Remarks Was driving on 322 east and saw a bright blue flash which streaked down the sky very fast and left a short tail behind it. It was beginning to break up as it left my field of view. The fragments glowed briefly a red/orange color before cooling off. I immediately rolled down my window hoping to hear a sonic boom but did not get that lucky. If I were to guess I'd say it ended up in Eastern PA.
