I captured a large fireball last night that has the radio signature of a
meteor that could have possibly made landfall. It did *not* make any
obvious radio reflection which is a characteristic of some of the
largest "stealth" fireballs. Here are movies, radio chart, and capture
image.

This particular fireball could have occurred in a wide area north of Las
Cruces, New Mexico. It is possible there will be other movie captures.
Hope so.
It was not an Eta Aquariid by the way.
