Fireball at 00:55
Did anyone else see the fireball at 00:55 tonight. I was just going out to
move my dome when this fireball headed down through Gemini. It was so bright that it left a trail which lasted a few seconds. Its been a long time since I have seen one that bright. Lilian |

I caught it as a strong radio reflection, which made a very dramatic image. You can see it on my website. What's your location Lilian? http://tinyurl.com/2wdh6 (meteor gallery) http://tinyurl.com/w6pv (Index page) Andy. G7IZU Radio Reflection Detection Page http://tinyurl.com/w6pv -- Andy Smith |

G7IZU Radio Reflection Detection Page http://tinyurl.com/w6pv Recorded it up here in Macclesfield too: HROFFT image: http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~chrish/sm0403170050.jpg High res FFT: http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~chrish/capt5423iw.jpg Didn't record much of a doppler shift, fairly flat (it was probably nearer to you than me). It did last close to 4 minutes though. If you're *really* interested, you can listen to it too! http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~chrish/capt5423iw.mp3 (but it is a 2.7Mb file) ChrisH UK Astro Ads: http://www.UKAstroAds.co.uk |

Regards, Sort of a warbling sine wave, a simple tone (which is the carrier wave that is being reflected). There was no doppler shift so no frequency changes - which sound a bit like a ricochet.
