You might be able to check with the info collected with one of the sentinal
cameras in your area. http://aquarid.physics.uwo.ca/all_sky.htm There's a sentinal camera located not far from you, (on the roof of McMaster university), and there's a good chance it recorded the fireball if it was bright enough.

I just checked for you...

Not at that time, but I saw a different fireball at 11:27 pm EST (+/- 2 min). When I noticed it, it was just to the north of Gemini and travelled east for about 20 degrees before fading. My location is just northeast of Indianapolis, IN (app. 39.94 deg lat. and -86.06 deg long.) Nick -- Nick Theodorakis contact form: http://theodorakis.net/contact.html |

We saw an orange fireball about that same time and description. Okay, I am a
bit ticked because it was actually my husband, Cary, that saw it. One of Cary's ATM students just finished his scope last night and we were taking it out for first light, looking at the moon. I had my eye to the eyepiece and was looking at the moon when I heard Cary exclaim and looked up too late. Dawn Baird-Chleborad www.astronerds.com "XxXxXxX" wrote in message ...
