(meteorobs) Artificial meteor experiment

[Jean-Louis.RAULT at fr.thalesgroup.com]

For your information, please note that another large artificial meteor was
observed over France on the 25 th of september.
A russian Proton M rocket launched at 08:49 UTC from Baïkonur re-entered the
atmosphere the same day over France and was seen by many visual observers
around 20:54 UTC.
At least three amateur automatic stations got nice radio echoes from the
Proton bits and pieces: Laurent near Rennes and Andy in UK on 143.050 MHz,
and myself on 49.739 MHz.
Spectral analysis of the radio echoes available on demand.
