Anyone see it at 635pm in the ese sky from Waterbury. Bright blue flash going what appeared to be straight down. Just want to point out it was no ordinary meteor nor was it an unbelievable fireball but in my 35 years in VT I’ve only seen something like it once before

Edit: not the only one https://fireball.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_view/browse_reports?event=PENDING

I’m in Storrs, CT and saw it. Looked like a Roman candle - so cool!

Meteorites that are high in magnesium burn green in the atmosphere. :)

I’m just guessing it went into the ocean sadly, according to all the reports, I was hoping someone in Maine would say holy shit meteorite hit my house. It’s funny I just saw a post on historyporn of some girl who had one hit her newly purchased 10 yr old car and some dude paid her a ton more just have that car
