(meteorobs) On the Sept 21 British Earth grazer fireball

[Thomas Dorman]

I observed the Oct.3,1996 bolide over far west Texas.Video was shot of this bolide by a KVIA Channel 7,El Paso, sport crew covering a football game at Bowie high school stadium.

There was once a website that said this meteor had been recovered and was a piece of the asteroid Hebe but the site is no longer on line that I can fined.
The late Jime Gamble and myself always thought there was a active shower that was producing these fireballs from around the first of October through the mid October but was unable to pin this shower down. In addition on October 9,1997 over El Paso Texas there was a daylight event.I believe there is strong evidence to support this unknown shower that produce large fireball in the first half of October.
Regards
Thomas

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.
