Bright flash followed by a streaking fireball in the sky. Streak lasted ~3 sec in a blueish (somewhat Teal) color. uncured shortly before 1am on the morning of 9/17 Eastern time in PA. Event was silent- i turned radio off and rolled down windows and waited, but no sound what-so-ever. amazing to see. |
