| Remarks | I was looking West-ish when I first saw it walking out of the store, thought a plane at first then it got brighter and then saw the tail. Fire ball went from west-ish to N-NE-ish, passing through the upper middle handle of the big dipper before fading from sight. This area has borttle (spelling?) 1 to 0 sky's, can see Milkyway with bare eyes outside of town. |
