The British Columbia fireball was reported on July 14, at 17hr 43m
UT over the Cariboo area of B.C. People in or near Prince George reported a
strong sonic boom two or three minutes after the passage of the fireball.
Unfortunately, the fireball cameras on Vancouver Island were clouded out.
Reports on this fireball are being collected by Dr. David Dodge of the
Pacific-Space Centre in Vancouver. Reports can be sent to
