| Remarks | I was driving home from an auction heading east on route 6, and saw this awesome fireball, in my 45years I've seen meteor showers etc. and a large meteor and flash last year, but this by far was most impressive I've seen in my 45 years. Had to call my wife to tell her immediately, as we both enjoy meteors etc. |
