Hi, Howard. Your email reached the 'meteorobs' mailing list of amateur
meteor observers. Please do report your observation of the fireball! The
International Meteor Organization (or just IMO to their friends) provides a
Web-based report form available on their Web site, at:
	http://www.imodot net/fireball/report.html

If you explore the www.imodot net site, you can also find reports of other
fireballs which they've received through this form. Clear skies!
