Remarks I was in my car and didn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t think to roll down my windows.
Persistent train
Observation Yes
Duration 1.5s
Length
Remarks I was driving home from a basketball game when I saw it. I was in my driveway and saw the fireball appear and then disappear behind my house only a moment later noticing two flashes of light. This kinda leads me to believe it actually hit the ground. It was very bright. The trail was 5-7 degrees long, but I only got to see it for a moment so I don't know too many details. I just know it was bright unlike the typical meteorite.
Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks Like I mentioned before I saw two flashes of light behind my house, but the meteorite was out of view at this time. I\'m no expert on meteorites, but I do fly for the airlines and have seen many of them. I\'ve only seen 1 or 2 like this one before and it was pretty bright.
Fragmentation
Observation Unknown
