Hi All, I believe it DOES show up on the DFW radar in one scan, as well as the Vance AFB radar in 3 separate scans. (Did not find it in the Oklahoma City or Altus AFB radars.) The location is in perfect agreement with the terminus as it appears in the Oklahoma City All-Sky camera. (Took me a while to correctly orient myself with that image; to save others some time, the brightest star in the scene is Sirius. Other bright stars visible include Betelgeuse, Rigel, Aldebaran and Capella.) Bolide flight direction was WNW to ESE, as triangulated from the Oklahoma City Sentinel camera, and Thomas Ashcraft's Albuquerque camera. (I'm still trying to make sense of the Hawley, TX, camera -- it doesn't appear to be oriented with north exactly at the bottom.)
