video clip

Peter Jenniskens and Bo Gustafson observed a bright -8 Leonid fireball at 7:46:59 UT in south-western direction while flying near Fort Lauderdale in a cessna aircraft. Note the diffuse beginning of the 07:46:59 UT fireball. The fireball ended outside the field of view and left a long-lasting persistent train.
