I was in Payson and I looked up just in time to see the end of it. It was
towards the southwest.

The preceded "sound" was not related. Once I was back out in the quite of
the observatory I was able to reproduce the sound inside my ears by simply
tensing up. So a startled reaction for sure (I must be getting old and jumpy
:-)
Thank you,

Hrs.
To All,
Just a few moments ago (19:34 hrs), a very bright, exploding bolide lit up
the inside of the observatory with a very white light as it traveled
straight overhead West to East. Not only was I startled by the brightness of
the light but also by a simultaneous "rustling or rumbling" sound that
occurred. I know that the sound could not have traveled to the ground that
fast if at all but strange all the same and may have been a coincidence or a
reflex of some sort caused by being startled. I happened to look up to see
the last couple of seconds as it exploded into many fragments which dimmed
quickly.
Anyone else see it?
Thank you,
Jimmy Ray
