Re: (meteorobs) Chicago meteorite shower: how about the fireball?
Marco and All,
I had a conversation with Peter Jenniskens last Friday about this event and
he indicated that Peter Brown was involved in some preliminary studies.
Hopefully he can come up with enough information to determine a radiant and
other useful information.
Clear Skies!
