>>>David M Swain <David.M.Swain@telinco.codot uk> asked:
Oh, one other thing I read with interest the fireball reports in a recent
MeteorObs Digest and noticed that a lot of the reported fireballs were less
than -5 magnitude, I thought this was the minimum magnitude for reporting
to FIDAC. If this is not true can anyone enlighten me as to what is the
minimum magnitude, or what the criteria are? <<<

Hi David,

To be included in the FIDAC database, a meteor has to be -3.0 magnitude or
brighter....
