I'm surprised I have had no response to this message. Is it a lack of
interest in meteoritics (fireballs) or doesn't anyone in B.C. or the Pacific
North West read this newsgroup?

sci.astro.amateur would be a better place if you want serious
astronomers to read it.

John:
I have cross posted to meteorobs, bolidechasers, and the Rascals list
with similar results. Only one volunteer so far, from S.D. I have some
others from Vancouver Island but these were already part of the network.

I think your call is a bit scanty and vague. It seems that you
need people to follow yp after fireball reports to speak with the
witnesses and collect more details. If this is correct, you'll lokely
find few takers. Even in a built-up area, it is extremely tough and
tedious to go around and visit folk; ask any police depot about its
experience for crime followup.
Now, after two years since World Trade Center, people are far more
hesitant to talk to strangers about personal experiences, even a
sighting of a fireball. Even if ther is no specific 'homeland
security' mindset in Canada.

If what you say is true, it is sad that in the most powerful nation in
the world its residence live in fear. If this is correct the terrorists
have won. Sad indeed!

The terrorists have had an effect. But not the effect they intended.
Non-Muslims are still mucking around in the Middle East. And every attack
makes such interference even more likely.
