Hi Richard,

There's a spelling error in your link -- should be:

<http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full.php>

That said, the fall location was not near Mariposa, and since the
infrasound
coordinates were based on only two ground sites, I wouldn't place too
much
confidence in the solution. A minimum of three sites is required for
triangulation -- more than three if the ground sites detected a bow
shock
rather than a terminal burst (which seems very likely in this case).

Click the link http://radar.wearther.gov/Conus/full.php for a map NASA
pegged for the break-up of the bolide calculated to be rather large and
slow-moving....no direction pin-pointed. It looks to be around Dogtown,
north of Mariposa.

What does everything think??
