? If you haven't already seen today's Spaceweather page, it says the
following:>> TENNESSEE FIREBALL: Space rocks have landed in Tennessee.
That's the conclusion of researchers who recorded a brilliant fireball
streaking over the Smoky Mountain state on Wednesday evening. Bill
Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office reports: "On April 6th at
8:21:57 CDT, NASA all-sky meteor cameras detected a very bright
fireball moving north across the state of Tennessee. First detected 52
miles above the Arnold Air Force base near Tullahoma, the meteor was
brighter than crescent Moon and was approximately 2 feet in diameter,
with a weight of 200 lbs. It was last recorded 30 miles above the town
of Woodbury, Tennessee, moving at a speed of approximately 9 miles per
second (32,400 mph)." Cooke continues: "The NASA Meteoroid Environment
Office has reasonable confidence that some fraction of this meteor
survived to the ground as one or more meteorites. Calculations are
underway to determine the general impact location, which may lie close
to the> ?Kentucky border.">> ? Any of our great radar-wonder-wizards
working on this one yet???>> ? Best wishes,> ? Robert Woolard>>>>>>>>
