Last night around 11:30 pm or so I saw a pretty nice sized fireball outside in my front yard.
It traveled in a NNW direction.
Pretty nice sized, it lit up the sky for about 3-5 seconds with a nice flare up in the middle of that time.
Color was a greenish/blue to white.
No doubt was a meteorite, I saw it right in front of my eyes. Three others witnessed it in my area that I know of.
I live in North Carolina.
Anyone else see or hear about this?

Greg C.
