| Name | Danny M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Sure, I have a video of this meteor/fireball. I am was working in a neighborhood when the fireball came down. After my "oh snap" reaction, I hit record on my in-car camera. The video is always recording and it started that recording a minute behind after I hit record. It captured more than 75% of the event, great video. The bright streak and the explosion of the fireball were all recorded. I now have the video in my possession. The fireball was either over Newark, DE, or more Northwest, in Elkton, MD. I had my car windows down and I waited patiently for a thunderous sound, which unfortunately, never came. |
