Bright Meteor Fireball Detected North of Cranbrook, BC Canada Sep26 09:59:57UT
Detected bright flaring fireball low to Northern horizon bearing 22 degrees.
Event occurred at 2011Sep26 09:59:57 UT (3:59 Mountain Daylight Time). Attached Allsky composite photo has North at 12 o’clock, East at 9 o’clock. Some thin cloud in that direction. The video showed the fireball flare, explode, then dim down to a dot before fading out. Close, but it likely never impacted...
Jeff Brower in Kelowna also spotted it with his Allsky camera on his ENE horizon bearing 65 degrees.
Triangulation puts it approximately Northwest of Calgary, Alberta.
