Chicago is 6 hours behind UTC until Daylight Savings Time
kicks in, then it's 5 hours. So, that places the time noted
below as 11:50:26 PM on March 26th, which matches my
observation of the bolide.

It is written,
"IR sensors aboard US DOD satellites detected the impact of
a bolide over
Park Forest, Illinois, on 27 March 2003 at 05:50:26 UTC. The
object
traveled from the SW to the NE on a heading of 22.3 degrees,
with a
flight path angle of 62.3 degrees from the local
horizontal."

Ok, Now we know the exact time of the PF fall. Can anyone
convert this to
PF's local time?

Thanks, Tom
