    It's great to have an experienced observer witness a fireball!  If this was more
    like 60 degrees off the horizon then it fits perfectly with being a leonid.  But
    maybe it wasn't.  It would be appreciated if you would fill out an observation report at:
    
    
    http://www.namnmeteors.org/fireball/report.html
    
    And any other seesat people who see a fireball who live in north america, please use this as well.
    For people in the rest of the world, go to http://www.imo.net but their DNS entry doesn't
    work right now (went down last year this time also!).
