Trick or Treaters in the middle eastern portions of the USA were treated to 
at least two bright fireballs on the evening of October 31. The American 
Meteor Society has received over one hundred reports of these objects. Most 
of the reports involve a fireball brighter than the full moon that occurred 
near 0215 UT (9:15 EST). Most of the reports have been from the 
Maryland/Virginia region but there have also been reports as far south as 
Georgia, as far west as Kentucky, and as far north as New Jersey.

A more complete report will be forthcoming as soon as all the reports have 
been read and recorded.

Clear Skies!
