(meteorobs) [meteorite-list] Breaking News - Major TX, OK, AR, MO, KS, CO, NE Green Fireball Meteor ~9:21CDT 23MAR2011

[Chris Peterson]

>From what I've seen, this was not a major fireball. It appears to be high 
and bright, with a short ground path. Its light curve doesn't look much like 
a major fragmenter, either. If some multiple station analysis shows up, I 
could change my opinion. But based on the single station evidence, this does 
not strike me as a likely candidate to produce meteorites.
