(meteorobs) October 6, 2011 Fireball over Southeastern USA

[weezygwynett]

I saw this last night.  It was beautiful.  I was outside at Mexico Beach, FL and it looked like it fell in the Gulf of Mexico.  A few minutes later it looked like an airplane was investigating the location where it looked like the fireball fell.
