This was very low. I could have reached up and grabbed it. I lost sight of it behind the overhead awning of the gas station in front of Ingles. My guess is this was probably a fragment, and it probably hit in the grassy area on the Shaw property just to the west of the shopping center. It was very bright and VERY low. I remember thinking "What dumbass is shooting fireworks across the parking lot?" then realized it had to be a meteorite....
