Which would be because this isn't a real METAR. Dead give aways are no ICAO
ID in the observation, the use of "P7SM" which is an aviation forecast term
for Vis 7 miles (actually P6SM is used), and the use of a comma and @ sign
in the remarks.

Thanks Charles,
It was my own observation in metar format. I used P7SM because vis was
over 7 but I could not be sure if it was 10SM. I saw the meteor (or
meteorite) fall, and explode at about 25 degrees above what would be
the horizon at 350 degrees or in the north-northwest just as I was
taking the obs from southeastern Naugatuck, CT near Rt. 63. Thanks and
take care, Lou
