They advise: quote: If you've seen a "fireball" (very bright shooting star), you should report it immediately! Do not bother posting it over our 'meteorobs' list, but rather go directly to the International Meteor Organization's Fireball Form. There are probably many people who also saw your event: even though most fireballs appear to strike the ground "right over the next hill", they are actually generally seen at a very great distance from you (30-200 km). So expect many, many more people to see what you saw! You may contact NAMN to find out about these other reports.

I was inside my house looking out the west window. It's direction was direct downward trail from the WNW - NWN. I do not understand all of the terminology on that report to complete for seeing a meteor
