The fireball meteor was determined to be from the ongoing Delta Aurigid meteor shower and was traveling with a decent of approximately 70 degrees at approximately 34 to 42 kilometers per second or approximately 21-26 miles per second, personal communication Thomas Dorman, USA. If any material actually made it to earth, which is unlikely due to the meteoroid size and velocity, it landed in the Pacific Ocean off Taiwan.
我個人與在美國的Thomas Dorman溝通後,認定火球是來自目前發生中的御夫座δ流星雨 Delta Aurigid,合理估算以70度角和大約每秒34到42公里(21-26英里/秒)的速度行進。假設還有任何殘留物質抵達地面,落點應該在台灣外面的太平洋上,不過以流星的速度和大小來看不太可能有殘留物。

Space Rock Streaks through the Northern Taiwan Sky Captured by CCD Camera
by Dirk Ross, Tokyo 11OCT2021
  An auspicious synchronicity occurred as a fireball meteor entered over Taiwan as the Forshang Patriarch monk, at Yuan-Dao Guanyin Temple, was chanting sunrise blessings at 05"00"56 TW Local time, Thursday, October 7th... Just as OM was being uttered the meteor vanished, as if the message was being carried as it hit the Earth by the light of the meteor... and it was all captured on video! “https://www.yuandao.org.tw/ “

The fireball meteor was determined to be from the ongoing Delta Aurigid meteor shower and was traveling at approximately 34 to 42 kilometers per second or approximately 21-26 miles per second, personal communication Thomas Dorman, USA. If any material actually made it to earth, which is unlikely due to the meteoroid size and velocity, it landed in the Pacific Ocean off Taiwan.

Fireball meteor capture over Taiwan is extremely rare due to the lack of cameras trained towards the night sky over Taiwan. This was an extremely rare event to have been captured. The only known dedicated allsky camera for meteor detection in Taiwan is the TAIMON Spalding/Sandia Sentinel in Pingtung City, Taiwan and operated by teacher/astronomer Shih,Shih-Jhih at Jian Guo Elementary School.

Ross, a long proponent of implementing a Taiwan nationwide allsky meteor detection camera network, hopes that Taiwan people become more aware of checking video systems and reporting events. Ross would like to thank those involved for bringing this meteor event to his attention for study. 

Anyone wishing to report a meteor event or meteorite find may contact Ross at "lunarmeteoritehunter@gmail.com"

相機捕獲太空岩石在北台灣天空飛馳而過的痕跡
撰文:Dirk Ross/吳遜慈,東京 2021/10/10
--
10/7星期四早上5點,伴隨著日出前的祈福吟誦聲,一個吉祥的徵兆出現,火流星劃過了緣道觀音廟(https://www.yuandao.org.tw/index.php )上空--一座位於台灣北部的佛乘宗祖師廟。火流星隨著祈福的「哞」聲飛逝而過,帶著火尾的光芒撞擊地球,彷若交付了來自遙遠宇宙深處的訊息...而這一切都被影片捕獲! Delta Aurigid 流星雨
這顆火流星經過美國天文專家Thomas Dorman確認是來自目前正在發生的 ,飛行 速度大約是每秒鐘34~42公里(21~26英里/秒),根據其大小和飛行速度研判,應該不太可能有燃燒剩餘的隕石留下,如果有,落點應該在台灣東邊的太平洋海上!
火流星的捕獲在台灣是非常罕見的事件,由於台灣很少有一直對準夜空的攝影機,因此這次捕獲火流星相當難得! 目前台灣唯一已知的專門監控天空的攝影機,是一套位在屏東的全天空攝像系統(TAIMON Spalding/Sandia Sentinel ) ,該系統目前由天文愛好者建國國小施世治校長操作!
ROSS長期致力於支持台灣全天空流星偵測攝影系統網路的設置,希望台灣民眾可以更常注意攝影系統並回報各種天空事件! ROSS希望可以藉由這些流星事件回報的參與來進行進一步研究。
任何人若要回報隕石目擊或找到隕石可以聯絡ROSS lunarmeteoritehunter@gmail.com 他能夠以中文溝通。
