(meteorobs) Re:Low Slow Meteor



Dave, I did not see anything like described to my south (looking toward 
Oceanside) about midnight (last night?).  I did see a     -4, white, 
fireball, 12-28/29-99, 7 h 32 m UT (11:32 PM PST) toward my southeast.  I was 
hoping someone in Southern California had seen it also to check my "Apparent 
Path":  Begin: RA = 8.5h, DEC = 0 degrees (Azimuth = 130 degrees, Elevation = 
45 degrees.  End:  RA = 9h, DEC = -5 degrees (Azimuth = 130 degrees, 
Elevation = 35 degrees.

Dave, you are so close to US Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and are aware 
of their activities, but you should know what RJ and I saw a few Sundays ago 
during the middle of the day.  Due south from our location about 70 degrees 
Elevation, we saw a high altitude Jet, then all of a sudden it shot out a 
missile!  If my reckoning is correct, that missile trajectory would have 
impacted at least in East Imperial County and maybe even Arizona.  The war 
games seem to be a lot different than I remember from living in San Diego 
County and perhaps you saw another new/odd but interesting part of some war 
game.

Clear skies,
