Hi all,

I'm still not able to follow the posts here on the list on a regular
basis due to work and other astronomy commitments but did want to pass
on the link to my friend Chris Peterson's site where he has some
interesting info on the Thanksgiving fireball here in Colorado. My
daughter and I had been out looking at the ISS pass that night just a
few minutes before the fireball but unfortunately we were stuffing
ourselves with turkey when the fireball happened. :-(

Chris is a member of our local astronomy club and works with the Denver
Museum. He helped set up an all sky camera network at schools around
the state. Here's the link to the information. He feels sure that
material did reach the ground but it's a large rugged area and will be
difficult to search, especially once we have more snow.
