A BRIGHT (-8+ magnitude) greenish-white fireball was seen in the SE from Central VA at 8:55 pm EDT. There w two terminal bursts (no sound) at the end of flight that probably resulted in meteorites on the ground or in the Atlantic. The fireball passed below Mars and was heading in a diagonal downward direction to the horizon.I'll gather more details for my official report.
Please tell anyone who saw it to report their observations to American Meteor Society. <http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireballs/> I'd appreciate any reports as well.
