Thanks Erik!

Hard to believe that there are no reports (still) about this on the AMS site
, when hundreds of people saw it. All the local news channels were going
nuts!

Cheers!

Hi list.
I just went for a quick lap around my apartments at McClintock and
University here in Tempe. I started at approx 7:45pm GMT and while I was
running south I saw a vibrant green fireball streak, break up and then it
went dark. Unfortunately I wasn't close enough to hear a sonic boom but I
did hear a very soft pop like a bottle rocket far away. It appeared to be 25
degrees West of South and was about 20-30 degrees from the horizon. It's was
moving fairly slow so I assume it was far south. Can someone check Doppler?
It must have had a better sighting further South like in Casa Grande or
Tucson.
