Howdy ladies and gents

	On 14 Aug, there was a bright daytime meteor around noon, and seen across parts of AR, TN, MS and LA.  There was some confusion in the eyewitness reports as many of them reported an incorrect time of midnight as opposed to noon. Eyewitness accounts featuring sonic booms have now surfaced, to include a report of broken window glass.  The fireball terminus was in NW Mississippi over ground that appears to be mostly farmland and some forest.
	Radar signatures are not as prominent as those seen in "large" falls like West, TX or Mifflin, WI.  There are a few small signatures that are seen in multiple radars.  It is unclear at this point if large meteorites reached the ground, however.
