The sky lit up and then got even brighter, and a few seconds later I saw the fireball about 1 second before it burned out. I was about 25 or 30 miles away from Park Forest at the time. I have my observation, with a map and a sketch of what I saw, on my webpage: http://dave-j.freeservers.com/ParkForest/parkforest_meteor.html joseph_town at att.net wrote: Nice presentation Mark, I'd just like to add that with a peak visual magnitude of -22 everyone within, I'm guessing, 20 or 30 miles? only witnessed the effect of night literally turning to day. Does anyone have an idea just how far away from ground zero you'd have to have been to see the meteor itself? Thanks, Bill Received on Mon 04 Apr 2005 11:32:50 AM PDT |
