Re: (meteorobs) [Fwd: Re: Sept 1966 Fireball]
Thanks Andrei,
If only all my books and magazines were in my database....
Von Del Chamberlin best sums up this event in Meteorites of Michigan. Bulletin No.5 of the Geological Survey of Michigan (1968), page 6.
"Confused reports of falling objects and fires followed. Because the author was alerted within minutes after the event he was able to locate the train remaining in the sky. With a reliable bearing on the end-point, the region of greatest interest in the United States was quickly determined to be along the Michigan shore of Lake Huron. Some observers in this area were then interviewed. Results indicated a southeast to northwest trajectory ending, unfortunately, over Lake Huron about 50 miles east and slightly north of the tip of the thumb of Michigan."
