At approx. 7:53 p.m. (20 minutes ago) I saw a small bolide SE of Tucson,?traveling in a southerly direction.? It was maybe 20 degrees above the horizon.? It was moving somewhat fast.

Anybody else see it??

I was? just answering my cell phone, and the first words my brother said was that he just saw an huge meteor.? He was at I-10 & Palo Verde.? I told him I just saw it too - in fact it was still going when we started speaking.? It was green in color and broke up into 2 or 3 pieces.? Hopefully someone else has seen or heard it.? So start checking for reports folks!? I wonder if it was caught by Doppler or the all sky camera network...
