[meteorite-list] BOLIDE EVENT IN VA

[Greg Redfern via Meteorite-list]

There are audio clips, GOES-16 EAST imagery, and one fireball report to AMS
to support a probable bolide event at approximately 1023 this morning in
the vicinity of Front Royal - Luray - Buckingham County Virginia. Cloudy
weather hampered additional sightings.

Awaiting response from FAA as to radar track data.

I am sure there are rocks on the surface/in the ocean somewhere.

There are reports of a large bright meteor at about midnight visible over 
Haleakala and the Big Island.  It triggered Nest cameras and people also 
reported hearing a roaring noise.  Gary, you on this?  Sadly, chances are good 
if there was any meteorite, it went into the ocean.

[meteorite-list] Bolide over southern Alberta/Saskatchewan early July 14, 2012

[Matson, Robert D.]

Hi All,

A bright meteor was recorded on an All-Sky camera in south Calgary
around 00:32:15 MDT on 14 July 2012. Location appears to be east of
the camera location, heading south. (Could be heading southeast,
south, or southwest -- would need a second camera view to triangulate.)
Currently 7 reports on the AMS website (event 965). Could have been
over south-eastern Alberta or south-western Saskatchewan. Doesn't
look like it made it to the Montana border.

A link to the video is here:

Re: [meteorite-list] Bolide over Germany

[Martin Altmann]

Yes Sir!

The bolide was caught by a fireball camera (btw. a private one run by a
meteorite collector, as it happens outside the recording time of the
European Fireball Network stations).

Now the private collectorship here is already calculating and collecting
eye- and earwitness reports
and determined already a preliminary possible dropping zone and organizes a
team for searching.

To publish the photos, data here ect. we have to leave it to the list
member, who caught the bolide and who made the calculations.

Grateful we are to live in a civilized meteorite country and not in
Australia, Argentina or South Africa,
where such efforts can't be undertaken at all and won't happen.
Naturally the chances to find the meteorite are low, but s much higher
than in these countries, where such droppers would remain unrecorded,
unnoticed and where nobody would try to hunt them down, because nobody is
allowed to do so, but a very few, who don't do it.

...and therefore I think, Stuttgart definitely deserves a new fall so much
more than Perth ;-)

Let's be thrilled!
Martin



(PS: Gary, it's strange, that Argentina and Poland introduced such laws,
that's atypical for mainly catholic countries. An exception to my newest
thesis, that the Bevanism could be an extreme form of Ussherism).

 Hiya,
 
 If the description of the object's transit through the
sky
 is  
 accurate, I would have to disagree.

I would too, but it's an embellishment to make his story
interesting.

 (As the resolution of the camera is weak, and focus
 limited, a bolide  
 could readily blur into a sun dog-like appearance.) 
 /d
 

Nope, if that were true the entire image would show the
distortions.
If you look at the images on the wiki page, or google sun
dogs and click on images you'll see many examples that look
exactly like this one.
It is an *extremely* common phenomena...

Almost no one looks up any longer, so even the most common
phenomena are unknown to just about everyone. I highly
recommend _The Nature of Light and Colour in the Open Air_

http://tinyurl.com/no2ej9

It's a great book. I've witnessed nearly everything
contained within its pages.

Re: [meteorite-list] Bolide? Doggone?

[Darryl Pitt]

Hi Richard,

I appreciate your thoughts and your analysis could very well be spot  
on---but low resolution and soft focus at infinity are not distortions  
of the sort to which you allude, and I think I'll hold fast to the  
notion of a bolide by camera-phone being able to evoke a sun dog.


I suppose in the end I just have a bit more faith in the report of a  
ball speeding across the sky.


and of course I agree that embellished eyewitness accounts can be  
problematic (along with my misplaced faith)


 ;-)Oh well.


And all best / Darryl

Re: [meteorite-list] Bolide? Doggone?

[Richard Kowalski]

OK Darryl,

fine with me.

The Distortion I speak of is the visible spectrum in the flare of the 
bolide or the body of the sundog. If it is a bolide, this would have to be 
distortion known as chromatic abberation (CA) and if the lens was that poor to 
show that much CA, it would be clearly visible in other parts of the image too. 

However in this case, it is restricted to the flare and the spectrum is 
correct for a Sun dog (red towards the Sun) and the tail matches a Perhelic arc

See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parhelic_circle

(When they are very strong, as in the images on that page, the arc can be seen 
completely encircling the sky at the same elevation of the Sun. When they are 
weak, they only form a short tail for the dog.

One more thing about the image itself, a bolide this bright in the daytime 
would leave an obvious smoke trail behind the ionization, one that wouldn't 
fade away as it does in this image. This photo matches a weak Parhelic arc but 
not a bolide plasma - smoke trail.

The last few things I'll say about this I'll say as a photographer instead of 
as an astronomer.

One of my photographic subjects are birds. I know how often I miss images 
because though I'm ready to make images with my camera which is on and ready to 
go, because I'm not fast enough and the camera isn't up to my eye. And 
sometimes, even when it is!

I have to question his ability of catching a bolide with a cell phone camera 
for a number of reasons. He needed to see the object, ID it as strange, grab 
his phone, turn on the camera and let it start, then point it and shoot. Of 
course he may have been taking other images with the camera on his phone, so 
his response would have been quicker, but that not what he claims in the 
article.

However, and probably the best evidence refuting his claim, there is no visible 
blur to the objects on the ground, so he probably had time to compose the shot. 
Unlikely in such a rapidly eveolving event as a daytime bolide.

Nearly every cell camera can shoot video too. If he had presence of mind to get 
a shot with his cell in the first place, why not get video of the event instead 
of a still?

Cheers

 Hi Richard,
 
 I appreciate your thoughts and your analysis could very
 well be spot on---but low resolution and soft focus at
 infinity are not distortions of the sort to which you
 allude, and I think I'll hold fast to the notion of a
 bolide by camera-phone being able to evoke a sun dog.
 
 I suppose in the end I just have a bit more faith in the
 report of a ball speeding across the sky.
 
 and of course I agree that embellished eyewitness
 accounts can be problematic (along with my misplaced faith)
 
  ;-)    Oh well.
 
 
 And all best / Darryl

Re: [meteorite-list] Bolide?

[Joe Kerchner]

The reason that I agree with richard on this one is because the guy who took it 
said it only laste a couple seconds. he then said he pulled the phone out of 
his pocket, he then would have had to activate the camera application, the aim, 
shhot and get a photo with the object almost in the center of the photo whil it 
is moving very very very fast, I just dont believe the story.

[meteorite-list] Bolide Bus is dead

[Galactic Stone Ironworks]

After spending over $4000 in the last 2 weeks on the Bolide Bus, we
are cutting our losses and selling the vehicle.  We were duped - the
vehicle is a lemon and a money pit.  It has defeated me, my wife and
the mechanics.  I will take the first $1000 offer for it - the 6 new
all terrain tires on it are worth more than that.

There will be no more updates or postings about the Bolide Bus - it's
dead in the water.

If anyone wants to frustrate themselves and buy this old piece of junk
- contact me offlist.

Hi Rob, Sterling and List,

I calculate the size to be at least 3 meters, possibly as much as 4.5

1) The St. Robert H5 chondrite had a preatmospheric radius between 40 and
ca. 60 cm and a mass of 1000 to ca. 3000 kg comparable to the Knyahinya
L chondrite.

2) The Torino H6 chondrite had a preatmospheric radius of 20 cm, corresponding 
to
a mass of 120 kg. A number of stones totalling about 1 kg in weight were 
recovered.

3) Peekskill had a preatmospheric radius of ~50 cm. 

4) For Jilin, Klein et al. obtained these lower and upper limits for the 
preatmospheric
size of the body: lower limit = 54 cm / upper limit = 135 cm. Heusser and 
Pellas
estimated that its pre-atmospheric radius was 85 cm.

[meteorite-list] Bolide over North Central MN

[Gary K. Foote]

On Nov 1st a friend in north central Minnesota reported the following to me.  
I'm asking her 
for more specific info.  

Anyone else see this?  Sounds to me like there may be pieces on the ground.

-

Thanx for the info re the colors; interesting!  This one was bright enough that 
it actually drew 
my attention by being so bright  just at the edge of my vision and lasted long 
enough that I 
could turn my head, look at it for perhaps 2 seconds or so before it finally 
seemed to explode.  
It was one piece; a bright blue that edged with neon green the farther it 
traveled until turning 
nearly entirely green just before it flashed.  The path was from the east to 
just south of due 
west.  No sound, no radio (I was outside, silly), I couldn't tell if it was 
above or below the haze 
but it was definately clear.  Oh yeah, it had a rather long tail while I 
watched it.  One of those 
wow things.

[meteorite-list] Bolide in Iraq?

[Spaceguard]

Is anyone aware of a bolide event that might have occurred at 2130 GMT on 8 
Aug 07 in the northern Iraq / southern Kurdistan region?




A fireball, trailing a corkscrew shaped smoke trail was observed for 3-4 
seconds travelling from South to North by the crew of a commercial aircraft.




It is most likely that the aircraft was under fire from a surface to air 
missile, but there are some aspects that don't jive!




Many thanks in advance.

Re: [meteorite-list] Bolide over Denver.

[Chris Peterson]

This wasn't on our cameras, because they had shut down for dawn just 
minutes before. But I've received a lot of witness reports because of 
all the Denver news coverage. This was a large, but not extraordinary 
fireball. All the attention here is just because it happened at commute 
hour and a lot of people saw it. There were at least five fireballs over 
Colorado last night, including a very impressive one at 03:37 that was 
caught on three cameras.

Most reports have been from along the Front Range, and generally all 
point in the same direction. Comparing those with reports from Crested 
Butte and Silt suggests this terminated somewhere north of the Grand 
Mesa. Can't do much better than that with what I've got so far. Some of 
the news sources out west will probably pick up on the story tonight and 
tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get more reports from that direction. It was 
seen as far west as Salt Lake City.

Both western witnesses saw it break up while it was traveling slowly 
enough to glow orange. That means it could have dropped some meteorites. 
Not much chance of finding anything, however, except by blind luck.

Chris

Dear List Members:

I saw it!!  On my  way to work, facing west towards the Rocky Mountains.  I 
witnessed the  whole show.  I was passing near an airport so at first thought 
the spot of  light was related to the air traffic.  Then the light brightened 
and I saw  pieces flaring off.  Toward the end of its flight the dot of light 
just  seemed to fade out.. and then it was gone.  

Simply  spectacular!

Does it look like a cork screw?

Re: [meteorite-list] Bolide Reported From Cape Cod, Mass

[Charlie Devine]

Hello Jerry and Ryan,

From CNN Boston:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/04/25/meteor.shower.ap/

From The Westerly Sun, south coast of Rhode Island:

http://www.thewesterlysun.com/articles/2005/04/25/news/news3.txt

Some observations culled from reports in the Providence Journal:

Tiverton, R.I. police said they searched near the Sakonnet River for
reported meteorite landings but found nothing.  Connecticut state police
were searching near East Lyme last night, based on similar reports.  (
I was artifact hunting along the Sakonnet River today, but, of course,
did not see any skyrox.)

A crowd gathered at Second Beach in Middletown to watch the show in the
sky, according to Newport, R.I. police. 'A woman came into the station
and said it was awesome,'
a Newport police spokesperson said. 'They were down at Second Beach ( a
south facing beach on the Atlantic ), and this thing came screaming
across the sky.  It had a tail and everything. It was green.' 

From R.I. State police: The descriptions varied, a spokesperson said.
It came in as a plane smoking.  Then it came in a a plane throwing out
small articles, which were parachuting.  It really was bizarre.  Most of
the
reports were something that was smoky, or a plane that was on fire the
spokesperson said.

Regards,
Charlie

These two stories have links to a slideshow which
includes a couple of good shots of the roof damage:

At least one of the stories I've read mentions people 
hearing a thunderous explosion.  There's a good pair
of photos that show before and during the
bright-as-day flash.

To Chuck:  When this/these hit, they most likely were 
going the terminal velocity of an object of their size
and density in the atmosphere at the altitude of the
town.  So that would be why the magnitude of the
impacts seems small.  

It would not be very likely that they would reach the 
surface still going at meteor-type hypervelocity.
