[Robert Lunsford]

The American Meteor Society has received 50 reports of a bright meteor that occurred just after 1800 (6pm EST) on Wednesday evening January 23, 2013. Brightness estimates of this fireball vary considerably, but the average lies near magnitude -15, which slightly exceeds the light produced by the full moon. Every color of the rainbow has been reported with green and yellow being most mentioned. A majority of the reports come from the Boston area but they range from Connecticut and Rhode Island to the south, the Atlantic coastline on the east, Maine to the north, and central New York to the west. Individual reports may be viewed in the 2013 AMS Fireball Table located at: http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball_event/2013/181#top

Clear Skies!
