(meteorobs) Huge fireball observed over France on January 25 2008

[Steve Farmer Jr]

Hi Kim,

We have it on two cameras and I'll be glad to send you the video(s). 
It shows much better on the Station 1 camera at Deer Run Observatory
than mine due to a partial blockage in my field of view.  We've
recorded many bright ones over the past few months.
