Yes Mark that would be the time I was trying to describe, 7:45 local time. I posted right away within 3 minutes of seeing it.

Erik,
Do you mean 7:45 pm local time? About 10 minutes before your post?
Very exciting - hopefully someone caught this one on camera!
Thanks,
Mark

Hi list.
I just went for a quick lap around my apartments at McClintock and University here in Tempe. I started at approx 7:45pm GMT and while I was running south I saw a vibrant green fireball streak, break up and then it went
dark. Unfortunately I wasn't close enough to hear a sonic boom but I did hear a very soft pop like a bottle rocket far away. It appeared to be 25 degrees West of South and was about 20-30 degrees from the horizon. It's was moving fairly slow so I assume it was far south. Can someone check Doppler? It must have had a better sighting further South like in Casa Grande or Tucson.
