(meteorobs) volunteers wanted
The following announcement was communicated by Z. Ceplecha from
Ondrejov Observatory, Czech Republic:
===================================================================
Volunteers wanted
-----------------
A consortium with particular interest in very large bolide events
wishes to establish contacts world-wide with persons having similar
interests. Aim is to create a network for timely reporting and
dissemination of information of such events. Volunteers should be
well-connected to event-reporting sources within their country,
and preferably should be capable of travelling quickly to any
event locale to gather eyewitness statements and other data.
The consortium plans to equip each selected volunteer with the
necessary tools, procedures and training to permit rapid and
accurate data gathering. Participants will be quickly notified
of probable large bolide events detected by satellite sensors,
seismic arrays, or other remote technique. In return, volunteers
would be expected to provide similar rapid notification to the
network filter center.
Persons interested in participating in this endeavor may contact
