Here’s data from the Ingalls, NC meteorite fall from 1:14 AM eastern this morning. The first is a composite of all radar signatures of falling meteorites. These are all <10g in mass. The second is a strewn field map with 1kg (red) grading to 100s of g, 10s of g, and 1-10g (yellow). This is an intentionally simplified map and actual meteorite masses may be mixed up a bit.

Major Asteroid Debris Passes? or Hits?
Bolide Meteor Fireball 23-Second Duration Texas, New Mexico, Colorado 21SEP2010


"EVENT 3"- 23 Seconds!!! Multple Bolide Event 9:03MDT 21SEP2010
(03:03 UTC 22SEP2010) Event 3 of 4 reported
written and reported by Jim Gamble (El Paso) and Dirk Ross (Tokyo)
All RightsReserved LunarMeteorite*Hunters 12:03p 22 SEP2010 Tokyo
Contact for publication: drtanuki@gmail.com


Allsky cameras throughout New Mexico captured a major bolide(s)/meteor fireball(s) at approximately 9:03 pm MDT (03:03 UTC). The fireball was traveling SSE to NNW, one of which flew directly over Albuquerque, NM producing sonic booms as reported by Thomas Ashcraft of the Ashcraft All Sky Meteor Observatory in Santa Fe, NM.
The "Event 3" was visually observed from El Paso All Sky Camera in El Paso, Texas by Jim Gamble. Initial estimates place the magnitude of the event at a -11 (nearly as bright as the full moon).
"Event 3", captured by the Ashcraft Observatory had a duration of 23 seconds with no terminal detonation detected, even though sonic booms were reported.
Additional data/video from Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM. and New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM. will be released later when available.
Reports on Events 1, 2, and 4 are posted, please see Jim Gamble`s Website @ http://www.elpasoallsky.blogspot.com/
