2008/01/30.45932 = 2008/01/30 11:01:25 UT = 2008/01/30 04:01:25 MST Mars from SLC Azimuth :+296°17' Altitude :+10°38' May have to buy a ticket to Rob R's place for this one. -:) I suspect the whole thing is another media attention getting exercise, but hope that one of the Rovers gets a picture of the fireball flying directly overhead through the upper atmosphere followed by the impact live on CNN through the cameras of the USA MRO and ESA Mars Express - while I'm looking at the impact flash through e.p.!

Hi Patrick I went out to go take a look and clouds moved it, we are usually very clear during full moons, so I was surprised that it got cloudy. Sorry, no occultation. Aloha Rob
