(2002 O4 - surprisingly bright already at m1=9.2!) At 10:23 pm I noticed a
bright flash from the south over Mauna Loa. Turning quickly, I saw the
ending of what appeared to be a -8 mag nearly-point fireball! It came from
the Ara/Norma border region just south of Scorpio's tail... No persistent
train was evident, probably due to the extremely short path.

Hi Mike,
Great observings. I congratulate you for this and for some more that you
wrote along your report.
The fact of this is: hereby I have been getting chances of seeing these
kinda fireballs in such a frequence that, I myself can not have due time to
report them.
Now that I'm at meteorobs, having more details of 'this and that', I will
try to post some of what I am used to see in the sky site of my (the sea
view), having on the most, the horizon up.
Does it happen with such a frequence with you too? I mean, with the horizon
up observation site?
