(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,
