(meteorobs) Meteor Observations from Northern Nevada on February 20, 2007

[Robin Gray]

We had a clear morning on February 20, so I took
advantage of this and went out to observe meteors. I
saw two faint Delta Leonids and 8 Sporadics, three of
which were bright. The highlight was a -5 mag fireball
with a long glowing train, which I estimated as more
than thirty degrees in length. Clouds have settled
back over the skies now. The following is a record of
what I saw.

February 20, 2007 Paradise Hill, Nevada, 20 miles
north of Winnemucca. Longitude 117 degrees, 37', 30"
West; Latitude 41 degrees 15' 0" North.
