Fireball SE of Tulsa, Oklahoma
At 11:03 PM CST last night (30JUL2010), I was traveling N-S on Hwy 169 in Tulsa when I
caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a fragmenting fireball south and east of
Tulsa. It appeared to be heading in a S-SW direction. Estimated rough
magnitude of -8 or so.
I only caught a brief glimpse, maybe a little more than a second. I did not
notice a persistent train afterward, although it was a hazy, muggy night with
bright moon low in the east.
I was cursing Delta earlier in the evening for getting me home much later than
scheduled, but the delay paid off in the end.
Will post a fireball report at AMS.

France Daytime Fireball 12JUL2010 13JUL2010

France daytime fireball, July 12th, 06 h34 UT

A French amateur astronomer witnessed a bright daytime fireball on July
12th, 06 h34 UT, from his car, while he was driving close to
Aix-en-Provence (South-Eastern France, 43°30' N, 005°27' E) .
I didn't receive any other reports on it yet, and was wondering if anybody
had heard, seen, or recorded it from Italy or Switzerland. According to
the witness, it appeared N or NNE from his position (I'm waiting for
further information on the real trajectory). The fireball dazzled him, and
took a green, and then red color, followed by an orange train.

Thanks in advance for your help and answers!
Clear skies,
