(meteorobs) MS fireball?
Hi All,
Just got this into our club's web site. Can anyone confirm?

I saw what seemed to be a huge meteor burning up over Hattiesburg, MS on
12/26/99 at 7PM. Hattiesburg is about 55 miles north of the coast. The object
was burning a bright red color and had a long tail. Random explosions where
occuring in the tail as pieces must have been breaking off. It was on a
trajectory that seemed to be moving across the sky and not towards the earth.
I know it wasn't very close, because it made no sound that I could here. It
looked similar to giant roman candle and burned very bright from horizon to
horizon in about 5 to 10 seconds. Definitely the most amazing thing I have
ever seen. Did anyone else see it? It looked like it was going around the
world.
