I got another Taurid Fireball (2 days shy of last years date of the Fireball seen and heard by many across the area). This was at 10:20pm ct... Anyone else see it?

Hey Brian -

Lora and I were driving home from a church event last night and we both saw it. Wow was it bright. It's not the brightest I've ever seen, but it was pretty bright (probably twice as bright as Jupiter) It's cool that you got it on video. Way to go!

We caught the ISS passing over earlier last night as well, so we had a doubly good night for catching transient phenomena.
