(meteorobs) Post, TX radar hits unrelated to meteor

[Matson, Robert D.]

Hi All,

 

Nix the Post, TX, radar returns - three radars are picking up something,
but it

has to be unrelated to the meteor. The OKC camera clearly shows it
terminating

in a direction SSE of Oklahoma City, so Post, TX is way too far to the
west. I'll

revisit the Doppler radar when I get home tonight, concentrating more on
the

area south of DFW.  --Rob

I didn't realize the optical returns lasted so long! This may actually

be a satellite reentry instead of a bolide, given the duration and

the west-to-east trajectory.  --Rob
