Tool bag update and video / Canadian "incoming!"
A number of reports now have the tool bag that drifted away from ISS being at between magnitude 6 and 8. Easily visible from a dark sky with even smallish binoculars. Here's a video Kevin Fetter took and posted to the SeeSat list. Field of view is 38' x 51'. http://www.kfetter.com/satvideo/other/33442.wmv And here's a story on a bolide that lit up the Canadian skies Thursday. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2008/11/20/alberta-meteor.html?ref=rs...

That was an amazing Fireball!!! Is there anyway to know if that was a Meteor or some other debris. Perhaps man-made space trash? -Rich On 11/22/08, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:

Agreed. It's been a while since we've had anything like that around here.

Almost certainly a meteor. It was moving way too fast to be a reentering piece of space junk. patrick
