October 9, 2009

There was a super-sized meteor over New Mexico last night at 0804 UT, ( 
2:04 am MDT). I have posted my preliminary video and radio observations. 
Interestingly, the forward scatter radio reception was only moderate and 
of short duration compared to its size and ionization trail.  And I was 
also observing at VLF/ELF frequencies and there may be some direct 
emission evident but it is still being analyzed.  I posted three movies 
in .mp4 format at the link below.
