Occurred : 12/3/2014 20:30 (Entered as : 12/03/2014 20:30) Reported: 12/3/2014 6:00:42 PM 18:00 Posted: 12/5/2014 Location: Fort Detrick, MD Shape: Fireball Duration: Few seconds Characteristics: The object left a trail, The object emitted other objects, The object changed color
1 fireball broke into 2 fireballs. My wife and I were driving to our house on Fort Detrick when I noticed up in the sky a large extremely bright fireball. By the time I had said, "BABE, LOOK AT THAT ((deleted))!" it had already fizzled out of existence. 1 large fireball colored bright orange, red, and white seemed to break into 2 smaller fireballs and crashed straight down into what I believe are the Catoctin Mountains near Fort Detrick. I speculate that it was likely a large meteor breaking into two pieces or that a piece of space debris fell in the atmosphere and burned up as I heard no boom as we approached the house. Anyone else see this thing?
