[meteorite-list] Slow Moving Fireball Over North Carolina

[Jim Wooddell]

Hi Ed,

It would help to have a date and exact time.

Even if the cameras do not capture anything, an operator can go back and 
make a movie (Sandia./NMSU network) for the time stated to determine if 
there was anything out side of what triggers the recording to take place.

Cheers!

Jim
