(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.
