The Kentucky fireball Friday night (9:00 PM Central,
10:00 PM Eastern on 13 February; 03:00 UTC Feb 14) 
was observed from at least four states:  Kentucky, 
Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia.  The following 
blog has some reports and a map of report locations:

It seems to have been going east to west.  One good 
report from Owensboro, KY, says that from there it 
appeared at 45 degrees altitude, disappeared at 15 
degrees, and (if I understand correctly) was going 
almost straight down.  This observer estimates the
magnitude at -6 to -7 -- from west central Kentucky.

The following site has some reports from southeast
Tennessee:
