> I think it was a slow meteor, and have said so to Sirko, and > the meteorobs list. I agree. Looking at the video frame by frame, I get an angular velocity of about 6 degrees/second just before the midpoint. With some simple gonio this results in a velocity close to 11 km/s, assuming 100 km altitude. That and the absence of a suitable decay candidate, makes me think it is a (very slow) meteor too. - Marco ------ Marco Langbroek Dutch Meteor Society (DMS) Leiden, the Netherlands 52.15896 N, 4.48884 E (WGS 84) e-mail: meteorites@dmsweb.org DMS website: http://www.dmsweb.org priv. website: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
