Found this on CN. Scroll down through the comments and you'll find one by Tyson himself, a humorous remark. This what you'd get if Tyson had ever visited Hunter S. Thompson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSHNyppwS5w

All on the western side of the meridian. Just for the heck of it I went back and looked at all of the images taken between 2145 and 2215 local time to see if maybe the fireball lit up the sky enough to register on my images. There were two events just after 2200 but nothing I would describe as something having "lit up the sky". patrick On 23 Mar 2014, at 23:24, nathan swenson <nathan_swenson(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > I saw it as I was driving NE on I-80 just outside of Stansbury Park.
