(meteorobs) Lyrid fireball?
Someone in Austin, Texas, saw a very bright fireball at
about 5:15 on April 16 UTC:
"I saw the most fantastic meteor! The meteor was at least
as big as my fist and brilliant orange. It streaked across
the sky like a giant bottle rocket for about three seconds
from east to west in the northern sky."
The Lyrid radiant was up, low in the east. Are the early
Lyrids known for fireballs such as that?
