| Remarks | I was impressed by how gradual and graceful this fireball streamed across the lower horizon. It seemed so bright that I told my wife that I thought it must have landed a few miles away from where I initially saw it. Now as I read other postings (in St Louis area) I realize how far it must have been away from Columbia. Do you check "weather cameras" operated by local TV stations to see if the images show up on them? I guess it would be happen stance if the camera was pointed in an easterly direction. I know there is a camera in Columbia, Jeff City, and Fulton, MO that KOMU reports on. I think they call it the KOMU WeatherCam. Thanks for any feedback you can give me. John |
