Jupiter?  I take it no one has defined a formal definition....I'm really
pretty new to all of this, had seen "as bright or brighter than Venus" at a
couple of sites..

If it is Jupiter or brighter then I saw about 5-6 times as many fireballs
Tuesday morning as I thought (saw 10 of Venus brightness or higher) :-)
