Again, this kind of velocity is indicative of cometary material...very soft.

  Hi everyone, I just saw a very nice
large fireball  Anyone else? There might be some reports from further
west, Phoenix, payson etc.

  Not that one, but here in Pennsylvania, last night at 1:02 AM  I saw
one AZ 340° while driving north  on I 476, 2 miles south of the
Lansdale exit   I hadn't had the time to file a full report. The angle
was between 60-70°, fast mover, green tint.

Makes me wonder if we aren't in a long peroid, hitherto unknown, very
wide stream of asteroidal debris.  The fireball count has sure been up
lately.
