Fireball Detection IR sensors aboard US DOD satellites detected the impact of a bolide over the Eastern US on 23 July 2001 at 22:19:11 UTC. The object was traveling roughly East to West. The object was first detected at an altitude of approximately 82km at 41.5 North Latitude, 75.6 West Longitude, and tracked down to an altitude of approximately 32 km at 41.3 North, 77.3 West. The impact was simultaneously detected by space based visible wavelength sensors operated by the US Department of Energy. The total radiated energy was approximately 1.27 X 10^12 joules. ************************************************************************** PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SATELLITE BOLIDE RELEASE AND ALL PREVIOUS SUCH RELEASES CAN BE FOUND ON THE WWW AT http://phobos.astro.uwo.ca/~pbrown/usaf.html --
