Hi Laryy

I got an answer from Wayne Watson.

But, unfortunately, his camera has been down for over two weeks.
He will try to get some other data, but I haven't got any news since then.

I haven't got any answer from Dave Kenyon and the email to
Ernie Inverson bounced due to wrong address.

I made a preliminary analysis of your images and it looks very promising.
The interest in the early April fireballs, is the possible connection with 
the
Pribram and Neuschwanstein fireballs and meteorite falls.
Both occurred around April 6.

A preliminary analysis of yours photo points to a similar radiant as the
Pribram case.
If one can provide at least another photo we can compute the radiant.
It would be very useful if you can contact someone else in a radius of 500 
km
from Yuba City that might have seen the fireball.

I work in the Dept. Astronomy in Uruguay (South America).
We have studied a fireball in April 6, 2004 with a radiant close to Pribram
I wrote an abstract to the 69th MetSoc:

A NEW FIREBALL IN EARLY APRIL: A POSSIBLE ASSOCIATION WITH THE PRÍBRAM 
RADIANT

Any further information would be useful.

Gonzalo
