| Name | Clifton R |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | Yes--For the heck of it, I broadcasted the observation on Twitter to see who else saw it. To my surprise, a fair amount of Twitter replies. I'm updating my magnitude estimate after using your scale. Here's a link to the Tread: #FortWorth #fireball #astronomy I just observed a large and bright, magnitude -1 to 1.5, meteorite "fireball" WNW of Fort Worth Texas at 10:18 PM CDT. Anyone else see it?— Clifton Reed (@MarcusArulius) September 19, 2018 |
