Alamogordo.NM / West Texas Bolide Meteor  0024 MDST 07MAY2016
Dear LunarMeteoriteHunter,
Had a pretty killer Bolide meteor Saturday morning. You can check it at on my Space Science page. It caused a Electophonic sound event heard by three others and us.
Bill Cooke sent us the data out of the NASA camera in New Mexico up near Alamogordo. It was on the extreme south-eastern field of their camera. Do not know if NMSU got it since their website is no longer up. Dirk it was a shadow caster.

July 30th 2015 Argentinian bolide being falsely represented as a fresh Turkey May 6th 2016 incident. The second footage in B&W is assumed to be authentic (so far) as meteor reports seemed to peak on the 5th/6th. No match yet for it.
