Duration about three seconds, but observer did not see first part of fireball. Estimate durantion at five to six seconds. Fragmentation. Appeared to terminate in Arizona at least as far South and East of Las Vegas as Bull Head City, probably further.

>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.
