On 2/15/2013, I took 4 iPhone pictures (Pics) from 6:53 a.m. PST, then 4 Sony HDD pics to 6:57 PST, before driving on to work. Pic 8 captured the meteor; other Pics don't. Pic 8 shows trajectory falling. Morning light has increased, so it was harder to see--Pic 8 is faint but clearly visible. No local reports in news that I found. There was a nighttime meteor shower reported, but nobody else saw in the morning, I think. Please let me submit Pic 8, which is incorrectly time stamped 7:57 a.m. due to fact I entered Sony HDD time/date setting during DST in 2009, while I took Pics 1-8 before 3/10/13, i.e. before DST started in 2013--my iPhone Pics correctly reflect PST time as 6:53 a.m. and 6:54 a.m. I did not know the difference between meteor,comet and asteroid, but after seeing this, I researched and I am pretty sure it was a meteor. The birds were freaking out, causing me to look up while walking to car; that's when I first saw it above the horizon while walking to my car in my parking lot. Pic 8 captured the meteor's bulbous head, but didn't capture how fiery the head actually looked. Pic 8 did capture that the head was brighter and thicker than the very long tail, however Pic 8 showed the head as more orange and the tail as more pink than it appeared to my naked eye. Please offer your analysis! Thank you, Michael Braun, Esq. (612) 743-1025 michaelsbraun@yahoo.com |
