Video Simulation Of Meteor

Jul.16 2009

by Mike Hankey, under Mason Dixon Meteor

This video is not REAL! Its just a simulation. A few nights after the meteor flew over I setup a CSI re-enactment of the event. I put my scope at the location where I believe the picture was taken the night before. I used a laser to pinpoint where in the sky my scope was pointing. (the accuracy of the position may be flawed, but this video is just meant to illustrate what it may have looked like.)

This is a simulation / best guess. Please if you are a meteor expert and have criticism of this simulation please send it to me so we can make improvements to the video.

Special thanks to Doctor Vincent Perlerin and his associates from Paris for analyzing the pictures and working on this video. Vincent you are the man!

NICE Video Mike!

Gives a great new perspective on the Mason Dixon event. Love it! Nice job on the video. Doesn’t matter really if the trajectory is spot on, it’s a cool video and the best fireball recreation I’ve seen. No BS!

Keep up the good work!

Regards,
Eric

It’s like a Jacques Coustea documentary… but with meteors instead of fish.
