(meteorobs) Green meteor
Hi.All
The night of the Gila fireball 7/14/03 there was a
second green fireball over far west Texas.At 12:12am
mst,06:12UT 7/15/03 I observed a green fireball moving
from south to north at moderate speed.The fireball was
-4 or brighter.The bightness was not the most
impressive feature of this meteor. The debris coming
from the head of the fireball was very dense and
sparkling.Also the terminal burst was was bright and
had debris traveling down range from the burst.I
believe I would call this a WOW! event.My best guess
is that the event was about 30 degress in length.
I have one person I am talking to in El Paso who
observed a pale green meteor near my event time but
moving south.I have ask this person to fill out a
fireball report.The El Paso All Sky was off line at
the time of this meteor event.
I have a report from early this morning of another
green meteor.
Do not believe the activity seen over far west Texas
and the Gila in New Mexico is connected to
Capricornids.
I am waiting to hear from New Mexico State University
to see if they may have recorded this event.Hope this
is of interest.
Regards
Horzion City Texas
