Re: [Utah-astronomy] Location of this morning's burst
Patrick, If your calculations state the fireball exploded over Dugway, I wonder what in the hell I saw over Lone Peak way to the east? It certainly was way high in the atmosphere and I have seen weather rockets that have exploded up in the atmosphere in Southern California. It looked very similar to a weather rocket, but when I heard on the news about the bolide, I figured it must have been what I had seen. I wonder if the remnants had wafted to the east by the time I saw it. Did anybody else see any strange atmospheric phenomena over Lone Peak early yesterday morning? Strange indeed... Jon
Jon, KSL has photos of the strange clouds seen over the mountains some hours later. Go to KSL.com On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 12:07 PM, <stormcrow60@xmission.com> wrote:
