The first one we saw was on Sunday, September 4, 2011, at approx. 9:00 pm, going in a West to ESE direction, and at a much higher altitude. It was just as spectacular as this evenings. This evening\'s fireball was most definitely in a downward trajectory as compared to the previous Sept. 4 fireball. |
