A  BRIGHT (-8+ magnitude) greenish-white fireball was seen in the SE from
Central VA at 8:55 pm EDT. There w two terminal bursts (no sound)  at the
end of flight that probably resulted in meteorites on the ground or in the
Atlantic. The fireball passed below Mars and was heading in a diagonal
downward direction to the horizon.I'll gather more details for my official
report.

Please tell anyone who saw it to report their observations to American
Meteor Society. <http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireballs/>

I'd appreciate any reports as well.
