Greetings meteor and radio meteor observers.

I am starting an archive of specimen fireball captures in video with two 
channel stereo forward scatter sound at the frequencies of 61.250 MHz 
and 83.250 MHz.  I plan to assemble a diverse catalog of fireball movies 
with full duration radio reflections.

Here is a fireball movie from last night as example:

Movies will be in .mp4 format.  A free Quicktime 7 player can play these 
movies.

Brief description of my method is at bottom of the webpage.  Many more 
diverse types of fireball specimens to follow and the archive will be 
developed over time.

Clear skies,
