Date: May 4th, 2009Fireball Sighting %cats=Fireball Reports
Time Of Sighting: 22:35
Report: I was just leaving work and speaking with a co-worker, when I noticed the meteor in the night. There was light overcast, and at first I thought I saw a bug in the parking lot lights, but when I looked up I saw it trailing in the night sky. My altitude was a guess as I am not a pilot or an aeronautical expert. To my eye, it was the size of a golfball with a heavy white shine and glow.
