(meteorobs) Swift Sees 5th Magn. GRB!

[Thomas Ashcraft]

Hi George,

For what it's worth I can contribute a negative observation. Maybe it 
will still has value to the GRB team?

My Sentinel visual camera system was in operation but is not sensitive 
enough to capture +5 mag events. Nothing seen.
My radio system was also in operation but my radiospectrograph saw 
nothing special during that particular minute, just small space dust 
paricles.
I posted the radio chart, which is down the page below the meteor movies.

Please forward the page reference if it has any use.
