Remarks |
Initial entry of the fireball was obstructed from my view by my porch roof and I only caught a view of it after it had passed beyong the SW end of the porch where I was sitting, but I did clearly observe it from that point until it was no longer "burning". I also clearly witnessed fragmentation of the fireball, with at least a few smaller bodies falling behind the main bolide before being extinguished. I did not, however, hear any sonic booms following the sighting. It seems fairly certain that this one dropped some rocks somewhere SW of where I saw it. Also, I'm an avid collector of meteorites and would love to have a small sample of what was the first daytime fireball I have ever seen, and in all likelihood my last! I would be more than happy to give any additional information you might find helpful. BTW, the time of day on the report is almost exact since recording the time was one of the first things I did. |
