Fireball Sightings Log: 2010

Maintained by Robert Lunsford 
AMS Operations Manager

The below table lists, in reverse chronological order, the fireball reports received by the American Meteor Society during 2010. Individual fireball events are numbered numerically, with letters added for multiple eyewitnesses when this can be determined (such as 23c: event 23, witness 3). Magnitude refers to the brightness of the object where -5 is equivalent to the planet Venus (now visible low in the evening sky), -9 is equivalent to the light produced by the half illuminated moon, -13 is equivalent to the light produced by the full moon, and -27 is equivalent to the light produced by the sun. Persistent train refers to a fading streak of light that remains after the fireball has vanished.
