(meteorobs) September 21, 2012 Fireball: CALL FOR OBSERVATION RECORD

[Jeremie Vaubaillon]

Hi everyone,

We have some reasons to think that this object is potentially VERY 
interesting: maybe a temporary captured object by the Earth.
The reasons are:
-no satellite reentry planed this day. If artificial, this object was 
classified
-very long path: only very large satellite would do: I think even the 
ATV reentry in 2008 did not last for this long (in space). The only 
object I can think of was the Columbia shuttle accident.
-temporary captured object are theoretically and practically real (see 
Granvik et al 2012 study on this topic).
So, this might be a natural object. If proven, it would be a fantastic 
news and the first atmospheric entry of a natural temporary Earth satellite!

SO, my question is the following: does anybody have a record (image or 
better video) of this object? You might reply off list if you wish.

Thx for any reply ;-)

Jeremie
