It's great to have an experienced observer witness a fireball! If this was more like 60 degrees off the horizon then it fits perfectly with being a leonid. But maybe it wasn't. It would be appreciated if you would fill out an observation report at: http://www.namnmeteors.org/fireball/report.html And any other seesat people who see a fireball who live in north america, please use this as well. For people in the rest of the world, go to http://www.imo.net but their DNS entry doesn't work right now (went down last year this time also!). - George Roberts mailto: gr@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~gr ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles R.
