[meteorite-list] Fw: Meteors Light Up Morning Sky in Colorado

Hi List, I fully agree with Marco Langbroek's comments. It was no meteor. The article written by Laura Bailey (Jan 4 2007) for THE COLORADOAN, mentions that onlookers reported that it could be seen for about 30 seconds. That is too short a time for space debris, unless if it was seen at a low a

Re: [meteorite-list] Fw: Meteors Light Up Morning Sky in Colorado

I'm confused by your post. What do you mean by 'space debris'? If the time was too short for space debris and it was also not a meteoroid then what are you suggesting? Befuddled Gary On 4 Jan 2007 at 23:21, Jose Campos wrote: > Hi List, > > I fully agree with Marco Langbroek's comments. It

>>The visibility of a meteor, even a -14 mag fireball, (that is as bright as the full moon), will not last longer than a few seconds, at most.<< This is correct for most meteors. However, some will last a bit longerup into the tens of seconds. The longest lasting one that I'm aware o
