The American Meteor Society just received an outstanding video of this fireball from John Walker of central Texas. This incredible
video displays both a persistent train (toward the beginning of the path) and a terminal burst at the end. This is one of the finest
fireball captures I have ever seen! I also believe those magnitude estimates on the AMS Fireball Table are conservative as this
object certainly seems to have exceeded the light of the full moon at its brightest point.
To view the video, visit the AMS website at: http://www.amsmeteors.org/2011/06/texas-oklahoma-fireball-june-20-2011/
Many thanks to John sharing this video with us!
