As darkness fell the sky was fairly cloudy. It cleared up and prior to seeing the fireball I had noticed how exceptionally clear the sky was and how the stars were shining. The fireball was witnessed by my friend and my son. We posted on social media about it. My friend's husband also saw it in a different location of my town and a friend of a friend also posted she saw it in Geneva, NY around the same time. 10 pm is an approximate time. But it was right around 10 pm. Thank you. Very exciting!
