Hello list,

This evening driving home from work I spotted a meteor that appeared to =
fall vertically a bit east of Plainfield Illinois.

It wasnt a big fireball ..... more of a thin line, but died out approx =
20 Degrees from the surface of the earth.

I wondered if there was any way to determine the mass of such a =
fireball.

Would appreciate your opinions

Bob Evans
