(meteorobs) Very large fireball New Mexico Dec 05 2013 0410:07 UT

[Matson, Robert D.]

Nice capture, Thomas.  Terminus was somewhere east of Las Vegas, NM, but
definitely within New Mexico. Flight direction was northwest to
southeast,
starting over southern central Colorado.  A check of the NMSU site did
not show any of the many other Sandia cameras in New Mexico recording
it.
Are they all off-line??  --Rob

Update:

Here is the all-sky capture with radio scatter.  Luckily clouds were
thin enough at the time to get nine seconds of visibility. But I did not
get the terminal point of flight.

Radio-wise, as is often the case, the largest fireballs can make the
least intense forward scatter reflections.

It looks like there are accumulating reports of this fireball at the AMS
site:
