Hi Wayne,

Unfortunately that hour was 8 am MDT ( daylight)  here in New Mexico so 
there was no way to check on that particular asteroid. 

If anyone is interested in what typical morning meteor, fireball, and 
space dust infall looks like on radio spectrograms I posted my radio 
meteor charts for March 31, 2008, 1300 UT to 1500 UT. All dots and blips 
are meteor particles with a bunch of fireballs in the mix. Radio range 
covers about 1000 km or more in all directions. Maybe that particular 
asteroid was in the mix but there is no way to tell.
