The video is here: https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/19245256.watch-fireball-spotted-bournemouth/ Going from the streetname mentioned in the article and the distinctive carpark and fence, as well as opposite house visible, I geolocated the position of the camera to 50.7516 N, 1.8883 W. This allowed the view direction to be established. The direction of view is due south to slightly southeast. There is no TIP for any reentry on this date/time. Looking at the video, I am not convinced it is a reentry. Rather, I suspect a slow grazing fireball. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org launchtower: http://launchtower.langbroek.org Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Tue Apr 20 2021 - 09:44:58 UTC
