| Remarks | It was overcast, and the fireball was bright fluctuating green glow moving overhead, appearing fully formed across the top of our windshield and fell behind a treeline and began to fragment. We lost it behind the ridge we just descended in our vehicle. It was moving North, fragmenting just East of Hot Springs Village. We were shook. |
