Yuba City, California Meteor Captured on Camera 26JUN2011

Early morning meteoroid June 26, 2011 at 0453 PDT (1153 GMT) over Yuba City, California.

After a very long period of slow fireball activity, a somewhat unusual event occured early in the morning of June 26, 2011 at 0453 PDT (1153 GMT) over Yuba City, California. This meteoroid originated at zenith and lasted 3 seconds in a SouthWest direction (South-West at 244 deg. True North.), ending at an apprx. altitude of 46 degrees. I do not know if this event fits the theoretical modeling Dirk has suggested regarding associated material from space accompanying (before and after) the asteroid 2011 MD. -YCSentinel
