Howdy all

        I've got limited internet access at the moment, but could someone have a look at the town of Opheim, MT as the possible location of the Montana/Saskatchewan fireball reported for 07 Apr 2011, ~0920 UTC? Specifically, a location southeast of that town but not over the county line.

            This fireball was reported on AMS as event 381a and 382b.

          Approximate coords: 48.746170 N, -106.190109 W

        I see a potential meteorite signature in data from the KGGW radar near that location, with radar returns from near ground level up to ~84,000' altitude. Rob Matson and others, could you check me on that?

Cheers,
Marc Fries
