(meteorobs) POSSIBLE FIRE BALL SIGHTED... REQUEST CORRELATING INFO ASAP
Greetings all...
I am on watch at Rescue Coordination Center Norfolk and have just received a
report of a "possible flare." We have multiple reporting sources from
Wilmington (North Carolina, USA) south to Charleston (South Carolina,
USA)... object was bright (no, I don't know how bright) and orange in
color... seen for approximately 2 seconds... seen to "fall" only... all
reporting sources sighted object at approximately 0145 UTC 7 August 1999...
the furthest north reporting source was at approx position 33-52N 078-29W
and saw the object in a southerly direction... if any "trained" observers
witnessed this object and can id it as a meteor or fire ball, please let me
know as soon as possible...
Thanks for your help.
Regards.
