June 24th, 2010 – Another Baltimore / PA Meteor
by Mike Hankey, under Comets & Meteors
Another fireball meteor fell over Baltimore and PA on June 24th, 2010.
Orioles fans watched it streak across the Baltimore sky line during a night game Thursday. How cool would that have been!? Plus the O’s won.
Here’s a map of the AMS witness reports, some reports from Maryland Weather Blog and the York Water video (yes York Water captured this one too).
From an early analysis / quick eye up it looks like the termination point for this fireball is somewhere north west of Harrisburg. I have some new data that I’m working with while leads and information continue to come in. Its looking like meteorites may have landed in the Appalachian mountains which will be very difficult terrain to go meteorite hunting in.
Here are a view news stories. The York Daily Record story has a video of the fireball as it terminates.

I bet Alison Kruse caught this alien spacecraft coming in for a landing. Have you called her yet?

I did but her cameras were not up. She would have caught it though.
