Pacific NW Fireball 27 July 2004
MIAC has reported a West Coast Fireball on 27 July 2004 at 07:29:30 U.T. observed from North Vancouver B.C. I have checked the Sandia All-sky Camera tape at EMO Courtenay B.C. and a bright fireball was recorded at 00:29:21 Pacific Daylight Time in my NW sector. If you have observed this fireball please report the details and fill out a fireball report form. Thank you. Ed Majden EMO Sandia Bolide Detection Station Courtenay, B.C. CANADA |

Pilchuck which is about 13 miles from Granite Falls, Washington and perhaps slightly more than 100 miles south of North Vancouver B.C. and saw nothing dramatic. A few stray meteors and a satellite or two. That's it. -- Martin |

If you have observed this fireball please report the details and fill out a fireball report form. Thank you. Any idea of a possible radiant? We are currently in the midst of the Southern Delta Aquarid shower, and activity is very high. My allsky camera captured 16 SDAs over six hours the night before last- with a bright Moon and some cloud cover. SDAs aren't typically noted for producing spectacular fireballs, but this shower can't be ignored, especially when it is so active this year. I recorded two magnitude -3 SDAs within 5 minutes of the time of your fireball. I've posted the data from my camera at http://www.cloudbait.com/science/sdaqu2004.html _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com |
