Remarks | I didn't see the initial entry of the meteoroid as I was in a vehicle and lost visual due to a housing complex in front of me. I had a second person in the vehicle with me who also witnessed the event. I had to update the time as I had initially submitted ~8:20 EST when the event took place ~10:20 EST (correction amended). |

Color | Orange, the object had a smoke trail as it was close enough in distance from my location. Alternatively, I want to say it had a small amount of blue near the mass while the tail had sparks of orange extended outward as it fell north of Orlando, FL. |
