any better than that? You agree, don't you, Larry?  ;-)

Best wishes to all,
Robert Woolard

USSTRATCOM's TIP messages of recent hours showed that the rocket body of the 
recently launched PROGRESS MS-01 (2015-080B / 41178) could decay at about that 
time over the region. I will await details before reaching a conclusion.

[meteorite-list] Fireball over Florida Nov. 10

[Larry Lebofsky via Meteorite-list]

Hello everyone:

A few days ago, I received a question from a friend of mine in Florida.
His all-sky camera had picked up a -18 magnitude fireball on Nov. 10 and
he was wondering how that translates to the size of the object that
produced it. I told him that velocity was a major factor, but would see if
anyone could give me an estimate of size anyway.

Thanks in advance.

Larry

[meteorite-list] Fireball Sighting Over Ireland

[Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list]

http://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/parts-of-a-meteorite-seen-in-irish-skies-could-have-landed-1.2423425

Parts of a meteorite seen in Irish skies could have landed

Astronomy Ireland appeals for sightings after reports of ‘colossal explosion’ 
on Sunday

Aine McMahon
Irish Times
November 9, 2015

Astronomy Ireland has said parts of a meteorite seen flashing across the 
sky last night could have landed on earth.

It said a "colossal explosion" was seen over Ireland on Sunday night at 
about 8.15pm and said reports are urgently needed to locate any meteorite 
that was dropped as a result.

The Astronomy Ireland website received numerous reports from people all 
across Ireland reporting the flash was so bright that it lit up the landscape 
for several seconds.

Astronomy Ireland believes it was was a rock in space colliding with Earth 
and burning up in the sky hundreds of miles above Ireland.

"From a flash this bright it is possible that part of the rock survived 
the re-entry process and landed on Earth", said rditor of Astronomy Ireland 
magazine, David Moore.

"A fireball in November 1999 that dropped a meteorite on Ireland was found 
in Co Carlow after a similar analysis by Astronomy Ireland. Collectors 
were later selling bits of this meteorite for 50 times the price of gold 
at the time, so meteorites can be very valuable," added Mr Moore.

He asked people who saw the event to report sightings on the Astronomy 
Ireland website, astronomy.ie, so that others can search the area for 
meteorites.

[meteorite-list] Fireball Caught on Dashcam over Bangkok For the Second Time in Recent Months

[Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list]

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/meteor-bangkok-thailand-bolide-a6718571.html

Meteor spotted burning above Bangkok sky for the second time in recent months
The Independent
November 2, 2015

A large, mysterious ball of fire has shot across the sky above Bangkok 
- the second in recent months.

Dashcam videos show a huge green light shooting across the sky above Thailand, 
burning bright and then disappearing out of sight. The videos were shot 
this week and show the bright light shooting across the night sky.

The meteor is the second bright light to be seen in the Thai skies in 
recent months.

On 7 September, a similar fireball was spotted over many parts of the 
country. Experts including the National Astronomical Research Institute 
of Thailand said that the blaze was caused by a meteor, about 3.5 metres 
wide, flying into Earth's atmosphere and likely burning up before it hit 
the ground.

"It's all burned away" Worawit Tanwutthibundit, an astronomer at Chachoengsao 
Observatory, told a local newspaper. "The photo of the white smoke that 
has been shared a lot is in fact the train of smoke of a meteor. The public 
need not be concerned. This is a normal phenomenon."

It isn't clear whether this week's light was from a similar source. But 
the quality of the like looks almost the same, with a bright white light 
followed by a trail.

Perhaps the most famous such "bolide" - as astronomers refer to meteors 
that explode in the atmosphere often with huge, bright flashes - was the 
one that shot above the sky over Russia in 2013.

[meteorite-list] Fireball Sighted Over Oman

[Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list]

http://timesofoman.com/article/67344/Oman/Science-/Meteor-like-unidentified-object-enter-Oman-atmosphere

Meteor like unidentified object entered Oman atmosphere
by Tariq Al Haremi
Times of Oman
September 10, 2015
 
Muscat: Meteor like unidentified object did enter the Sultanate's atmosphere 
on Wednesday night, however it is not clear whether it landed in Oman 
or not, according to Saleh Al Shidhani from the Oman Astronomical Society, 
Locals in Wilayat of Yanqul in Al Dhahira Governorate reported that they 
witnessed Meteor like object and also heard the crash.

Speaking to Times of Oman, Saleh Al Shidhani from the Oman Astronomical 
Society, said, "Based on the information we have gathered currently, we 
can't confirm whether it was a meteorite or not."

"We are also not sure whether it landed in Sultanate, but it definitely 
passed through the atmosphere. But we don't know where it landed exactly," 
he further added, saying that the object passed through Al Dhahira Governorate 
and probably continued to the United Arab Emirates.

"The villagers had conflicting stories where some of them said they had 
heard the explosion when others denied it. We will send a team to that 
region and question the witnesses and investigate the matter,' said Al 
Shidhani.

Oman is a favorable destination for meteorite expeditions and collectors 
where the gravel plains in the Dhofar and Al Wusta regions of the Sultanate 
had yielded over 5,000 meteorites as of the middle of 2009 of both Lunar 
(Moon) and Martian (Mars) meteorites.

The Sultanate has proven to be extremely important for scientists as the 
land became a source for rare meteorites.

Some meteorites worth mentioning are Sayh Al Uhaymir 051 (SaU 51), Sayh 
Al Uhaymir 094 (SaU 94) and Dhofar 019, which are all Martian meteorites.

Over 22,000 meteorites have been discovered in the world where over 180 
of them are Omani consisting of both Lunar and Martian meteorites.

However, a law has passed deeming the collection of meteorite from the 
Sultanate a crime as it is considered a national treasure to the country.

Having a lot of relatives in this part of PA, I'm very familiar with this area. 
 But, 
this area has had a long history of visitations from "out there" in space, and 
has become a localized hot-bed for ufologists.  Starting with:

[meteorite-list] Fireball Observed Over Spain

[Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list]

Great balls of fire: Meteor illuminates Spanish skyline (VIDEO)
rt.com
Published time: September 08, 2014 16:18 
Edited time: September 09, 2014 07:01

Early risers got an unexpected treat on Sunday in Spain, as a fireball 
whistled across the country - lighting up the morning sky. It passed through 
eight regions, traveling the length of the country, leaving a trail of 
smoke in its wake.

The Spanish Meteor Network confirmed the fireball had passed over the 
country; however, they did not know where it had originated, the Local 
reported.

It was also visible over Barcelona; however, not everyone would have managed 
to catch a glimpse as it passed over at 6.55am.

Just under a year and a half ago, another fireball streaked across the 
Spanish capital Madrid. The celestial display was so bright it could be 
seen across the entire country.

The eye-popping moment was caught on camera by the Hita Observatory at 
the University of Huelva at around 11:45pm local time (21:45 GMT). The 
object struck the atmosphere above the Villamuelas district in the province 
of Toledo, southwest of Madrid.

Fireballs are caused by meteors burning up as they enter Earth's atmosphere. 
They travel at incredibly high speeds, up to 73km per second. Fireballs 
tend to be brighter than meteors, while especially bright fireballs such 
as the one over Spain on Sunday are often called bolides.

In February 2013, Russia's Urals region was rocked by a meteorite explosion 
in the stratosphere. The impact wave damaged several buildings, while 
1,200 people in Chelyabinsk had to seek medical attention.

Mass UFO Scare as Burning Meteorite Hits Spanish Skies
By Minnie Nair 
International Business Times
September 9, 2014 

Panic and fear spread among residents and holiday makers in Barcelona 
when a burning meteorite was mistaken for a UFO.

According to a report in Standard Media, hundreds of residents called 
up emergency services, while social media sites were abuzz with pictures 
and panicky messages after a meteorite lit up the Spanish skies with a 
trail of fire. While many mistook the meteorite for an alien intervention, 
some others thought it was a burning plane.

The moments replicated the fall of a meteorite in Russia last year. In 
that incident, the burning meteorite had created moments of fear and confusion 
as it exploded with a loud bang, which created vibrations that left a 
few buildings damaged. The meteor crashed on Russia's Ural Mountains, 
injuring at least 950 people, leaving them with cuts and bruises.

The places which reported the sighting are: Barcelona, Aragan, Castilla-La 
Manch, Castilla y Lean, Valencia, AndalucAa and Extremadura. The meteorite 
was also recorded by the Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet).

"We think the meteorite may have flown over more areas of the country 
including Aragon, however, because it was pretty cloudy there we believe 
it may have been widely missed, and was only spotted when it emerged over 
a clear area that included Barcelona," the report quoted Spanish astrophysicist 
Jose Maria Trigo as saying.

"But nevertheless, it has been made easier thanks to all the social media 
video footage and pictures", Trigo added.

While it is believed that the meteorite did not completely burn down and 
has certainly touched the surface of the earth, the crash location is 
yet to be discovered. According to Trigo, the very size of the meteorite 
determined that it could not completely burn down, before touching base 
on earth.

Hello Listers

Not sure if there has been any video footage posted on the List from the
Alabama fireball, if not here is an article on the fireball and a link
to some video footage.

Fireball observed over Weiss Lake in Alabama

August 5, 2014--4:11 p.m.

From NASA



At 10:19 PM Central Daylight Time on August 2 (Saturday night), NASA
meteor cameras detected a very bright fireball at an altitude of 57
miles above Hoodoo Road just east of the town of Beechgrove, TN.

The meteoroid, which was about 15 inches in diameter and weighed close
to 100 lbs, travelled just over 100 miles to the south south east at
47,000 miles per hour, breaking apart in a brilliant flash of light
above the Alabama town of Henagar.

The cameras continued to track a large fragment until it disappeared 18
miles above Gaylesville, located near Lake Weiss close to the Georgia
state line.

At last sight, the fragment was still traveling at 11,000 miles per
hour.

Based on the meteor’s speed, final altitude, and weak doppler radar
signatures, it is believed that this fireball produced small meteorites
on the ground somewhere between Borden Springs, AL and Lake Weiss.

The meteoroid’s orbit has its farthest point between the orbits of
Mars and Jupiter, and is inclined to that of the Earth (which explains
its southerly direction).

The NASA Meteoroid Environment Office would like to hear from those in
the area around Alabama’s Lake Weiss who may have heard sonic booms or
like sounds around 10:20 PM Saturday night. Please contact Dr. Bill
Cooke at william.j.co...@nasa.gov if you have reports of such.

[meteorite-list] Fireball meteors emit unique radio wave signals

[Shawn Alan via Meteorite-list]

Listers,
Now we will be able to listen to meteors with out AM/FM radios
:)

Down below is a cool article about how scientist are about to pick up
radio signatures from meteors burning up in the atmosphere from the
plasma on the meteor.

Fireball meteors emit unique radio wave signals
15:37 03 June 2014 by Jessica Orwig

After 50 years of trying, physicists have tuned in to the radio waves
emitted by fireballs streaking through Earth's atmosphere.

A meteor with a tail as bright, or brighter, than Venus is known as a
fireball – the Chelyabinsk meteor that broke apart over Russia early
last year is an example. At its brightest, the Chelyabinsk fireball
appeared brighter than the sun.

Fireballs ionise nearby air as they barrel through Earth's atmosphere,
generating a super-bright plasma trail. In 1958, Gerald Hawkins, then at
Boston University, predicted that this plasma should produce radio waves
as it cools. But hunts for these radio emissions were inconclusive at
best.

Now we know that Hawkins was right. Kenneth Obenberger at the University
of New Mexico in Albuquerque and his colleagues were searching for
mysterious events called radio bursts in data from the Long Wavelength
Array, an observatory in New Mexico. Radio bursts show up as points of
radiation in images. But to the team's surprise, analysis of 11,000
hours of data included evidence of 10 low-frequency radio bursts that
appeared smudged across the sky.

Meteor radio

The shapes of the smudges were reminiscent of fireballs streaming
through the sky. So the team looked at data from a NASA survey telescope
that records meteors and that scans some of the same parts of the sky as
the radio array. Each of the elongated radio events correlated in time
and space with known fireballs, says Obenberger.

"It's the first detection that is believable because it's based on
imaging," says Peter Jenniskens at the SETI Institute and NASA Ames
Research Center in California's Silicon Valley. "It's a new way of
looking at meteors."

The team still needs to work out the exact physical mechanism that
causes fireballs to emit these specific low-frequency signals. Solving
the puzzle could help improve our understanding of other mysterious
events that create plasmas in Earth's atmosphere, such as lightning
strikes and ball lightning, says David Meisel, executive director of the
American Meteor Society in Geneseo, New York.

[meteorite-list] Fireball over Oregon tonight

[Edwin Thompson]

We had a fairly large fireball just 31 minutes ago at 8:31p.m. Pacific time, 
color was mostly green heading east just north of Grant's Pass and it was seen 
to break into three pieces. It lit things up at dusk and was most likely seen 
by a number of people driving north and south on interstate 5. The weather is 
nice today and the skies are clear here in the west. Hopefully there will be 
plenty of eye witnesses. Only a few so far.

[meteorite-list] Fireball Observed Over California

[Ron Baalke]

http://cams.seti.org/?utm_source=buffer&utm_campaign=Buffer&utm_content=buffer16db2
 

Ames Research Center
CAMS
News blog:
 
[Image]
California fireball of 2013 October 22th at 19:54:03 local time (Oct 23 
at 02:54:03 UT), in a video compilation by Dave Samuels in Brentwood using 
a Watec 902H2 Ultimate camera with 12mm/f1.2 lens and the CAMS single-camera 
software.

2013, Oct 22 - A bright fireball was seen by many in the Bay Area this 
evening around 19:54 local time in California. Bryant Grigsby reported 
that it caught his attention by the shadows it cast on a wall in front 
of him. Karen Randall described it as green, fragmenting towards the end. 
At the College of San Mateo, Daryl Stanford said: "It started out bluish 
white, then turned green; and it finally seemed to spiral and fragment 
at the end." Indications are that this meteor ended over the ocean. 
Nevertheless, 
the CAMS records are being collected. The first in is that of station 
213 (Dave Samuels in Brentwood), shown in the picture above. The meteor 
left the field of view at the bottom, only the beginning part is shown. 
Keep tuned for a trajectory solution and updates.


[Image]
Update (Oct 23 1:30 am local time): The Sunnyvale station operated by 
Jim Albers caught the fireball on cameras 53, 11, 12, 152, 171 and 173! 
Camera 53 shows the beginning part of the trajectory (see picture above).

Combining the Sunnyvale camera 53 astrometry with results from the 213 
camera in Brentwood provides the following preliminary solution from 
triangulation (calculations by Peter Jenniskens, SETI Institute and NASA 
Ames Research Center, based on observations by CAMS project participants 
Dave Samuels and Jim Albers):

Meteor was first seen at 02:53:59.5 UT (19:53:59 local time) 
Entered Earth atmosphere with speed 17.3 km/s 
Trajectory came from the East. 
Arrived from a direction Right Ascension = 26.5 degree, Declination = 
+11.2 degrees, near the star o Piscium. 
First seen at 87.8 km altitude, at Lat = +37.636N, Long = 121.8092W. 
Trajectory was shallow: inclined by 19.5 degrees with horizontal. 
Was tracked by CAMS camera 213 down to 60.9 km at Lat = 37.6475N Long 
= 122.6466W. 
The meteoroid penetrated well below that. 
Meteoroid pre-atmospheric orbit had the following properties: 
low-inclined orbit: inclination = 3.8 degrees 
Short orbit: semi-major axis = 1.15 AU 
Low perihelion distance = 0.653 AU

According to Jenniskens, based on these preliminary results this was not 
a member of the Taurid shower, but likely a rock of asteroidal origin. 
Sadly, any surviving meteorites would have landed in the Pacific Ocean.

[meteorite-list] Fireball. Phx, AZ. 10:06pm 2.12.13

[Erik Fisler]

Just saw a fireball from my porch moving at a 45-55 degree angle from the 
horizon while I was facing south with Camelback Mountain in my view. The 
fireball went below the mountains heading North. I didn't see it break up but 
with light pollution factored in I feel it was probably big enough to have 
dropped material in another state north of AZ. For reference my house is 
roughly 60th st and Thomas in Scottsdale, AZ. Time to check sky cams!  Email me 
at phx.e.f...@gmail.com with questions as I probably won't see replies from the 
list on the alternate email I am subscribed to the list on.

Happy Lincoln's birthday and happy Tucson show!

Hello Listers 

Arequipa, Peru–On May 17, Thursday, someone shot video of a strange object that 
looks like a fireball.
The strange fireball was seen in the sky in Arequipa, Peru and caused great 
surprise for onlookers wondering what it was.
Strange enough, this isn’t the first incident with fireballs or meteoroids in 
Peru.
In September 2007, more than 600 were reported sick after a meteoroid landed.
And in August 2011 a suspected meteor streaked across the sky over the city of 
Cusco in Peru.

Stuart, List,

The "size of a mini-van" suggests an asteroid
with a radius of 3 meters (if spherical). I wouln't
call a six-meter asteroid "huge."

Further, if it was indeed carbonaceous, it would
likely be quite dark and have a low albedo, making
its detection even more difficult.

It may have been detected regardless of what angle
it approached from.

Fireball Over California/Nevada: How Big Was It?
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
April 24, 2012

A bright ball of light traveling east to west was seen over the skies of
central/northern California Sunday morning, April 22. The former space
rock-turned-flaming-meteor entered Earth's atmosphere around 8 a.m. PDT.
Reports of the fireball have come in from as far north as Sacramento,
Calif. and as far east as North Las Vegas, Nev.

Bill Cooke of the Meteoroid Environments Office at NASA's Marshall Space
Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., estimates the object was about the
size of a minivan, weighed in at around 154,300 pounds (70 metric tons)
and at the time of disintegration released energy equivalent to a
5-kiloton explosion.

"Most meteors you see in the night's sky are the size of tiny stones or
even grains of sand and their trail lasts all of a second or two," said
Don Yeomans of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "Fireballs you can see
relatively easily in the daytime and are many times that size - anywhere
from a baseball-sized object to something as big as a minivan."

Elizabeth Silber of the Meteor Group at the Western University of
Canada, Ontario, estimates the location of its explosion in the upper
atmosphere above California's Central Valley.

Eyewitnesses of this fireball join a relatively exclusive club. "An
event of this size might happen about once a year," said Yeomans. "But
most of them occur over the ocean or an uninhabited area, so getting to
see one is something special."

NASA detects, tracks and characterizes asteroids and comets passing
close to Earth using both ground- and space-based telescopes. The
Near-Earth Object Observations Program, commonly called "Spaceguard,"
discovers these objects, characterizes a subset of them, and establishes
their orbits to determine if any could be potentially hazardous to our
planet. JPL manages the Near-Earth Object Program Office for NASA's
Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of the
California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

The "size of a mini-van" suggests an asteroid
with a radius of 3 meters (if spherical). I wouln't
call a six-meter asteroid "huge."

Further, if it was indeed carbonaceous, it would
likely be quite dark and have a low albedo, making
its detection even more difficult.

It may have been detected regardless of what angle
it approached from.

So my question is.why didn't anyone detect this obviously huge 
meteoroid in space before entry?

Fireball Over California/Nevada: How Big Was It?
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
April 24, 2012

A bright ball of light traveling east to west was seen over the skies 
of

central/northern California Sunday morning, April 22. The former space
rock-turned-flaming-meteor entered Earth's atmosphere around 8 a.m. 
PDT.

Reports of the fireball have come in from as far north as Sacramento,
Calif. and as far east as North Las Vegas, Nev.

Bill Cooke of the Meteoroid Environments Office at NASA's Marshall 
Space

Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., estimates the object was about the
size of a minivan, weighed in at around 154,300 pounds (70 metric 
tons)

and at the time of disintegration released energy equivalent to a
5-kiloton explosion.

"Most meteors you see in the night's sky are the size of tiny stones 
or
even grains of sand and their trail lasts all of a second or two," 
said

Don Yeomans of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "Fireballs you can see
relatively easily in the daytime and are many times that size - 
anywhere

from a baseball-sized object to something as big as a minivan."

Elizabeth Silber of the Meteor Group at the Western University of
Canada, Ontario, estimates the location of its explosion in the upper
atmosphere above California's Central Valley.

Eyewitnesses of this fireball join a relatively exclusive club. "An
event of this size might happen about once a year," said Yeomans. "But
most of them occur over the ocean or an uninhabited area, so getting 
to

see one is something special."

NASA detects, tracks and characterizes asteroids and comets passing
close to Earth using both ground- and space-based telescopes. The
Near-Earth Object Observations Program, commonly called "Spaceguard,"
discovers these objects, characterizes a subset of them, and 
establishes

their orbits to determine if any could be potentially hazardous to our
planet. JPL manages the Near-Earth Object Program Office for NASA's
Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of the
California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

OK, makes sense. But one being that close to Earth would not have been 
detected prior?

Have you ever watched any old war movies? Fighter pilots attack from the
direction of the Sun. This was a daytime fireball and so probably came in
from the sunward side, so not easy to detect.

[meteorite-list] Fireball 28FEB12 12:17am

[Erik Fisler]

I was in the parking lot in my apartment complex and saw another fire ball last 
night! It was a short window of view time as it was almost directly above me. 
It was heading north west. View time approximately 1 second. Location: 
basically Smith and University Drive, Tempe, AZ.

[meteorite-list] Fireball Radar Image?

[Randy Lutz]

Since it's near my locale, I was interested in the fireball reported 
near Wisconsin on Jan 2nd. More info here:
http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.com/2012/01/ia-wi-mn-meteor-fireball-2jan2012.html. 



I found some archived nexrad data that seems to show a debris trail at 
the correct time:
http://vortex.plymouth.edu/gen_nids.cgi?ident=ARX&pl=dhr&yy=2012&mm=01&dd=02&hh=14&nn=00&size=1280x960&loop=yes2&zoom=.173¢er= 



The radar image is in the general direction of the fireball as caught by 
Tim Cline's all sky camera:

http://www.timcline.org/meteors/meteors_night_sky_cam_2012.php

Any thoughts??  Is this real and might there be "Rocks on the Ground"?

This should make an excellent test for the skycam networks and any other 
tracking networks out there.

I sure hope someone catches a view of it and reports it.
Great training and practice exercise for all ...not to mention playing hide 
and seek with NASA with parts found! ;)

When it comes to green fireballs, I've always enjoyed seeing  the green 
Perseid fireballs that went over head in August...too fast for  meteorites to 
survive of course.

[U.S. Airborne]

Hi Michael  Thanks for the heads up on the Montana & Southern Saskatchewan 
meteor sighting.  The report below was all I could find on a quick search. 
If any of list knows of more please shot me over a e-mail.


( 2011-04-07 03:20 MDT  Jon M Polson, MT 93/60 - 90/40 -9 Y  Y 
N  N  I was indoors with the TV on, and still saw the meteor. I wish it 
wasn't cloudy, but it went in and out of view 4or 5 times. It was awesome. 
Incredible fragmentation, large pieces that had there own trains. It was a 
glowing train with parts breaking off. There were some clouds so my line of 
sight was a little broken up. ))


Iam really ready to go hunt some fresh meteorite falls this month, as i 
Just got back home to WA State from my Florida airshow that I gotta do 
yearly. Last week during the show a tornado tore down the runways & airshow 
grounds & damaged about 70 aircraft ( updated tally of damage from FAA). 
Luckily my two show aircraft survived as we broke them down & stored them in 
a 24ft trailer. My heart goes out to all my fellow aviators that lost there 
dream aircraft to this big Florida storm. Luckily no one was killed .


Sure ready for some of these April green NEO to help produce some meteorites 
on the ground out here in the western USA.


I wonder how many SR hunters headed to TENN. to give it a look over ? Were 
there ever any reports of sonic booms any where near the area?  I did not 
read of any my self. looks to be a mixture of small pastures & farm fields, 
Lots of Trees & some water. If any ones out there now I hope you get some 
new finds ASAP.


Also wanted to say thanks to Rob, Mike & Bill & all the rest of guys for 
all your help you give to the meteorite hunters.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fireball question / sonic boom

[wahlperry]

Hi Jeff and List

Thanks for the link "Sounds Associated with Witnessed Meteorite Falls". 
 As a newcomer to chasing fireballs my experience is limited. My only  
reference is what locals experienced at  Buzzard Coulee , Ash Creek and 
Mifflin. At Buzzard Coulee the locals within the main strewn field 
explained the event as explosions of large fireworks. One resident was 
working in his garage said it sounded like someone  was rolling bowling 
balls across his tin roof than a large flash illuminated outside. Ash 
Creek residents under  one of the main breakups reported hearing a 
large explosion and then seeing a smoke trail followed by two more 
explosions.  At Mifflin I had a chance to talk with numerous residents. 
Near Mineral Point one person described the sound as a large explosion 
followed by a popping sound and then a vacuum sound as the meteor 
passed overhead. At the far end of the strewn field 10 miles East of 
Mineral Point  the sound was described as rumbling sound compared to 
thunder followed by the same vacuum sound as the meteor passed 
overhead. The best way they explained the vacuum sound was as if a 
military jet was passing directly overhead at high speed.

>>Ablation ceases at 3-4 km/s  (about Mach 10), and this is about where the

Thanks Chris...When math  gets beyond my ten fingers and ten toes, I get 
swamped. :O) 
Not sure if I've  converted it right, but I end up with something like:

3km/s equals 1.76  miles/sec of which that equals about 6336 mph.

again...
4km/s equals  2.35 miles/sec of which that equals about 8460 mph. 

So if I counted on  my toes properly, the point of retardation in mph comes 
to be in the approximate  range of 6336mph to 8460 mph?

Re: [meteorite-list] Fireball question / sonic boom

[David Norton]

Good morning. Sonic booms are formed by shock wave created by the rapid
displacement of air. The change in air pressure required to generate the
shock wave is only a few pounds per SF. There is a wave generated on the
front and at the back of a moving object. The size of the waves are
determined by the size, shape and mass of the object.

The ability to hear sonic booms are influenced by several factors besides
the weight, shape and size of the moving object. Altitude, flight path and
weather will influence the ability to actually hear the sonic boom on the
ground. Altitude influences the distance the shock wave have to travel
before hitting the ground. The wave dissipates with distance. This is
probably the single biggest influence on the ability to hear the sonic boom.
Wind can affect the shock wave as can the terrain on the earth underneath
the flight of an object. Flight path can affect the wave. A straight path
will generate a stronger wave than an irregular path. A meteor breaking up
will have a more irregular path. 

The width of the wave for an aircraft is about 1 mile per 1000 feet of
altitude. The wave is strongest directly below the object and weakest on the
perimeter of the wave.

The speed of sound as mentioned is a number that is for sea level.
Differences in atmospheric conditions will allow for variances in the speed
of sound.

Hi List,

It seems like there have been many fireball sightings in the past few 
months but no material being found on the ground, as in the recent 
Oklahoma event. I was wondering if the absence of a sonic boom has 
anything to do with it.
Does a sonic boom or explosion have to be present for a major meteorite 
producing event? Could there still be a few meteorites on the ground with 
no sonic boom? With Buzzard Coulee, Mifflin, Ash Creek these events all

When you mean that in terms of "none reported": the Glanerbrug fall of 1990 in

Re: [meteorite-list] Fireball question / sonic boom

[Chris Peterson]

The vast majority of meteorites retard while they are still far too high for 
sonic booms to reach the ground. The big, impressive fireballs that are more 
massive and reach lower heights are the exceptions. The meteoroids that slow 
down while still high are more likely to produce single meteorites; those 
that have enough mass to reach low altitudes still traveling at high speed 
tend to fragment and produce strewn fields.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fireball question / sonic boom

[Chris Peterson]

I think most large fireballs do not produce meteorites. Most meteorites are 
the product of rather ordinary meteors, which survive because they are slow 
and shallow and slow down while still very high, don't fragment, and produce 
single individuals. Of course, the vast majority of these are never found, 
and those that are have no associated fireball. When there are big 
fireballs- the sort that get meteorite hunters salivating- the situation is 
different. Most big fireballs probably don't produce meteorites. Those that 
do, however, do so because they start off with enough mass that they can 
afford to lose 95% of it and still have something get low enough to hit 
dense air at a low enough speed to avoid complete destruction. That height 
is below about 30 km, which happens to be about the height where sonic booms 
can be produced and reach the ground. So the presence of a sonic boom with a 
fireball is a useful indicator that meteorites might be produced. The 
absence of one, however, probably shouldn't be taken as an indicator that 
they were not, since a meteor can still end (without complete ablation) high 
enough that no sonic boom will reach the ground.

Something to consider...  If all events with sonic booms generate meteorites, 
then there are meteorites on the ground in Louisiana/Mississippi from the big 
fireball there a couple of months back.  Here's Jake Schaefer's page on that 
event again...

So,

  Like the old question goes: 
 
     If a meteorite falls and makes a sonic boom, but nobody is there to hear 
it, does it still make a sound?  ;-)

   Best wishes,

All,

There are several falls where no sonic boom was noticed.  Speaking of US falls, 
the last two that come to mind are Berthoud, CO and New Orleans, LA.  Others 
that I can readily recall are Salem, OR and Athens, AL.  Reports from the 
latter 
two specifically state there were no "explosions" or booms.

Cheers,

Frank

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies. It sounds like a sonic boom my be a determining 
factor in recovering meteorites and which fireballs to chase.

Curious... I know there are many variables involved, and it probably

that some people have heard sonic booms (as low boom/rumbles) up to 50 
miles away or more.Couldn't one figure out that distance by calculating

Sonny,

A good question. I can't speak to the Wheststone event, but with Park Forest 
there were sonic booms reported by many in the area.

[meteorite-list] Fireball question / sonic boom

[wahlperry]

Hi List,

It seems like there have been many fireball sightings in the past few 
months but no material being found on the ground, as in the recent 
Oklahoma event. I was wondering if the absence of a sonic boom has 
anything to do with it.
Does a sonic boom or explosion have to be present for a major meteorite 
producing event? Could there still be a few meteorites on the ground 
with no sonic boom? With Buzzard Coulee, Mifflin, Ash Creek these 
events all produced meteorites and sonic booms were heard by the 
locals. Does anyone know if there were sonic booms associated with the 
Park Forest and Whetstone events?


Thanks,
Sonny

Yes fireballs leave a "train" of ionized air and a "trail" of smoke

   I talked to an eye witness in Wisconsin that said she saw the same thing, 
the light in the sky.
  I this a common occurrence with fireballs? I have never heard of it before I

I just got a report from a neighbor in freeland md who witnessed what
he called a massive fireball. It started in the south from his
position, went over head and ended in the north. He said it left
behind a brilliant white streak of light in the sky that remained for
a few seconds after the fireball had past.
