Fireball over Bosnia

Toda22

The Force is Strong With This One
Rough translation with Google Translator

An bolid exploded over Sarajevo, a fireball went out on 30 km from the Earth.
Tonight at 0:36:59 hours over Sarajevo in a multiple blast through the atmosphere a meteoroid body penetrated. Parts could fall to the ground as meteorites.

Bosnia's meteor network, run by Astronomical Society Orion and Federal Hydrometeorological Institute in Sarajevo, cameras in Sarajevo, Gradačac and Pelješac registered the incursion of the bolid with magnitude above -9, which is a equal to glow of the moon in the first quarter.

This is the brightest meteor - bolid that has been observed so far during the probationary work of the Bosnian meteor network. The Fireball flew at a speed of about 20 km / s and turned off at an altitude of about 30 kilometers, which, according to past experience of the astronomers means that decline of the body to the surface of the Earth is eventually possible.

According to preliminary calculations of experts from the Astronomical Society of Orion, the crash would be the in the area of a triangle Zenica - Bugojno - Travnik. Meteoroid bodies that arrive below this level, if not completely fall apart, depending on their composition, they give us a chance to find them as a meteorite.

The Astronomical Society Orion invites any eyewitnesses or those whose cameras perhaps recorded this phenomenon to occur, to contact AD Orion: _info@adorion.ba.

Yep. Reminds me of HeMan's sword (thank you childhood cartoon memory!):


:whistle:

Complete with arc discharge! Absolute proof that comets are not dirty snowballs. :halo:

Discharge of the sword affects the tiger changing him.

The bolid that exploded above Sarajevo is recorded also from Italy and Croatia

According to information that came in the Bosnian meteor network, run by the Astronomical Society Orion and the Federal Hydrometeorological Institute Sarajevo, the bolid that exploded above Sarajevo on November 02 was recorded with several cameras from Croatia and Italy.
For now only a snapshot from Italy (is available) that shows the bolid in its full glory. These data could help in more accurate locating the position of his eventual fall. Some preliminary calculations indicate that the weight of this meteoroid body that has seeped into the atmosphere could be close to 15 kilogram. So the chances are increasing that some pieces reached the ground.

If new information about this meteor (or new ones) appear in Bosnia, I am going to post them here.
