| Remarks | This was by far the largest meteor I have seen. I was driving west on US Route 30 and I first spotted it in the top of the windshield as it traveled overhead, toward the north west. There was fragmentation while streaking across the sky but the fireball was very symmetrical, light in Color and flashed like lightning. |
