I was not aware there was interest in such a sighting. I was on watch at the helm and did not record the time so it is my best guess and should not be considered accurate. It was the first fireball I had ever seen and appeared lower and slower than the other meteors I see. It also was not a point of light like other meteors but had a visible width/dimension to the head and tail.
