Looked like it came about through Cetus. So started about SSE and finished just shy of due East and just about my horizon. Lasted about a good 4-5 seconds. Saw it clearly break up into at least 5 pieces. Was mostly the bright yellow/orange color with a small flash of green just as it was breaking up. Was a real treat to start a beautifully clear night of imaging. Oh and I'm located at about N40 degrees 40' and W 89 degrees 33' and was almost exactly at 7:30PM CST. Which is about 3 hours south of Chicago, Illinois, USA Post Extras:       NorthWolf scholastic sledgehammer Reged: 02/23/09 Loc: Montreal Suburb, Canada Re: Nice fireball breaking apart in the East [Re: nmoushon]       #5595225 - 12/29/12 10:14 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Always nice to see those when outside and observing, remember seeing some!
