This fireball was widely reported in KY, OH, and surrounding states with 112 eyewitnesses in the American Meteor Society page for the event. A single radar signature appears, featuring evidence of short-range turbulence in the Doppler velocity data. Radar coverage for this area is dense but the signature appears in only one radar, reducing the likelihood that this is a sizable meteorite fall. The single signature may also be spurious data, but it does appear very close to a cluster of sonic boom reports on the AMS event page which affords it some credence.
Evidence that this is a radar-observed meteorite fall is sketchy and the terrain is heavily wooded which diminishes the likelihood of recovery. This report is offered as evidence of a possible meteorite fall for informational purposes, but with low certainty that a recoverable meteorite fall has occurred.
