(meteorobs) Late TIME report on a No. Calif. May 10th fireball.

[GeoZay at aol.com]

I'm having a little trouble converting my brain from Alt/Az coordinates to  
Equitorial, but has this been checked to see if its a member of the Eta 
Aquarid  meteor shower? It has the right day and time to be one.
