[meteorite-list] June 23 Colorado fireball

[Chris Peterson]

I recorded a very bright fireball over Colorado on June 23 at 2:49 am MDT. 
It produced a terminal explosion of magnitude -13, brighter than a full 
Moon. It was fast and steep, and exploded pretty high. Also, I suspect it 
was a member of the rare (and possibly non-existent) June Lyrids, so may 
well have been cometary. All of this points to a fireball that didn't 
produce meteorites, but I figured there might be some interest here, anyway.

Be sure to view the videos- the terminal explosion is very impressive.
