(meteorobs) Request for Info on Sacramento Fireball of 04:47 AM PDT May 12th

[Wayne Watson]

Well, I bagged another one with my Sandia Fireball equipment. It occurred close to 
4:47 a.m. (12:47 UT) today, May 12th. That's about an hour before sunrise. If anyone 
saw it, I'd be interested. I may post the movie later. It was almost overhead and may 
have been coming steeply downward at my location (Nevada City, 60 miles NE of 
Sacramento). It had a short track, and moved from a small size to a very large size 
quickly before disappearing.

             Your mother was right. Wear your hat and sunglasses in the summer sun.
