Dear List,
During data processing I noticed a strange event on 06/Feb/2011.
The event lasted about 6 seconds, during this period the body fragmented to 2 parts, later 4 parts are clearly visible.
I thought it is a space debris but experts vote for a
disintegrating fireball. The space debris group at aero.org
also does not confirm (event is too fast and there is no potential
candidate reentry object). Unfortunately other cameras in the region seen only clouds.
The event triggered my MetRec software 5 times due to its
brightness changes, so the video has some little bumps.
