Roman PifflCEMeNt – Central European Meteor Network
We have one casual video taken from a car with quite good quality (but fireball is very low over horizon). Maybe it will be usable for velocity determination. I will ask where exactly this video was taken but as i know roughly it was close to Radom in central Poland... — in Radom, Poland.

Jodie Reynolds, USA PI, and Dirk Ross, Japan Researcher, have spent the past seven days, X20 hours a day, to get reports and information documented and calculated before sending teams to the field.

Maps of the projected strewnfield and overall observer data completed.  An orbit has been calculated for the meteoroid/s.  Maps are available for legitimate Australian Researchers upon request and verification.

A team of four has visited the area to search.  Congrats MeteorRats!  Thanks!

Second team arrived today for search of a different portion of the projection. - no report yet.

In all, three videos of the event have been recovered and several key witnesses came forward with sonics data and sighting information.  Thank you all!

Bob gave the Bruces Boy some raw eggs and slowly backed away knowing that if he slipped up the Bruces would suck his blood dry. ...
