billpeters Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Everyone who saw this event please put it on the AMSmeteors.org reporting website http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireballs/fireball-report/ so that we can get good coordinates of a likely fall zone. billpeters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsa luck Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Fall zone is already known and I bet many parts made it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billpeters Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Dave, Your map shows the possible fall zone just north of the Upper Salt River on the Whiteriver Apache Reservation.The Upper Salt River is a massive canyon nearly the size of the Grand Canyon in scale and virtually unknown to most Arizonans. The area is extremely steep and rugged. You usually need a permit and, possibly, a local guide to go off the main route 60. Your vehicle and equipment may be impounded and not returned by local tribal authorities if there without permission. Especially in this record heat, this area is not for the physically unfit or unprepared. The real question is what is the source of your plot prediction and how accurate is it? Refinement is critical to avoid wasted searches. I know from personal experience. I personally interact with and hire Whiteriver Apache members for my business and have contacts. billpeters 602-312-9888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regmaglitch Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 One of the surgeons that I work with, and lives in Paradise Valley, saw the light from the fireball and his house shook, went outside to see what it was, and told me that 30 seconds to a minute after the light went out of sight, there was a loud boom followed by 3 "pops". I will hunt this one off-reservation. . Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
