| Remarks | as soon as my husband & I returned to our home a couple of hours after this sighting, we searched for any reports of this sighting on the weather.gov, weather channel.com, MassLive.com and WWLP.com (both local news stations sites) and also reported to these sites our sighting information (basic info to them - date, time, color, approx. direction of movement & trajectory), and we did not see any reports or news of a possible meteor sighting tonight. |
