Re: (meteorobs) november 5 fireball
i reported a similar sighting nov 5 and am very inexperienced. however,
because i was in downtown raleigh nc, i know excactly where i was, i have a
30 story building i can use as a reference, and even remember the general
angle of my chin and turn of my head as i was following the phenomenon
across the sky. is there some quick and easy reference that i could consult
that would tell me how to translate these things into relevant numbers? is
there the same reference that will tell me exactly which relevant numbers
are needed and what they mean? i would really like to document this as
fully as possible, but i don't know how. for god's sake, i'm a biologist,
not an astronomer!
