fireball

[auntie]

I just saw what I thought was a shooting star, then it just "flashed" in the sky like fireworks! Was it a fireball? How do I find out if anyone else reported seeing it?<br />I did not hear anything - just happened to look up and see it streak and then flash!<br />

Did it look like this?<br /><br />http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap031001.html<br /><br />or like this?<br /><br />http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap991202.html

It looked more like the second one...but it was more of a flash - more like a firework overhead than a streak. I know this probablly doesn't make sense...but that's what I saw.<br />Thanks for replying!

So. . . what did I see?<br />Are there any other reports of the same thing? Where would I find out?<br />Thank you!

Probably a pretty small meteor my guess if looked like 2nd one, but only smaller and shorter.
