Can you ping me when you have images?
No problem..
I’m hoping for a big one fragmenting with some good streaks of fire
Shots like the old classic video of the high school football game with that big ball of fire flying by in the background would be a tough one to top, but fingers crossed.
pretty much a fizzler here, it seems .. no pics.. yet. ;-)
I’m hoping some tribeman had his Kodak handy..

MOUNTAIN VIEW — NASA scientists at Ames Research Center in Mountain View say scientists did something Monday night that they’ve never been able to do before. They were able to predict where and when an asteroid would enter the earth’s atmosphere.
The asteroid was about the size of a car and entered the atmosphere over the African country of Sudan going about eight miles a second.
So far there are no reports of damage. It is believed that the space rock burned up before reaching the ground, although small pieces could have made it to the ground.
