Unlike bolides of late, reentries have been showing up great on radar, and this one was no exception. I don't know if the CZ-4B rocket body is large enough to generate debris that survives to the ground, but if so there are two long clusters of candidates in western Montana. I'll be forwarding my composite image to Spaceweather.com in case they want to post it there. --Rob -----Original Message----- From: Meteorite-list [mailto:meteorite-list-bounces at meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2015 11:34 AM To: Meteorite Mailing List Subject: [meteorite-list] Chinese Rocket Body Disintegrates over North America In case they are any fireball sightings.... Space Weather News for Feb. 24, 2015 http://spaceweather.com Last night, Feb. 23-24, observers across the western half of North America witnessed a spectacular cluster of bright lights in the sky. It was the re-entry and disintegration of a Chinese rocket body. Coincidentally, a geomagnetic storm was in progress at the time and more than one photographer caught the rocket's debris cutting across curtains of Northern Lights.
