AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
905 PM EDT MON JUL 23 2001
STILL BUSY FIELDING A LOT OF CALLS ABOUT THIS EVENING'S METEOR.
FORTUNATELY ALL WEATHER BEHAVING AS CURRENTLY FORECAST...SO NO MAJOR
CHANGES EXPECTED FOR THE OVERNIGHT.
I PERSONALLY WITNESSED THE METEOR RIGHT AROUND 630 PM. I WAS FACING
NORTHEAST AND SAW AN EXTREMELY BRIGHT BALL OF LIGHT TRAVELING AT A
HIGH RATE OF SPEED FROM RIGHT TO LEFT (MOSTLY SOUTH TO NORTH) AT
ABOUT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE ELEVATION WITH THE GROUND. THE BRIGHT LIGHT
CEASED ABRUPTLY BEFORE THE OBJECT REACHED THE HORIZON...LEADING ME
TO BELIEVE IT EITHER BURNED UP OR FULLY ENTERED THE EARTH'S
ATMOSPHERE. A THIN PLUME OF SMOKE RESEMBLING AN AIRPLANE CONTRAIL
WAS LEFT IN ITS WAKE. I ATTEMPTED TO LOCATED THIS ON GOES IMAGERY
BUT HAVE SO FAR BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL.
OTHERWISE ANOTHER QUIET EVENING.
.CTP...NONE.
