Description
I wanted to paint my rendition of the fireball I witnessed at 10:30pm EDT, August 29, 2015. I was looking North towards the Big Dipper when this object streaked down right in front of my eyes heading towards Plymouth Bay! It was over in a flash, about 2 seconds max. I reported my sighting the next day to the American Meteor Society at www.amsmeteors.org/fireballs where they gave it Fireball #70595
Report 2087b - 2015

OBSERVER
Name Jean R
Exp. 3/5
Remarks I knew it was a once in a lifetime observation although I saw one similar about 35 years ago in almost the same location but I heard it sizzle and it lasted longer and was more intense.
