Well that's a heartbreaker! I was in the house during that time and came
back out at 2200 hrs. 2 or 3 more fairly accurate observations and we might
have been able to go out and find something. Maybe next time...(like that
happens every day :-\
Thank you,
Jimmy Ray

BUMP: I can't believe nobody else saw that fireball. Just before it
extinguished, I actually saw it pass through a cloud deck and reappear
briefly below. So it must have been pretty low, and maybe resulted in a
ground-fall. If it did, based on my (rough) estimate of the trajectory, that
would have happened somewhere in the far East Valley, maybe even east of
Apache Junction.
