Hello list, I am still unsure of what qualifies a meteor to be a fireball. I
saw a good one tonight. It was about 3 times as bright as Jupiter, yellowish
in color but the strange thing was it did not really leave a trail, maybe a
short one right behind it but it was so short you could not notice it. Why
is that?

Thanks, Tom
