(meteorobs) Significant fireball over New Mexico - Sep 21, 2010 2101 MDT

  September 21, 2010  2101:27 MDT     (This translates to  September 22, 
2010  -   0301:27 UTC)


There was a 23 second long fireball over New Mexico Tuesday evening at 
2101:27 MDT.   I did not see it but I did capture it on the all-sky 
camera.  I did also hear its sonic boom from inside my home above the 
household fan noise and general din.

Forward scatter:  Interestingly, large slow fireballs often do not make 
strong radio scatter reflections. This fireball can be heard at its 
onset and throughout its path but you will have to listen closely as it 
is subtle, but clearly evident.

I am sure that this fireball was witnessed by many people and hopefully 
other movies or still photos will show up.

Clear skies,
