Dear friends,
On the morning of 2013 October 12, at approximately 10:30 UT I
observed a brilliant fireball as follows:
Magnitude estimate: minus 9
Very long, moderate and graceful movement from SW to SE. After major
flash, the remnant gradually continued southeastward for a few
seconds before fading away.
Because the Eta Cetid shower is already known for producing bright
fireballs, including a Magnitude -20 one on 1969 9 October, I suspect
that what I saw is a member of this stream.
Sincerely
David H. Levy
