(meteorobs) Iowa Meteor

[Scott Konfrst]

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.
