June 19, 2009

There was a large fireball in the vicinity of northeast New Mexico and 
possibly northwest Texas and Oklahoma. It was possibly -15 magnitude or 
maybe larger. Further reports are welcome as this may be the only video 
of this event.  Also, this fireball produced faint radio scatter and I 
did not include sound in the movies in this case. I am having to 
recalibrate my radio observatory after the analog to digital tv switchover.

For preliminary purposes I posted some movies here:
