yes, I called it a magnitude -4, so it's called a fireball.

That's a good idea Kim. A -4 for is the minimum fireball magnitude I
feel is worth making a MIAC report. Because the fireball we saw is
Perseid
and not a SPO, any chance of it surviving the atmosphere is a big fat
"0".
The big terminal flash at the end of the meteor path we saw meant it
vaporized
right away.
