Last evening TUE 1/19/99 I arrived in the Makiki area (south-central
foothills of the ridge) about 10PM, and while standing near a drinking
fountain, looking southward, saw a blue-green fireball move quickly (but only
a small fraction as fast as a meteor streak) from approximately
high-south-east to low-south, meandering just slightly. A few minutes (2~5)
later two airplanes followed a similar course (typical commercial) - the
pilots probably saw it. The color was pretty - bright pastel-blue-green - but
the direction most curious: almost toward the south pole: that seems far-off
the ecliptic plane, and less usual course than say east or west - I'd
(years-ago) seen a red fireball almost end-on coming-in from the west: so
that it seemed to slowly wander northward. Blue-green - is that a copper
meteor? [PS: is there a more regular site for current sightings]
