I saw a big, bright, slow-moving fireball at about 5:35 AM this morning, low in the north-northwest, didn't flame-out until (apparently) very close to the ground. Moving west-to-east from my point of view, looks like any possible strewnfield would be close to I-15 anwhere between Bountiful and the Idaho border.
Really bright, and at least a quarter of a degree wide at maximum, vivid green. Lots of smaller chunks falling away as it broke-up.
I haven't seen a big one in a while so this one was welcome.
