(meteorobs) Morse Code or Dash-DOT!!-Dash Meteor (N. Calif.)

[Wayne Watson]

A fireball blazed over our Sacramento skies late last night, and was caught 
on my video camera. I would guess this one left the atmosphere. No reports 
of debris that I know of yet. See a composite and QT mov (movie) file of the 
event at <http://speckledwithstars.net/meteor_beginnings.html>. Scroll to 
the bottom.

I suppose it might be possible some debris fell over somewhere by Redding; 
however, presently this is just a guess. Perhaps visual observers saw it. It 
occurred around 11:07 PM (PDT). It appears to have glanced off the 
atmosphere and kept going after the burst (Dot). It was going NW from here 
in Nevada City, CA.
