Northeastern USA Fireball Sunday Morning 7/17/11

The American Meteor Society has received reports of a very bright fireball over the New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania area. It occurred a few minutes after 4am EDT on July 17th. Of the first half dozen reports received so far, no one could agree on the color. They all agree that it was very bright, exceeding the light of the full moon.
Summaries of these reports may be seen on the AMS website at:
http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball2/public.php?start_date=2011-01-01&end_date=2011-12-31 
Refer to event #682 for 2011. Note that this reference number could change slightly should we receive reports of events prior to this one.
