(meteorobs) RE:Super-Meteor' Lights up Finland's Northern Sky

[Esko Lyytinen]

Hi,

I have this same experience about  "missing radio signature" from most 
slow fireballs.
Earlier the biggest expected meteorite dropper (nothing found, possibly 
went to water) from recent years "Savonlinna" from the year 2002 was an 
exception and gave an overdense reflection of close to one minute.
Now this also gave a reflection of maybe about ten seconds, but I did 
not have much time to this because of very much other things to do with 
this. I will send to you directly some radio data from this in a few days.
