I've received a number of reports stretching from Myrtle Beach, SC in the 
south to Washington DC in the north. I normally collect reports from 
Colorado and the surrounding states; only very large fireballs generate 
multiple reports to my site from outside this area.

All,

   Reports are coming in that a large orange blue very bright fireball seen
in Northern Virginia. Observers saw it track to the north while others saw
it to the south which means it passed overhead in our geographical vicinity.
One observer heard a hissing sound - no detonations were reported.

  Any other reports?
