My husband and I were watching together the orioneids and saw the bright short and quick fireball in the low eastern sky. It looked like it was right over ATW. The terminal flash was bright like the flash of a camera. It seemed to get fatter/wider as it dropped almost vertically with a slight tilt to the north as it dropped. I hope others saw it too, it was beautiful and felt close by.
