Okay, that explains it. There was no correlation between Soest and the
All-Sky Camera location. That being the case, you really should change
the caption on the All-Sky camera photo which reads:

"Soest, Germany Allsky Capture 16OCT2011 (c) Olaf Gabel"

One bad caption can waste two hours of someone else's life. ;-) --Rob

Soest, Germany Fireball Meteor 2300 hrs 16OCT2011
a fireball the size of a grapefruit , melon flew past our car
approximately 300 meters away and an approx hight of 10 meters it was
very fast and very very bright. We didnt see it hit the ground because
some trees got in the way. Soest NRW Germany, Niederbergheimer strasse
at approx 11 O`clock. -Hanna R. Thank you Hanna!

She was the first witness. The Germans had not realized that they had
captured it and later the Dutch also at first thought that they had
missed it as well. The naming of an event on my site is based upon the
first reporter`s location. Best Regards, Dirk...Tokyo
