| Remarks | I'm not a crazy ufo person, my wife and I just happened to notice other lights in the sky. During observation of those, is when I noticed the bright ball. I was just wondering what it might be, space junk falling and burning up, or something more cosmic? Shooting star, comet, fireball?? Thanks and hopefully you can shed some light on it for me. |

| Remarks | It seemed too flare up, shoot across the sky then break apart in to two pieces near the end as it came towards earth. I was sitting upstairs in a dark room because I noticed strange lights in the sky. I was watching them When I noticed the bright ball. Thought it was a shooting star but seemed to get really bright, then broke apart. |
