Remarks |
I was driving on Hwy 84/285 south toward Santa Fe, passing thru Arroyo Seco. I picked an address of a business I knew on that route, and I would have seen the fireball if I was standing in their parking lot but I was actually in my car driving and was about 1 mile from that address (south of it). I'm not sure of the settings I've entered with the automated mechanisms but I pulled out my iPhone and opened my compass right away and I estimate that the fireball was traveling from west/southwest to east. It was not high at all, probably the lowest one I've seen, and seemed to fall right in that general area which would be over Pojoaque or Nambe. I have a photo I took a few weeks ago from the off-ramp there and it shows that actual area if you care to see it I can email it. If I had access to that area I might go looking around for a meteorite, that's how low and close this one seemed to be but I know that perception can be wrong. I did mark the time and the direction immediately and am reporting from work in Santa Fe later that same morning. Thanks |
