Thanks Mike H - kind of all over the place, but still consistent with
post [5]. Really sorry you missed this one, hurry back ;-). The image
actually shows the bolide illuminating a cloud .... way the heck from
North Carolina, through Virgina/WVA to Maryland!

Kindest wishes and signing off -
sorry for all the posts to those who don't get an adrenaline rush out
 from a candidate fall, but this one feels like a tarpon's on the line
... and the places don't look bad to hunt, lots of woodlandish and
parkish stuff, some fields sparse population
Doug

Doug, I'm in Europe now and missed this. There were a few reports from
ontario
so this may have been caught on the uwo fireball network. Heres a map
of the ams
reports:

Try contacting uwo and see if they caught it.

morning folks
throughout Western Maryland awoke to a sonic boom created by a
meteorite that
moved through the area. 12 calls were made to Allegany County 9-1-1
beginning at
about 4:22 am from Frostburg to Oldtown. Callers reported hearing a
loud boom
and seeing a blue or green light flashing through the sky. County 9-1-1
officials from around West Virginia claimed they received calls about
feeling
the sonic boom from Carpendale, Capn Bridge and Wardensville. Early
reports are
that the meteorite may have allegedly crashed somewhere in Virginia.
But
Virginia Emergency Management officials say they have had no meteorite
reports.
NASA officials have been unable to confirm the reports at this point.
