(meteorobs) Nov 9, 1998 Fireball over Connecticutt USA
Hey guys!
There's a few reports of a bright fireball on aol's bulletin boards this
morning. Apparently occuring on the evening of Nov 9, 1998 around 7 pm(or
about 24h00UT nov 9). From the descriptions, it sounds like it could be a
significant bright one.

And I wondered if anyone else caught it! We saw it in SE Connecticut last
night. My 10-year-old daughter, looking west out of her back window, got the
best view; all I saw from the front passenger seat was a brief flash, almost
as big as the moon.
She said that it was incredibly fast, with "sparks" making up a tail. I told
her how lucky she was to see something like that! Hopefully we can find out
more about it. Was this a stray Leonid precursor? Space junk?
Somebody must have an idea.<<
