| Remarks | We reported a much larger/brighter one last year seen in Wake Forest, NC. What we reported was confirmed by many witnesses, so I feel pretty good about my reporting, as we felt it might have been within 30 miles of our location and according to "report a fireball" it was extrapolated to be pretty close to that.Tonights may have lasted just at 5-6 seconds...was not as bright as last year's but definitely caught my eye as it traveled very low, almost horizontal with sky, and broke apart before disappearing. I truly feel this may have broken apart somewhere above Brazos County, Texas |

| Remarks | Very low in the sky streaking from right to left in front of me as I drove NW on Hwy 30 (the road curves but at that point I believe that's the direction. It was bright, and I almost had time to get a camera, but it broke apart at that point. It lost brightness as it broke apart pretty quick. |
