(meteorobs) Lower Midwestern USA Fireball June 5, 2012

[Matson, Robert D.]

Hi Robert,

Triangulation of the two videos of this fireball put the fall in western
Oklahoma, a little WNW of Clinton, OK. I checked the four closest
Doppler
radar sites, but did not find an obvious match.  There were a couple
high-altitude radar hits that might be a match, but they appeared on
only one radar so can't confirm that they're real.  --Rob
