While it was a very nice meteor, it is one of many see everyday on this planet. We are in a relatively unpopulated part of California. However, if heard of anybody knowledgable north of me who saw this, perhap a triangulation would be possible. Anyhow I hope Jim spend his time enjoying the mountains. With all the rocks up there his changes of finding this or any find would be a miracle. Following up on the subject of an educated public, only my recent enlightement as a meteorite collector would have me notice the direction and the break up of this bolide.

Of course, the quality of the info is crucial. Anyway, I sure join Howard in wishing Jim Stroupe a great meteorite find during his trip! Yes, keep your eyes peeled. By the way, please allow me a minor correction: If that fireball was seen on a FRIDAY Sept/2002 - it could only have been seen on the 6th, 13th, 20th or 27th - 17th was a Tuesday. Have a safe trip Jim.

Hi Jim Stroupe, Don't know if you left yet but I thought I'd spook your trip by telling you about an "unreported" but well witness bolide see in the Sierras a year ago, Sept 17th? 2002 about 9:00. I was at the Milpond festival night near Bishop friday night when a beautiful boilde heading aproximately NNE was seen by about a thousand people.Lot's of green in the fireball. I saw it break up into a least four major pieces. Unfortunately all witnesses were in the same location, but my guess was that this fell somewhere between Thousand Island Lake and the Hoover wilderness. Keep you eye on the trail.
