Re: (meteorobs) Fantastic Fireball -- 7PM Indiana Time -- Nov. 16 th
After arriving home from an all-night session I am still wading through my
email but so far have about 8 NAMN fireball reports on this one event. I
agree with Wayne...I would suspect that this NASA site is only an
information site, much like our mailing list is being used right now. All of
our observers are out, or sleeping, so there are few people left to confirm
the reports. Believe it or not, but I am already getting requests for what
the storm rate was in Europe! The media will hype this event as the
beginning of the "Leonid storm" despite all our efforts. My guess is that
whoever is updating that NASA site is just passing on what they hear.
Just my $0.02,

And no matter what it is IMPOSSIBLE to see a Leonid in the US at that hour.
It would have to burrow it's way through the earth and come up from the
ground. You would think someone at NASA would check a fact or two, but
probably most meteor people are in the field, so it's a writers free for
all. Very embarassing.
