Great Fireball over Utah and surrounding area

Preliminary Report and video captures

November 18, 2009 : 0707:17-21 UT ( 0007:17-21 MST )

Note: My observatory near Santa Fe, New Mexico is located over 475 miles/ 800 km away from this event! This was a major fireball occurrence to have caused visible flashing from that far away.

Update: The following video has VLF/ELF radio reception on one audio channel and VHF forward scatter on the second audio channel. There is possible VLF/ELF over the horizon electromagnetic emission noted. The fireball at the arrow that goes to the horizon may or may not be connected to the Utah event but the flashes are definitely from the "Utah Fireball."
