(meteorobs) Fireball in Texas

[James Beauchamp]

Hi all.  
Although I did not catch it from Oklahoma City on the allsky, the meteor scatter radar captured a large event at exactly 12:42:30 UTC.  
Unverified if this is the event in question, but if it were large enough, it could have caught enough RF from off-axis sidelobes.
Shoot me an email if you would like the screenshot.

Pat and All,

The American Meteor Society has received over 70 reports of this object, occurring near 6:45am CST on Friday morning December 7th. Almost all of the reports have been from Texas. The object must have been extremely bright as many witnesses are comparing it to the sun in brightness. Most of the reports also indicate a green color was predominant. 

Individual reports, pictures, and a map can be accessed from the AMS web site at: http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball_event/2012/2085

Clear Skies!

Robert Lunsford
