Thanks to all who have been updating us on
this exciting news. From what I have read thus
far, the fireball seems to have flown on
a NW to SE path. over Albuquerque, Las
Cruces and then finally exploding near El Paso.
This leads me to believe that if there
was
fallout from this that it landed right over
the border into Mexico, near Juarez. Also heard
a report of aluminum flakes falling like snow.
Anyone have any clues about this? Semms like
I read somwhere that the Sikhote-Alin
fireball produced this same material. Any
additional comments would be helpful. Also
I saw a video of the fireball this morning.
Looks like Peekskill, except in daylight!!
Best Wishes,
Matt Morgan
