(meteorobs) Large slow fireball Aug 07 2013 New Mexico

[Bill Cooke]

Thomas,

Our two cameras in southern New Mexico also captured this event at extreme range… Details are:

Start location: 109.167 +/- 0.04 W, 34.096 +/- 0.06 N at an altitude of 105.4 +/- 4.9 km
End location: 108.396 +/- 0.004 W, 34.932 +/- 0.005 N at an altitude of 42.8 +/- 0.4 km
Speed: 27.9 +/- 2.4 km/s
Radiant: RA 309.9 +/- 2.9 deg, Dec -18.3 +/- 2.3 deg

Radiant and speed are rough matches to the alpha Capricornids (CAP).
