Meteor/Meteorite News- More Videos of the 6JUL09 Pennsylvania Fireball 10OCT09

I've recently been able to collect 4 new meteor videos from the York
Water company. All of the videos come from the same original location
and are taken from different cameras.

One in particular has really good shadows.

An interesting observation I made while reviewing these: 3 of the
videos show a secondary light flash after the primary burst. In the
shadow video it looks like the shadow is longer on the secondary
flare. I think this could mean the 2nd object is lower in altitude?

Another thing that is interesting is in one of the videos a light goes
out 27 seconds after the meteor is first seen. I'm thinking the sonic
boom tripped a sensor or blew out the light bulb. I'm not sure if
there is benefit in knowing the exact amount of time that transpired
from the original sighting to the sonic boom.

These 4 videos bring York Water's total video count up to 6 plus the 3
others makes 9 total videos for this fall.

I put all 6 York Videos into one youtube to keep them all in the same
place. Two of these are re-posts but the other 4 are new.

Pennsylvania Meteor/Meteorite News- York Meteor Video Recovered -6OCT09

new video of the Mason Dixon Meteor. Its
technically not really new, but it was new to me and never published
to my knowledge. This video was taken by the York Water Company. I
recently contacted Jeff Hines, the president of York Water, about
doing a calibrated stellar survey of his original video. Through the
course of the conversation he let me know about his 2nd video. Its not
as sensational as the first but it does show a shadow cast from a tall
flag pole as well as several other smaller shadows. If you are
interested in more info or the high res version please contact me off
list.
