[Utah-astronomy] Bolide?

Patrick: I was doing a star party last night at a Dude Ranch about ten miles south of Bryce Canyon NP. We saw a lot of the Perseids during the course of the evening and then the meteor you described lit up the whole area and the faces of all the Explorer Scouts who were looking up. I told them that a meteor which explodes and leaves a contrail is called a bolide, is that correct? Wayne
