MBIQ Indicates Cranston, RI Meteor Fireball 25OCT2011

Cranston, RI Meteor Fireball 9:30 pm 25OCT2011

At about 9:30 pm Eastern Time, on October 25, 2011, I observed a rather large blue/white fireball enter the sky and break apart as is fell closer to the ground. I live in Cranston, and it looked to be falling somewhere to the Northeast, possibly over Narragansett Bay in Providence. It was much larger and much brighter than an ordinary meteor that normally would not be seen in this area due to light pollution. From the size, color, and fragmenting I would say that it had to be a pretty substantial size upon entry, but whether any pieces remain is yet to be seen. -Maria
