RE: [APML] Bright Meteor Over West TX

Hi Jim,
 
I was there and seem to recall a bright skimmer around that time. We also had our share of clouds, though.  As a matter of fact, I think I captured another bright meteor on the previous night.  If I got anything interesting, I'll post it after I get the film processed.

Subject: [APML] Bright Meteor Over West TX

Did anyone on this list, or at the Texas Star Party monitoring this list observe a very bright meteor with multiple flashes over West Texas on 5/6 at 22:19 MDT ? The event was obscured by clouds from here and still flashed at a -7.4 visual magnitude.  
A composite flight image and QuickTime movie capture of this event is available at
http://www.geocities.com/desert_lights/latestelpasoevent.html
Brightest flash occured at AZ 118.1 at an EL of 3.0 from this location which could put this event very close to (maybe just N of) the Davis Mountains. 
Thanks for any response.
Regards,
