Usually lurking on this list but regular meteor watcher. Just sitting in my
living room and glanced to the north out our patio window. Huge fireball at
about 15 degrees altitude, traveling 15 degrees north to
345 degrees north (my bad coordinates - azimuth?), green, probably -4 or -5
mag, broke up into two pieces at the tail end maybe a third small piece.
>From my angle the meteor would have appeared to have been over the sky just
east of Omaha traveling SE to NNW. It's been a long time since I have seen
such a big and bright meteor. Excited.
