RE: (meteorobs) METEORS VS FIREBALLS/BOLIDES



Jure,
I'm not sure we are so lucky! The definition of a bolide is rather fuzzy, 
sort of overlapping that of fireball, and it leads to more confusion than 
anything else. Newspapers and other media like it because it's a "high 
tech" sounding word that they use when attracting headlines :-)

You guys are so lucky :) In english you have separete words for a fireball 
and a bolide.
In slovene however, we only have the word 'bolid' which describes anything 
brighter than -3 mag
no matter if it explodes or not.
