(meteorobs) Significant fireball April 26, 2009, 0604 UT - New Mexico

[stange]

Must be something in the water over there. New Mexico still has the largest 
fireball I have ever seen captured by camera (by you and Sandia1) on Sept. 
13th, 2007.

Another of those would do well for you now that you are ready for it with 
instrumentation!

Same way here too.....waiting.  -YCSentinel
