Hello Listers, This is exciting news about the 1.11.11 fire ball sighting. Now I wonder has any listers been able to determine the time of the fall. I have read 8:50pm and also 8:30pm and the reports at AMS range from 8:30 to 9:00 pm. Also the sightings are all over the board from 6 different states. From what I can gather is that the fire ball moved from a SE to NW and people in NC heard a boom. Now I have never seen a fire ball so I am not sure how they look in the sky and move, but for it to be heard in NC from some reports I have to assume the more in the eastern side of the sky when this event took place the other night? I hope in the next few days we can get some reports from people that heard the boom and state their location. All I have read in some blog posts is that they heard a boom, but they forgot to tell the time and their location. I wondering if a meteorite comes from this fireball, how far would the meteorite be from the boom of the fall?
