| Remarks | Slowest moving fireball I ever seen, Double break at end, Very much resembled re-entry debris as slow as it and the break up even seemed to slow it more. Possible entry flash may be what caught my attention as it showed in my window, may have appeared before I noticed it with the roof of car blocking that part??, very bright, very, very slow. I do have some video of the very edge of it from my home security camera. Will post on Youtube after I get it transferred. (Kansas Fireball ?? something?? with date )for search purposes |
