Shawn, The event timestamp from the first video is 8:47 CST. I had estimated the time at my initial post of the event at 8:45 CST which was nearly correct. Please see my website I have added more video. At least 9 states saw the event and I still think that there were AT LEAST 2 bolides see in the Jackson at perhaps 3-10 minutes after the initial.
