Anyone see the meteor?

Just saw that one blasted across the East coast on Wednesday around 2:30 AM. Burned up near West Virginia.
 
Heard about it but no hope of seeing it. Checked sky at 1:00AM, socked in.

A couple of years ago we had one in Michigan in the winter. I just happened to be looking out the kitchen window and saw it quite clearly even with the lights on. Then a loud boom could be heard. Awesome stuff; just don’t tell the dinosaurs I said that…!
 
Was out in the middle of the desert south of Sedona with wife the other night taking Milky Way pictures. As I was adjusting the tracker and Camera, wife was loudly asking, “did you see that?” No, I did not see the apparently spectacular meteor that she saw.

Life genuinely is what happens when you are making other plans. :cheers:
 
Most people refer to them as fireballs but they are technically Bolides.
There was one I clearly saw a few months ago.
It was about 20% the size of the moon traveling much slower than any meteor I have ever seen.
The path it traveled was North to South, and I think it was around the time of the Perseid shower.
Pretty amazing sight, even for someone constantly stargazing.
