摘要：

ON 9 October 1992, a bright fireball appeared over West Virginia, travelled some 700 km in a northeasterly direction, and culminated in at least one impact: a 12.4-kg ordinary chondrite was recovered in Peekskill, New York(1). Fortuitously, the event was captured on several video recordings, which provide a detailed record of both the fragmentation of the object and related atmospheric effects. These are the first motion pictures of a fireball from which a meteorite has been recovered. We report here the preliminary analysis of 14 video recordings of the event, from which we determine the ground path and the original orbit of the object.
