And… it was seen as far south as Tucson, so it was way up there and moving fast.
Something as small as baseball size could have made this flash and "boom". Too
early to determine where it went.

Good morning,
I jumped on this as soon as I woke up this morning. After seeing a few video
captures, I'm certain it was a meteor. MY expert also confirmed it.
I responded to Mr Crugnale's request for confirmation. No idea yet on where
this may have gone or even if any mass hit the earth. It's a rare instance
when something actually lands, so time will tell. I'm plugged into the
Meteorite community and will update all if I hear anything.
In addition, if anyone wants to escape the sweltering heat this weekend,
Suzanne and I will be selling at the Flagstaff Gem and Mineral show on Fri,
Sat and Sun. Come up and see us.

If any PAS members have an idea please discuss this today on our listserve.
Then,Kevin, if we get some responses from PAS members, especially you,
Suzanne and Mike, who are meteorite experts, please contact
james.crugnale@xxxxxxxxxxx with whatever the consensus is.
As Secretary of PAS it is best if you keep up your relations with the media
as spelled out in the new bylaws of PAS.
Thanks, Leah for forwarding the inquiry to our PAS members. I am not an
expert, but what about a bolide? What do people think? Sam

Dear Phoenix Astronomy Association,
Hi there, I'm a science editor at the Weather Channel and I'm emailing to
confirm that the mysterious bright light in the sky was a meteor.

Do you have more information about this sighting?
