Video indicates visual flash not Jovian


In reference to my message yesterday reporting a visual observation of a possible flash near Jupiter seen by Dennis Kiser at 2:32 UT, David Meisel has sent the following report:

A S-VHS color video tape of Jupiter taken with the CEK Mees Obs. 0.6m
telescope and started at 0230 UTC prior to SL9 object B supposed impact
shows no red flash at any time from 2:30-02:35 UTC while Io was clearly seen
at all times in good seeing.  I suspect the flash was a terrestrial
meteor.....-DDM
