(meteorobs) Fireball over New Mexico Nov 17 2015 (Nov 18 2015 UTC) - video/radio

[Jean-L. RAULT]

Hi Thomas

Have a look at the LWA paper on http://arxiv.org/pdf/1510.04147v1.pdf It 
looks like it was direct RF radiation (not bouncing) from fireballs.
However, a flux density of about 700 Jy around 40MHz represents a real 
challenge for an amateur set-up
