The American Meteor Society has been deluged with over 50 reports of a
bright fireball occurring just before 20:00 PDT (also MST) on the evening of
Wednesday September 14th. A quick look indicates maximum brightness equal to
that of the full moon and possibly some fragmentation. I will not be able to
post these to the AMS web site until later today, after I return home from
work. If I can add any details after reading all the accounts, I will post
them.

Clear Skies!
