(meteorobs) Fireball? [Fwd: Tucson AZ USA, Nov 2000]
I received the following fireball report from a private party in Tucson,
AZ. I suspect it is a sporadic. Or could it be an early Geminid?
Any ideas?

On the Wed night before Thanksgiving November 2000, my son & I observed
a huge meteor (?) it was in the Eastern sky moving South to North. It
seemed to be about half the size of the moon, was bright green to
yellow/orange before it disappeared. Were we the only ones to see this
spectacular sight? I saw nothing about this in the NP, or on the news.
Might you know what this was? a late Leonid?
I await your reply.
Thank you.
