[meteorite-list] Observing Lunar Meteorite Impacts

[Jerry Flaherty]

Hi Sean,
Perhaps the "rarity of such documented strikes is best explained by the 
text....

"The video plays in 7x slow motion; otherwise the explosion would be nearly 
invisible to the human eye. "The duration of the fireball was only 
four-tenths of a second," says Cooke. "

Unless a very significant strike occurs [and it's being viewed....]
