Specimen Fireball 4 : October 7, 2008   1033 UT

This fireball was the strongest of the night but was not a Sentinel capture.  In the movie below it appears as a
tiny speck in the left portion of the screen. It paases very quickly but makes a lovely sonic radio reflection.

Sonic Movie :  Ashcraft's dual forward scatter system;   video and stereo sound:
Strongest radio fireball reflection of the night.
