(meteorobs) Re: NE Fireball, 12/26/00
Here's the beginning of a media report of a fireball seen
over Vermont, USA, on December 26:
"BURLINGTON - A bright object that raced across the Vermont
and was seen by scores of people was probably a meteor,
officials say.
"Reports of the object, which was heading east to west at
about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, came in from around the state:
Vergennes, Milton, Guilford, Essex, Berlin."

It seems possible that it could be the same Dec. 26 fireball
that Jim Bedient mentioned a couple of days ago:
