| Remarks | It burst and there were bright fragments - I initially thought it was someone’s fireworks, but never saw anything else in the area. When I checked social media, I realized many other people saw it too, and it was reported in the news. There was a football game being held close by and their band was audible, so I didn’t hear anything associated with the meteor from inside my truck. |
