I heard this morning on the radio about the bright flash in the sky and the
apparent explosion of the object. The news announcement also said that it
appeared to be over one of the reservations in Arizona and that no seismic
activity was detected indicating that no large object impacted locally.
That was an indication that it exploded and no large fragments impacted.

Kevin, thanks for the reply to Jame Crugnale, and thanks for the link!
maybe you want to send him that link too? (although they might need to

Thanks, Kevin, for replying to the weather.com inquiry. I talked to Mike
and his initial reaction is that it was a bolide meteor. Mark Johnston also
has the same opinion. I only guessed at it. If anyone has any other
information or opinions, please let everyone know. If anyone hears
information as to where the debris may have landed, let us know. Kevin, if
Mr Crugnale gets back to you, please forward his reply. Mike, should I let
Frank know you want to borrow his jeep in the near future? Take care, Sam

Good morning,
I jumped on this as soon as I woke up this morning. After seeing a few
video captures, I'm certain it was a meteor. MY expert also confirmed it.
I responded to Mr Crugnale's request for confirmation. No idea yet on
where this may have gone or even if any mass hit the earth. It's a rare
instance when something actually lands, so time will tell. I'm plugged into
the Meteorite community and will update all if I hear anything.
In addition, if anyone wants to escape the sweltering heat this weekend,
Suzanne and I will be selling at the Flagstaff Gem and Mineral show on Fri,
Sat and Sun. Come up and see us.
Here's the link:

Thanks,

If any PAS members have an idea please discuss this today on our
listserve. Then,Kevin, if we get some responses from PAS members,
especially you, Suzanne and Mike, who are meteorite experts, please contact
james.crugnale@xxxxxxxxxxx with whatever the consensus is.
As Secretary of PAS it is best if you keep up your relations with the
media as spelled out in the new bylaws of PAS.
Thanks, Leah for forwarding the inquiry to our PAS members. I am not an
expert, but what about a bolide? What do people think? Sam

Dear Phoenix Astronomy Association,
Hi there, I'm a science editor at the Weather Channel and I'm emailing to
confirm that the mysterious bright light in the sky was a meteor.
