Hi Mike,

I think you mean *daytime* fireball -- this was at 12:45 pm EST. So all
the more impressive that it was spotted in broad daylight.

Best,
Rob

Thanks for sending this out Phil.

There have been over 20 reports to the AMS in the last hour about this.

That is a lot of reports in a short amount of time for a night time
fireball, so it must have been pretty significant.

I ran a quick plot on the AMS reports and it doesn't look good:
