Reports Report 1976ad (Event 1976-2012)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | David S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | In the "first direction" and "last direction" fields, it would be more accurate to say the fireball started in the SSE and ended almost S, in other words, close to a vertical drop. Since we were in a hot tub, our time of occurrence is approximate. In an editing vein, your example in "Date & Time" for 24-hour format is "(ex. 3:15 pm is 15:00)," clearly an error. Also, in "first direction" and "last direction," you repeat the word direction twice each time. Finally, from reports in lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.jp, it seems the meteorite was headed for some location between Yosemite National Park and Fresno, CA. |
