| Remarks | was very brite and on fire, with a brite , trailing flame. from my south facing positionon my back porch it traveled quickly from east to west. it appeared to be on a downward trajectory before i lost sight of it do to my roof. i live 10 miles west of dfw airport and am used to low flying aircraft. i would guess this fireball flew by at 10-20,000 feet and was still quite a bit larger than the airliners that fly overhead daily at only a few hundred feet. |
