(meteorobs) Possible IMPACTOR SSE of Yuba City.

[stange34 at sbcglobal.net]

Yes Arlene, "Bingo"!

I am in Northern California about 35 miles North of Sacramento. You can see 
my location on a map as the front door to my website at:
http://geocities.com/stange34@sbcglobal.net/index

I will put up a good picture of it with azimuth & altitude scaling later 
today on my website. The Fireball was traveling VERY, VERY slow.... it took 
3.66 seconds just to get as far as ut us shown on the composite image. I 
have made a QuikTime .mov file of it coming down(?) before it went behind 
the trees on my horizon. I have no way to show the folks here, but I can 
send a copy to anyone that CAN put it up for viewing...... Both a copy of 
the composite (still) image and the .mov file have been sent to KCRA channel 
3 in Sacramento if they want to use it. The coincidence of the shimmering 
bursts of light EXACTLY at the possible impact azimuth point apprx. 1 minute 
later was to coincidental not to mention the impactor possibility. It is 
only a possibility without further corrobration.

I will record it in NAMN & AMS later too.
