Four fireballs at four in the last 24 hours
Via American Meteor Society, 19 May 2013 (Thanks Troy) - In
the last 24 hours the AMS has received confirmed reports about 4 unique
fireball events all occurring near 4:00 AM UTC time. The most recent
event occurred in Arkansas and Missouri on May 19th near 3:37 UTC. At
the same time 3:37 UTC 4 witnesses reported a fireball in Arizona.
The distance between these two locations would inhibit witnesses from
observing the same fireball from both locations. On May 18th two large
fireball meteors were also spotted within an hour of each other, one
over the central east coast and another in Colorado. Below is a table of
the events in question.
Above is a map of the four events, illustrating the common direction of these fireballs.
Google Earth users can download a KMZ file containing the trajectory estimates
for these four events (you must unzip the file before opening in Google
Earth). If you witnessed any of these fireball events please fill out
an official fireball report.
