Kevin, I think it is unlikely that this event is related to the Quadrantids. The radiant was a mere 7 degrees above the northern horizon for Madrid and a day after the maximum activity of this sharp-peaked stream is low. The reports of sonic booms suggest a deep penetrating object and that is quite unlike the Quadrantids too. So either a decay, or a fireball from an asteroidal source. - Marco ------ Marco Langbroek Dutch Meteor Society Leiden, the Netherlands 52.15896 N, 4.48884 E (WGS 84) e-mail: meteorites@dmsweb.org website: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
