| Remarks | I saw the meteorite from the 10th floor of a building. I lost sight of the meteorite when it descended behind a series of high rise buildings in front of me. About 3-5 seconds after it went out of out of my line of sight, a flash of bright white glow illuminated the area it descended around. Reminded me of a lightning strike and how it illuminates the sky. |
