(meteorobs) FW: Las Vegas Bolide, 6/19/2004 ~5AM PDT

[Robert Verish]

Desparately seeking eye-witnesses who may have
observed the fireball that produced the "sonic-boom
and vapor cloud" that was reported on KVBC Ch3 News.

The "trail is getting cold" on this one, and we need
more eye-witnesses in order to triangulate where this
event actually occurred.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Bob V.

and ask members about the 6/19 LV Bolide!


Did anyone on the List from the Las Vegas area see or
hear this fireball? 

Actively seeking to interview eye-witnesses, or
anybody that heard the sonic-boom from this bolide
that was seen to fall NNE from Las Vegas, Nevada.

With best regards, 
Bob V.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Explosion over Las Vegas and
the Sunrise Moutain Area 

Local news (Channel 3) reported an explosion over the
Sunrise Mountain area East of the City. Several people
heard a large explosion and witnessed a vapor cloud
according to Channel 3. There were no other 
clouds in the vicinity at the time of the explosion.
Several people called in to see what it was. The news
reported that it was possibly a meteorite. I phoned
the news station to see if they had any witnesses 
names or numbers but none were available. 
They are going to rebroadcast the story on the 6PM
news and ask for witnesses to call in. I will keep you
updated.
