The date for this was Saturday Nov. 17th. This guy is looking for anyone that might have a picture of the fireball that they observed. -----Original Message----- From: James Peterson [mailto:James.Peterson@sdl.usu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 3:52 PM To: DunnDave@aol.com Cc: david_dunn@albertsons.com; Dale Hooper Subject: Nov 2001 Leonid Meteor photos? Hi Dave, I work for Space Dynamics Lab at USU. I got your name and email from Dale Hooper. During the Leonid meteor shower last November, a colleague and I made a mid-wavelength infrared measurement of a meteor from our facility here in Logan. In doing so, we have create a great deal of exitment from the folks who study these meteors. Unfortunately the field-of-view of our visible camera was too narrow and we didn't catch the same meteor on our visible camera. I have performed some analysis on IR data from the meteor and am presenting it saturday at NASA/Ames and again the first part of May in Tokyo, then publish the results in some journal. What I really need to go along with the measurements and analysis I have done is ANY kind of visible imagery (photo, video, ect.) . Do you think there might have been someone in the Ogden Astronomical Society who might have something like this? At this point I can't offer any $, but they would certainty get credit in any publications for anything they might be able to provide. Here is the info: The meteor was a hugh fireball - I observed it visually. The local time was 03:40:33, plus or minus about 1 second, and the meteor lasted for slightly longer than 0.5 seconds. From Logan we estimated that it was about 30 degrees from the Zenith and 105 degrees from North (S75E), with at an estimated range of 125km. Which, from Ogden, would to be at nearly the same Zenith and almost due East to slightly North of East. Could you check and see if anyone caught any 'fire balls' during this time period? Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Maybe you could also forward this to anyone you may know in SLC that might have been photographing or videoing that night.
