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.
