(meteorobs) Huge fireball observed over France on January 252008

[Steve Farmer Jr]

Hi Dave,

The camera has the time stamp at 6:59:54 PM EST on this meteor.  We
use Dimension 4 to keep the computer clocks synchronized.  On both of
our cameras, the time stamp was exact.  I'm sure it was the same
meteor you observed.

Best Regards,


Steve E. Farmer Jr.
