FIREBALL of 1966 July

A very bright fireball was reported on this date at approximately 10:58 p.m., E.S.T.,
from stations in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. However, the Illinois report must be
T of another fireball, almost simultaneous, as its path does not agree with other data. We a

far from fuliy satisfactory, but is the best the data afford. Three observers report its I
brightness was comparable to the Moon's, one that it cast distinct shadow, two gave its
magnitude as -6. We may assume its zenithal magnitude was about -9 at its end.
1 The duration of fight was 2.75 ± 0.5 sec. 8 observers. Its color was blue green. No long
. enduring train was left. It flared once. The usual data follow but no orbit is computed
due to the relative uncertainty of the atmospheric path.
