FWIW, I was imaging that night making 30 second exposures of an assigned minor planet every minute. 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@hotmail.com> wrote:
I saw it as I was driving NE on I-80 just outside of Stansbury Park. It was bright green; appeared to be breaking up as it traveled across the sky; and appeared to be moving fairly slow. It vanished abruptly. I heard no sound. It was low in the sky. It was cool to see.Nate S.

At approx 10pm on 20 March, there were two reports of a fireball/bolide to the east of SLC, going from North to South, low in the sky with a burst at the end. Lasted for several seconds. No sounds heard. Did anyone on the list happen to see it? Thanks, -Barrett
