I recieved a report today of a fireball that ocurred at 1405 UTC (6:05 am
local) this morning, visible from Seattle.  The observer reports the
brightness as between the 1st quarter and full moon, a path length over 30
degrees, about 30 degrees off the horizon.  It appeared in the NE and moved
to the SE.  It was white-yellow in color, and lasted 2-5 seconds.  Most
interestingly, he reports an electrophonic effect: "There was a a very
distinct crackly white noise sound, audible through closed windows."

Anyone hear any other reports?
