(meteorobs) Bunch of fireballs

[Thomas Ashcraft]

  Hi Rainer,

I'm not sure if this particular fireball is connected but here is a 
fireball captured at September 16, 2010, at 0251 UTC which I think would 
put it six hours after the German observation.  ?  I overlaid an all-sky 
map of the moment from Heavens-Above onto the still and movie image 
capture.  Note Lyra and Cygnus in the center of the field of view.    It 
may be possibly connected. Not sure.  ??  Any analysis is welcome.

(Note also this movie capture has forward scatter audio in stereo with a 
nice and complex head echo.)

If you have more information or get more reports could you please pass 
them along to the list. Thank you.

Clear skies,
Thomas
