Email From:
Lannie R.-Morrison, TN-5:29 P.M. CST:
seen what looked like a bottle rocket shooting across the sky from south to north, at about 40 deg. above horizon,  looking east.  at  approx. 35.5739  -85.93 ,at 5:29 pm cat. there were 3 or 4 aircraft lights blinking in the same area of space. Just wondering what it was.  I see 1or 2 green fire balls in the same area every year but they usually go from north east to south west. Just saying :)
' Thanks

UPDATE...NASA Projects Debris Field for 06APR2011 Tennessee Fireball Bolide

NASA Meteoroid Environment Office-Marshall Space Flight Center-Huntsville...has released a map of the projected meteorite debris field/impact zone from the April 6th meteor fireball event over Tennessee.

NASA MEO Director Bill Cooke cautions "bear in mind that we lost track of the meteor fairly high up, before it underwent significant deceleration. Therefore this is a rough estimate only, pinpointing a general  impact area".

NASA emphasizes that "hunters should respect the wishes of the property holders".

Email from Bill Butler NE Alabama...
I am a fifty eight year old man who lives on Keel Mountain (Jackson County)
in Northeast Alabama. Sometime around 8:30 last night I took my dog out for
her nightly walk and in the east northeast horizon I saw a large extremely
bright light that had a rather short very bright tail. As soon as I saw it
and because of its size and brightness I thought it was either a meteorite
or large space junk. Bill Butler
