A NASA scientist says the fireball that lit up the Oklahoma sky Tuesday night was in fact a meteor. He also says it was bigger than previously thought. Bill Cooke is an astronomer with the Meteoroid Environment Office at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama who writes a blog on the center's home page. In an entry Friday afternoon, Cooke says he used information gathered by the Elginfield Infrasound Array (ELFO) in Canada to track the meteor's path and to estimate its key characteristics. The array records very low frequency sound waves in order to track meteors. Cooke says based on the information gathered by ELFO,.. Cooke believes the meteor was traveling more than 33,000 miles per hour. So far he hasn't found video of the actual meteor, but has told other web sites he believes the meteor exploded with a force of 40 to 80 tons of TNT. He says the evidence suggests a large "fall zone" for debris in the area of Jackson, Mississippi.

ELP Allsky - Jim Gamble reports:

Major Breaking News...NASA Revising Size And Weight of Mississippi Bolide Upward...13JAN2011 Announces Fall Zone

NASA Huntsville has confirmed that the bolide which exploded over Mississippi on Jan 11, 2011 is a "meter class" object yielding an explosive equivilent of roughly 80 tons of TNT and weighing over a metric ton at detonation. Original estimates put the object's size at 21 inches diameter and weighing 171 kilograms. In an ELPALLSKY interview with the Director of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office in Huntsville AL, Dr. Bill Cooke, at 16:45 MST 01/13/11, Cooke says "the meteor exploded at a high altitude and likely scattered fragments over a large area". Cooke also said "infrasound signatures from the event place the debris fall zone over Jackson Mississippi". This coincides with the original thinking of Dirk Ross Worldwide Meteor/Meteorite News of Tokyo, Japan who theorized Jackson, Mississippi as the potential fall zone just after the event time of 20:45 CST on 1/11/11.


Thanks Dr. Cooke and Jim Gamble.

Important! NASA Huntsville Confirms Fireball Size ... Jackson, Miss 11JAN2011

Bright Fireball Flames in Southern Skies
Posted on Jan 13, 2011 10:55:43 AM by William Cooke, NASA 
Editor's Note: A rare snowstorm isn’t the only interesting thing that happened across the South this past week. On the night of Tuesday, Jan. 11, an extremely bright fireball meteor streaked over Jackson, Miss., and was visible across several southern states. NASA astronomer Bill Cooke of the Meteoroid Environment Office at Marshall Space Flight Center confirms the meteor below.

Okay folks, can confirm that this was indeed a fireball or bolide. Unfortunately no video of the actual meteor has surfaced, so I requested an analysis of signals from North American infrasound stations. We had one very clear detection, from the ELFO station in Canada, and a marginal signal at another station east of the visual sightings. Unfortunately the marginal signal is too weak to permit extraction of much information or to triangulate.

The ELFO signal arrived at 10:05:50 PM Central time, some 1 hour and 20 minutes after the event, and came in at an azimuth of 210 degrees. If you look at the attached plot, the black curved line shows the path of the ELFO signal, which intersects nicely with the bulk of the visual observations -- indicated by the red dot  -- around Jackson, Mississippi (ELFO az gives 32 deg N, 89 deg W -- Jackson is at 32 deg N, 90 deg W).

ELFO radio signal indicates 11JAN2011 meteor over Jackson, Mississippi
(c) NASA 2011

The infrasound signal at ELFO lasted some 2.5 minutes, and the amplitude permits an estimate of the meteor's energy at 4.6 tons of TNT. If we assume a speed of 15 kilometers per second, we can derive a mass of 171 kg or 376 pounds. Making a further assumption that the meteor was porous rock gives a size, or diameter, of 0.54 meters or 21 inches.

Guest858 (guest):Went to get a smoke right before "V" came on TV. Really scared the heck out of me to see a huge bright flash in the sky. I live in Pearl River Mississippi.

Jan 13 2011, 4:15 AM
Guest370 (guest):What I saw last night before 9 p.m. from Battles Wharf, Alabama could best be described as a single shot "roman candle" firework.Greenish and very bright with trailing sparks. That's what it appeared to be when it kept going - then I realized it was a HUGE meteor.

Jan 13 2011, 4:40 AM
(guest): I was walking with my husband last night in biloxi, ms around 8:45pm. I saw something that looked like a firework falling above the rooftop. I pointed it out to my husband just as it went behind the roofs. Then there was a huge flash that looked like lightening. So awesome!

Jan 13 2011, 9:48 AM
Sherry Spruill Young: So I'm wondering, are ALL of the reports from the Southern US last night from a single event, or were there 2 events?

Jan 13 2011, 9:56 AM
Sherry Spruill Young: I've seen numerous reports that a meteor struck near Poteau, OK,which is about 150 miles NNW of me,and also the MS event, which is about 150 miles ESE of me.

Jan 13 2011, 9:57 AM
Sherry Spruill Young: Yet all of the 100 or so residents of the community in which I live heard the boom. It rattled windows and shook homes. Having grown up in south Texas, I'm familiar with sonic booms, and that's the best way I can describe what I heard.

Jan 13 2011, 11:35 AM
Guest872 (guest):Clinon, Louisiana,Jan 11,2011, approx 9:00 PM saw bright flash of light, seemed to traveling north to south. Thought it was a lightening strike but no clouds. My wife and I both saw it through our front picture window.

Guest872 (guest):That was Clinton,Louisiana.

Bill McKinney: IF someone has a small private plane I would be happy to fly Poteau Mountain and find the meteorite crater. At the present time Poteau Mountain has snow on it from top to bottom. Poteau Mountain runs from Heavner, OK to North of Waldron, AR. The Mountain is about 40 miles long and goes from about 380 feet to 2,600 ft. in elevation and it runs west to east. The slopes are steep and the AR side is a Wilderness Area with only one road on top.
