Copied from Spaceweather.com email. Note the second to last sentance.


FIREBALL ALERT: On Sunday morning, Jan. 15th, between approximately 1:56 and 1:59 a.m. PST (0956 - 0959 UT), a brilliant fireball will streak over northern California and Nevada. It's NASA's Stardust capsule, returning to Earth with samples of dust from Comet Wild 2. Observers along the flight path should have a marvelous view of this rare man-made meteor.  Radio signals reflected from the capsule's ionized tail may be heard from a much wider area--hundreds to thousands of miles away.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for maps and observing tips.

I heard Fireball talking to Richard on 3878 the other night.
