| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Elissar B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My daughter & I saw a fire (small campfire size) at Marconi Plaza 1/2 hour later, while driving back on Easton Ave. & taking the right exit to JFK Blvd. We called 911, but we were told (also saw & heard) the police & fire truck were already heading there. We are not sure if there was a connection between the fire & the meteor (fireball) sighting earlier? It was exciting to see though, knowing that it is a once in a lifetime event! |
