May 7, 2011- Georgia Visited by Another Bright Meteor!

Once again, on May 7, 2011, Georgia's night skies are lit up by a bright meteor - also known as a Bolide or Fireball.
A Sandia National Laboratories Fireball Camera, located in Ty Ty, Georgia on the site of the Red Barn Observatory was able to capture this particular event. The meteor appeared on May 7, 2011 at 1:01 AM EST and lasted for nearly seven seconds before finally "burning out" near the eastern horizon. As of now, no other observations of this fireball have been reported.
