[meteorite-list] fireball seen??

[GeoZay at aol.com]

>>it appeared as a yellowish white truncated
(foreshortened?) cone reducing rapidly in size to nothing.
No sound was heard.
It was odd - it looked initially that something was skipping off our
atmosphere...<<
If it was fairly short in path length, you are most likely looking at a 
foreshortened meteor. That is a meteor appearing near it's radiant. They tend to 
have a somewhat cone look to them.
