Hi All,

 

Meteorite Central has been acting up all week with posts showing up in
batches

of 20 or more at a time, often delayed by days and/or repeated. At the
risk of

sending another message into the internet wormhole, here is a resend of
my

now somewhat dated post from last night:

Hi All,

 

Was out getting the mail and was treated to a nice fireball

descending and moving right-to-left, starting in Cassiopeia in

the northwest. The particulars in case someone else in the

southern California area saw it:

 

Date: 3/1/2007

Time: 8:25 pm PST

Location: Irvine, CA (33.631N, 117.817W)

Starting azimuth: 320 +/- 5

Starting elevation: 22 +/- 2 deg

Ending azimuth: 295 +/- 5

Ending elevation: 12 deg +/- 1 deg

Duration: 3-4 seconds

Speed: on the slow side

Brightness: -7 to -8

Color: orange

Comments: no fragmentation, but a "thick" meteor track

about a quarter-degree wide in the cross-track direction.

 

No sonic booms heard any time in the following 4 minutes.

I'm about 90% sure I heard electrophonic hissing coincident

with the visible display. I can't be 100% sure, but it may

have been the hissing that prompted me to turn and see the

meteor. I was standing near a tree, a metal light poll, and

the somewhat large metal box containing all the mailboxes

for my end of the street.

 

--Rob
