The best I ever saw was a huge Earth grazer about 17 years ago. A massive
fireball travelled from almost the western horizon and dissapeared over the
eastern. It seemed like it must have taken 30-60 seconds to do it. Imagine
the Trenton fireball at night and that's what it was like. I've never seen
anything like it since.

Cheers,

Jeff

I saw a really nice one on the way to the recent MAG meeting. I first
thought it was for 10 seconds, but more close to the time for me to tell my
wife "oh my god, look at that one!" then it went out.
I tried to find out more about it, but had no luck.
That was the biggest and brightest one I think I have ever seen. Kinda nice
early in the morning on the way to a meteorite meeting.
