Dave In Vermont Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Seems it was a brilliant green-colour, which indicates a heavy presence of nickel. Lots of coverage & film of this one. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul73 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Incredible! Some of that baby has got to have made it to the ground in fair sized chunks. I'd take the day off and go find it/them! Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This according to maps & telemetry. Those who were nearest have reported at least one, loud sonic-boom. Otherwise, I'd be tempted to go "prospecting" for pieces of that critter myself! Nice!

Mr Spock Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 With so many astronomers these days having all sky cameras it's a wonder we don't these events more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave In Vermont Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) The USA, at least, is awash in security-cameras, and police in many locales employ "dashcam" video that record everything around their vehicles. So the film is out there - people just don't bother to look for specific-events/times unless something of interest (to the person(s) who own the cameras.
