I agree that the radio report I heard was inaccurate to tie this to the
beginning of the Leonids. My sighting was West to East also, and I know Leo
is in the East. It was so bright that at first we thought it was a small
plane burning up, but it had more of the qualities of a fireball. Another
post suggested it might have been a satellite reentry and not a meteor. That
makes sense, because a satellite would burn up in a similar fashion, I would
think. It clearly broke up in the air also, very visible in the distance. I
hope we get to know for sure what it was. Nice to think it was a very
powerful sporadic.
