| Name | Paul C |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Fireball came from about 23 degrees out of the NE at ~9:39pm est, exited around 225 degrees SW, duration about 1.5 seconds. Yellow at first and then a light green at the termination. I estimate the width of the trail to be 1 degree...it was quite wide. Fireball was visible for 50 to 60 degrees across the sky. No sound. Potential fragmentation but exit was blocked by my roofline. This will be my 4th reported Fireball, not sure why my prior reports are not on your website? anyway, I am a lucky person and keep looking up my friends. Peace Owt, PC |
