In the last 24 hours the AMS [1] has received confirmed reports about 4 unique fireball events all occurring near 4:00 AM UTC time [2]. The most recent event occurred in Arkansas [3] and Missouri [4] on May 19th near 3:37 UTC. At the same time 3:37 UTC 4 witnesses reported a fireball in Arizona [5]. The distance between these two locations would inhibit witnesses from observing the same fireball from both locations. On May 18th two large fireball meteors [6] were also spotted within an hour of each other, one over the central east coast and another in Colorado [7]. Below is a table of the events in question.
