I wonder if this is what I saw tonight.
I live in Longview, Washington.
About 11:10 pm I was facing Arcturus.
About 3 finger widths to the left I saw a fire ball with a HUGE streak. It was visable for about 3.5 seconds.
Whatever it was, I was thrilled to see it.

Hi,

My name is Ruben Garcia and I am a professional meteorite hunter in Arizona. We are attempting to triangulate the meteor and would like to talk with you about where you were when you took the picture. We already have 1 video but need at least 2 more sources. Please take a look at my website to see articles, videos, and pictures of us in the act- as we hunt for meteorites all over the USA.

Please email me at [XXXXXXX] or call me at [XXX XXX XXXX]

Magnificent shot! That one is one in a million.

Im afraid I’m not much of an astronomer – which way is north in this image, and is it E-W reversed as a consequence of looking up?

Congrats on a beautiful piece of work! You can see the individual fragments separating from each other in flight.

Hello, could you please let me know your location? The andromeda galaxy in the image would be a great reference point for the exact trajectory of the meteor given the location of your camera.

Thanks, Kevin (Fallston MD)

WTG, Hankey!

Brilliant shot! Hey I saw you on the news last night, very cool. Should be the first of many more interviews to come. I’ve included a link of your interview on Baltimore’s WJZ News channel 13.
