Hi All,
Randomly checking the NMSU site for recent fireballs, I noticed that Steve Schoner's
camera picked up a bright, slow-moving one Wednesday during evening twilight:

Notice that the fireball is actually *rising* in elevation angle as it approaches
from the north-northeast, reaches its highest elevation east of Flagstaff,
then descends into the south before it fades and fragments. Unfortunately,
there doesn't appear to be a second camera that recorded it, so optical
triangulation is out. But at that time of the evening there should have been
plenty of witnesses. A check of the AMS website, however, doesn't show
any reports of it.
