Re: (meteorobs) Short Intro
Back in July I reported I also saw a fireball shooting west to east at
about 10:45 to 11pm. Now i was on the extreme eastern coast of N.
carolina's outer banks. Could i have seen the same fireball observed in
Arizona? Thanks, Bill F.
p.s. Figures, one of thee nights for the Perseid max and all I've got
in Pennsylvania is rain and clouds. :-(
