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:
