Hello Martin and all,

The Teton fireball has always interested me. I think it proves an
interesting phenomena that there are fusion crusted meteoroids sailing
around space somewhere. The problem is how to harvest them :-)

Cheers,
Frank

The 1972 (Teton) Fireball flew over my head when I was a young kid fishing
in Montana. I still remember the event vividly.

this website which mentioned that the fireball's closest point to earth was
over Montana (and thus me).
