Ontario Canada Meteor Fireball 30JUL2011

From The ELPALLSKY Chatbox:
Jul 30 2011, 10:20 PM Ken Scheffler... Hamilton, Ontario. 
Slow moving meteor or debris moving west to east and to my south. Only caught a bit of it between a tree and my neighbour's house. I've watched dozens of meteor showers and seen many hundreds of meteors. This was a little different although not a fireball. Occurred c. 11:50 pm EST on July 30, 2011.
