This came to me from a meteor group. Very interesting A/V so I thought I'd post it here.

Also sending it on to Kurt in hopes it might remind him to sign back on to U-A. :)

As an exercise I magnified the New Years's Eve fireball over New Mexico and made versions playing both radio audio channels of forward scatter radio reception in stereo followed by mono versions.

Although the visual image is somewhat crude it does show the plasma trail and general shape of the plasma envelope. There is also definition in the radio reflection.

It would be nice to have a research-grade optical quality glass dome that the camera images through instead of the dense acrylic dome which is somewhat distorting.

This fireball was a "whizzer."

You are on one tonight huh? Lol :-)

Yeah, I guess so. A dear-old friend of some 40+ years passed away early on the morning of Jan. 1. He was the guy who sparked my intetests in WWI aviation and wargaming/history, as well as getting me involved in the world of sci-fi fandom. I've met a lot of authors and actors over the decades because of him, gotten drunk with several. I find myself nostalgic these days. The future that was promised to a kid in the '60's never materialized on-schedule, and all the current techno-toys and on-line life is just a meaningless distraction. Personally, they save me close to zero time compared to the old ways of doing things, and more often than not just distract me from spending time on more substantive matters. YMMV.

Sorry to hear about this Chuck.

Thanks Dan. He was a good man. Brilliant, insightful, and agravating at times, but always a friend and mentor. He is missed greatly.
