Remarks	210726 Hi kids. It appears that programmers designed your questions. Let's start over. I was standing on a trailer preparing for a feeding. As I faced north, the ground and lower forage had a spot light illuminate them and move from north or north west to east or south east. There are trees..... the illumination was UNDER the trees to my right or east. I had some time to contemplate and look around to see if there was someone with a hunting spotlight etc. Then heard an explosion Northeast. I am well north of the one reported in the news. One presumes that since the light went below the trees and direction of travel, that there was another fragment that was traveling up here. If it was the same, the light would have been to my left and forward to the north one presumes. Repeat, I saw what the meteor illuminated not the fireball. Later the explosion.
