(meteorobs) On the Sept 21 British Earth grazer fireball

[Jay Salsburg]

Interesting facts outlined in the News Report linked below...

1. The First reported sighting in New Mexico declared the Meteor "
brightened, then dimmed-as would be expected if it were just skipping
briefly thru the atmosphere."
2, "The meteor's latitude over Calif was the same as it was over NM"
3. "the longitudinal distance between the two sightings was 25 deg, the
amount Earth turns on its axis in 100 min."

Esko - Very interesting article that you presented; besides the 1972 Teton
fireball there is another modern day fireball that is thought to have
skipped and reentered on its next revolution in Oct 3rd, 1996.
See http://www.meteorobs.org/maillist/msg02007.html
for more info  search on:
1)Kate Hutton, a seismologist at CIT; 2)John Wasson, a meteorite specialist
at UCLA; and, 3) Mark Boslough, a Physicist at Sandia Labs.
