RE: (meteorobs) Lyrid fireball?



Of course if it was 0515 UTC (as it says when I reread it)(Sorry), it was about 18 degrees elevation in the ENE.

Subject: 	(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?
