(meteorobs) April 26 Fireball

[Tracie Frontin]

My husband also saw a fireball on 4/26/6.  I will have to get more detail
from him but it was about 9 or 9:30 pm Mountain Standard time and he was in
the Ennis Montana area.  He said it was really bright and lasted about 5
seconds.  He doesn't usually "meteor gaze"  as he calls it so it must have
been bright to get his attention while driving.  Their is so little extra
light here in this part of Montana that it is great for viewing.

A significant fireball, rivaling the full moon in brightness, was seen over
the northeastern USA and Ontario, Canada near 2330 EDT on April 26 (0330
Universal Time April 27). Most of the reports received by the American
Meteor Society indicate a duration of five seconds with a strong
bluish-green color. At this time it appears this object was a sporadic
(random) fireball, not associated with any known stream.

Clear Skies!
