(meteorobs) Fireball observed in Croatia




Greetings to everyone!

Couple of days ago some friends of mine told me that they saw a strange
object on the sky. From their description i concluded that it has to be a
large fireball. I didn't send a report to FIDAC, because i'm not sure in
their informations. Here are the data:

Date: 23.07.2002.
Time: 21- 21.30 UT
Location: Varazdin, Croatia
Longitude: 16.3 deg E
Latitude: 46.3 deg N

Apparent path: Aproximate equatorial coordinates:

	Begin: RA 10 h
	       DEC 30 deg
	End:   RA 13 h
	       DEC 40 deg

aproximate apparent magnitude: -12

duration: 6-7 sec
color: white
trail: white
fragmentation: yes
angular velocity: very fast
sounds: yes

Observers: Dubravko Vrdoljak, Ivan Trupkovic


I wonder was this fireball observed in other countries?
