(meteorobs) Brief North Central California Bolide. -Addendum III

[stange]

Speculation on this unusual event.... The extremely steep & sharp light 
curve suggests this Fireball did not burn up. It may have just blown litself 
apart which would account for the one or two(?) visible light particles 
afterward. My apology for the extended posting on this as after thoughts 
occur to me. :-)
