1978.8#24.6. A Meteor soaring over Telaquana Lake shedding fiery debris. It was reported from Air traffic control towers in Kenia and Anchorage. Both locations reported a low trajectory and thought it dropped into Cook Inlet or hit the Alaska Range Mountains. I was in a small boat with a pike on the line, on the west side of the Alaska Range when we observed it still headed towards UnalaKleet Alaska.
