(meteorobs) Meteorobs - skipping meteors

[Thomas Dorman]

Bob and all
I stood almost directly under the Oct.3 1996 bolide
event  and saw it start as a moving faint point of
light then become blazing  ball off fire until it
broke up and passed below obstruction on my
horizon.When Sandia had more of a public open website
than they have today I saw a posting stating that this
meteor had been recovered and was a piece of the
asteroid Hebe.The California event was thought to be
another event that took place that same evening and
were thought to be related.Also this meteor was
recorded by a high school football camera man for
channel 9 KTSM,NBC El Paso Texas.I have seen this
video and at the time one of my friends work for this
station.
I have not been to the Sandia website for some time
you may still be able to find this information.Maybe!
Regards
Thomas Dorman
Horizon City,Texas
