Yesterday's daytime meteor has generated 230 AMS witness reports in a
little more than 24 hours making it the 2nd most AMS reported meteor
event of all time. There is still time to beat out the Wisconsin
Meteor of 2010, which holds the record at 323 total reports.

Here is an updated plot of the witness reports for yesterday's event.
