I just got to speak briefly in person with an
eyewitness of yesterday's Texas daylight
fireball. She was walking outside the building
where she lives and looking north or northeast.
She said that the video shows what she saw --
except that it doesn't do it justice in terms
of how impressive it was. Here's again is the
link to the original video, which includes a
brief interview with the photojournalist who
got it. (He was filming runners in the Austin
marathon.)

Now, here are reports regarding the Kentucky
fireball and sonic booms last Friday night
at about 10:00 PM local (04:00 UTC Feb. 14).

That was only about seven hours after the
fireball over Italy at about 20:00 Feb 13 UTC.
