| Remarks | Looked like smoke trailing. As it went almost directly overhead, the smoke trail was from straight above to horizon (which is a hill) so it was about a 60 to 70 degree arc. Summery--it seemed to come from the southeast and was almost straight above as it travelled to northwest. It was the brightest fireball I've ever seen. It was brighter than the fireball that passed over Columbia, SC (spring 2016--I think it was). |
