(meteorobs) Fireball sighting
This evening (Sat. Oct. 27) My wife and I were
out looking at the moon and a few star clusters from 9pm to 11pm EDT and at
approx 10:30 we both observed a huge Fireball lasting approx 7 seconds and
started white, then grew a tail and turned to bluegreen then a white brite flash
and it was not visible anymore. It was approx 75 degrees off
the western horizon when it started and it flashed out at approx 30 degrees
above the western horizon, so it was either going down to the west of me or it
was moving west through the atmosphere away from me. That would put it out
over the Gulf of Mexico.
Clear Skies!
