Bright Northern CO Meteor Fireball 31MAR2011

E-mail From Michael Kornblatt: I was in Littleton, CO approx 6:05 am, Wadsworth Ave and US 285 (Hampden), facing North, Northeast and saw a very large, very bright mass of light headed almost straight down.  I saw it for 2 seconds, then it disappeared behind the morning cloud cover. The size and brightness were amazing! I wish I could have watched it longer!
Have a great day! Michael

From Daniel S. Near Boulder...Looks like the same event the others are reporting, though I would put the time a little later. Approx. 6 20 am. I was driving north on highway 93 towards Boulder, approx. near highway 128 junction. Meteor was seen to the north east at approx 30 degrees east. Elevation approx 35 degrees above horizion. It was VERY bright and maybe the apparent size of 0.5 inches or my fingernail. It was bright and appeared burning. I actually looked up looking for a plane or something to see if it had fallen off something. Daniel

Steve S. In Ft. Collins Writes...Saw it too, but my time was ~6:20 am, 3/31/2011.  Driving north on Taft Ave in Fort Collins, CO.  Very large (nickel-to quarter-sized) white light body falling almost vertical and rapidly, also north-northeast, roughly in direction of Cheyenne WY.  My view of horizon was obstructed so I couldn't see whether it disappeared behind or in front of clouds, but if behind it was a very long way off, because clouds appeared to be at least 40-50 miles away. Was expecting to see reports on news but nothing so far.  Steve S.

Kathleen B. In Berthoud...I was driving north on Hwy 287 west of Berthoud (between Longmont and Loveland) when at about 6:15 am I saw the brilliant fireball falling in the sky in the north/northeast. It disappeared behind a dark cloud bank across the northern horizon.  I was amazed and somewhat startled. I just had to report it to someone so I actually called the Loveland police dept. thinking that if it hit the ground, it would be a blazing fire perhaps on the eastern plains. I checked the news several times but found nothing mentioned so I finally reported the incident to 9 News. But still nothing has been said. I finally did a google search for “meteor northern Colorado” and found your write up this afternoon.  Wow, that was really spectacular!!! Kathleen

Texas Meteor Fireball Sighted 29MAR2011

Sean LeClaire In Frisco TX E-mail's...On 3/29/11 at around 10:30pm, I was in the backyard of our house in Frisco, TX taking the dogs out, when I saw what appeared to be a shooting star.
The object was round in shape and green in color and was below the low flying, thick clouds.  The object was heading southwest, which I verified with a compass.  The object resembled a "roman candle" firework ball.  It broke up and had what looked like glowing peices or sparks coming from it before it disintegrated. 
I stayed outside and looked all around to see if someone was shooting fireworks, but nothing else happened.  I quickly came inside and told my wife what I saw. thank you Sean!

Betty In Fort Worth Writes...I also saw this "green" fireball from our home in SW Fort Worth around the same time on March 29, 2011...I was doing the same thing as Sean, taking our dogs out. It was an awesome and beautiful sighting! I wasn't originally looking at the sky but the brightness and movement caught my eye. Not sure how much I missed, but I got to see several seconds of it. I was facing east, but agree that the meteor appeared to move in a southwest direction. I saw a similar event from Austin, TX several years ago, earlier in the evening, only dusk at the time. It was much larger and it lasted even longer. That was my first time to see a green one and had NO idea what it was....thought it was a satelite or rocket burning up at the time... BK in FW, TX.  thank you Betty, glad you saw at least some of it !

Radar And Observational Analysis From Dr. Marc Fries-23MAR2011 OKC Bolide

First my sincere thanks to Marc ( http://radarmeteorites.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/ok-24-mar-2011-0220-utc/ ) for staying awake as long as he could to download and analyse Doppler radar data within minutes of this bolide event into the wee hours of the morning. From that analysis, Dirk Ross of Tokyo, Japan ( Worldwide Meteor/Meteorite News ) , James Beauchamp ( OKC Sandia Sentinel Fireball Camera ), Kevin Palivec (Hawley TX Sandia Sentinel Fireball Camera) and myself gained confidence that a fall was possible, and were able to triangulate a very close potential fall location. While we truly won't know until searchers locate actual meteorites from this event, the invaluable eyewitness reports we received from YOU OUR READERS! were by far the single most important element in making our calculations. MAJOR KUDOS TO YOU, OUR READERS! Please accept our profound thanks on behalf of all of us. Please bookmark this site for continued updates and future reference. ELPALLSKY...

From Dr. Marc Fries...OK 24 Mar 2011 0220 UTC
This large fireball was seen by a large number of eyewitnesses and recorded by a few all-sky cameras (I’m not sure how many).  This is a significant fireball, with an apparently ~flat trajectory and low velocity. Material is clearly seen to spall off the end of the track, and overall there appears to be a high likelihood that meteorites reached the ground. Kudos go to Jim Gamble of El Paso Allsky (LINK) and Dirk Ross (LINK) who were both on top of it from the time of the event and have excellent compilations of data at the links posted above.
And this is fun – the meteor actually occurs behind a local meteorologist while he’s reporting the weather! (LINK)
My first look at radar data from this event focused near the OK-TX border west of OK City, where there wasn’t much to see. One single-pixel item shows up on three separate radars (KAMA, KFDR, KVNX) 10 km west of Butler, OK. All three radars record an altitude of about 18,000′ for this object. It is a real object, seen in the middle of nowhere on a near-cloudless night at about 0230 UTC, but otherwise there aren’t any other indications that this is related to the meteor event.
Rob Matson pointed out a series of radar returns that is a better candidate for a meteorite fall. Rob points out that this series of radar returns appears on the KFWS, KVNX radars, and I would also add that it is seen in data from the unfortunately-named KINX radar and KSRX as well. The returns follow a track from approximately 35.635401 N, -98.081465 W to 35.497839 N, -97.843624 W, which describes a ground track that is approximately 27 km long. Note that this is not corrected for winds...MORE

'A Professor, a President, and a Meteor: The Birth of American Science'


Yale professor's little-known story reveals crucial collision of scientific discovery and politics 
Cathryn J. Prince is the author of "A Professor, a President, and a Meteor: The Birth of American Science. "
When a fiery meteor crash in 1807 lit up the dark early-morning sky in Weston, Connecticut, it did more than startle the few farmers in the sleepy village—it sparked the curiosity of Benjamin Silliman, a young chemistry professor at nearby Yale College. His rigorous investigation of the incident sparked a chain of events that eventually brought the once-low standing of American science to sudden international prominence. And, by coincidence, it also embroiled Silliman in politics, pitting him against no less an adversary than President...MORE

Topeka, KS to Emporia, KS
We saw the meteor tonight on our drive from Topeka, KS to Emporia, KS. It was about 9:30pm or so I believe. It was an amazing sight! It was orange and yellow and then turned into a green color. It just looked like a fireball floating through the sky. -Cristina D

Mannford, Ok.
I saw this fireball/meteor tonight.  It was between 9:15-9:30 pm.  I live in Mannford, Oklahoma off of Highway 48 half way between highway 33 and highway 51.  My husband & I were taking our dog outside & we were actually watching a bat fly around our security light catching bugs.  I was looking off to the southwest 
& out of NO WHERE this big ball came across the sky.  I was yelling at my husband
to look because I was speechless.  To me, it look close to the size of a basketball & looked 
like the headlight of a car.  It was moving fast.  As soon as my husband turned around to see it 
it was turning a green color & then was gone.  It kind of had orange sparks coming off of it...
I was amazed & could not believe what I saw.  My husband researched to see if it was just us & 
ran across your website.  Hope this helps!!
Sincerely, Janet Blumer - Mannford, Ok.

Oklahoma City, OK
Found your website searching "meteor" oklahoma and the date,
We were driving on northwest expressway, a few miles away from the okc city limits out in the country at about nwexpwy and cimmeron road (where there are few lights and little traffic at night.)
Suddenly there were blue flashes around the car, I was driving and confused for a second as to where it was comming from, I looked out the drivers side window to see if there were a power outage making street lights flash, but then thought "what street lights?".
The girls in the car and I all said "what is that?" at the same time, the flashes were so bright.
As I leaned into the drivers side window to look out; another flash above caught my eye and I realized it was something on fire in the air.
This was the biggest thing Ive ever seen on fire flashing through the sky. I was driving my daughters friend to her house and she was in the seat behind me. So she saw the meteor too, and we both wondered if it might be a plane exploding.
My daughter was in the passenger seat and could only see the flashes, it light up the front glass and the south side glass of the car, plus the entire outside around.
We were driving towards the northwest on the highway, so the flashes were on the south side of the car, to see the meteor, I had to lean to the window and look up a little.
The trail behind the fireball looked like a comet. There were numerous firey peices, large ones that were red, white, and blue/white, in quite a distance behind it, and it lasted longer than any shooting star Ive ever seen.
There should definately be something that fell to the earth somewhere.( If this wasnt a plane or rocket exploding, it missed it's chance) it should at least be one of the biggest meteors around.
If you cant tell, we were a little shaken up, because it looked like something exploding in the sky, and the light of each explosion reaching all the way down to our car was unbelievable, it was a litte unnerving, alone in the dark with just two 15 year old girls, wondering if it might be a missle that was shot at oklahoma City.
We will book mark your page to see if someone turns in a video of this!
Thanks ,- Brenda O'Hern Six

Lavon, Texas
I went outside a bit after 9 in Lavon Texas. I'm not very good with directions but our house faces south I believe. Towards Wylie and Sachse. If I was indeed facing south then the bright white glow moved east to west. (left to right) it was amazing. I have seen meteor showers before living out in Waxahachie on dark nights away from city lights but this was incredible. It was not like any "shooting star" I have ever seen. It was low in the horizon and from my perspective as big as an orange. It was a brilliant white glow with a 4-6 inch tail that coned into a point like the fire discharging from a jet engine. I will probably never see anything like it again in my lifetime (with the exception of possible end of world in 2012 LOL) and am very grateful to have had that wonderful opportunity. -Nic

Dripping Springs, Texas 
We saw the green ball of light falling across the sky last night in Dripping Springs, Texas around 9:00ish. Thank you, -Lisa

Rockwall, Texas
I'm unable to attest to color but this meteor was very large and hung in the sky for a significant amount of time. It was as bright as or brighter than the North Star. I witnessed this from just south of Rockwall, Tx with almost zero light pollution at approximately 8:45, March 23, 2011
- David King

Lucas, Texas
I saw this last night…it was about 9:15 ish. We were driving on Ingram Lane going North, when I saw a VERY large, VERY bright light to the North West. It actually took me a second to figure out what I was looking at!
This is a rural area and I thought it might have been a helicopter search light or something. But just as I figured out what it was, it faded away. It was bright white with maybe a hint of green. It was about midway above the horizon and traveling north. I told my husband that I bet part of that thing landed somewhere! Hope this information helps and would love to know what you find out about it! Thank-you, -Donna Bradshaw

Fort Worth, Texas
Date of sighting: 03-23-2011. Time of sighting: around 8:30 pm cst
I am located on the west side of fort worth just outside loop 820 and just north of I-30. I was facing northwest and spotted the meteor just for a moment as it was nearing the ground and disappeared from my view behind the houses nearby. I could not judge distance or size although I was struck by the large size and bright green light. I took my compass out this morning and would estimate that it disappeared from view at a bearing of 310 degrees. It appeared to move left to right at a downward angle of approximately 30 degrees. It appeared round in shape with a bright green glow. The tail behind the ball was not long only about four or five times the width. Thanks, -Greg Richardson

35 from Waco to Fort Worth, Texas
I saw it falling from the sky while driving on 35 from Waco to Fort Worth, Texas.It was so dark but maybe in the area of the "skydive"field.East side of the highway.
It was amazing. March 23 ,2011 Time between 8;00 pm and 9:00pm The color was a firey yellow with a little green. At first it looked like fireworks falling down to earth. There was a tail of smaller sparkles as it arched down like an arrow followed the ball.It moved very fast.
I could not get my cell phone camera ready fast enough to photograph since I was driving. -Anon.



Mustang OK...
My son and I saw the fireball last night over our house in Mustang, OK. It started off looking like a shooting star, and I pointed it out to my son. but as it was heading NW to SE it turned from a whiteish green, to a bright orange fireball, and we could hear it crackle as it went overhead. I know this isn't much, but I hope it helps your pursuit.
Craig Boswell...thank you Craig!



Ponca City OK...
Per your web site request, I would like to report I saw the possible meteor Wednesday evening between 9: 20 and 9:30 PM. My location was in Ponca City, OK. located in Kay County, approximately 15 miles east of I-35 and about 20 miles south of the Oklahoma/Kansas border.
It was a bright green orb trailing what appeared to be minuet sparks and a glowing vapor trail. It was seen looking to the west, appearing from behind a tree at about the 10 or 11 o'clock position in the sky. It quickly moved in what appeared to to be a southeast trajectory and was only seen for a few seconds.
Perhaps this will be of some assistance in your research-Al Ritter... very much so! thanks.

Mar 24 2011, 8:36 PM
Guest917 (guest): I witnessed the meteor last night 7 miles west of Nocona, Texas near the Red River in north Texas. The object moved from the south to the north between 8:30-8:35pm the meteor was low on the horizon west of my location. Hope this helps!


Tom Radle writes...

Observed what looked like a large meteor in the NW sky at approximately 15 to 20 degrees elevation at around 9:15 on March 23.  The meteor had a distinct large “head’ and a small trailing tail that appeared like a sparkler.

David In Abilene TX writes...
We live in Abilene, Texas.  I didn't see it, but my wife did.  She was sitting on the porch and saw this Green Fireball come down from the sky at approx. 8:45pm (March 23, 2011).  She said it started about 30 degrees above the horizon looking NNW.  It traveled from West to East (Left to Right) in a downward slope and it lasted about 3-4 seconds.  She said the head was Green and Blue, but mostly Green.  She said the tail was Red and Yellow and looked like fire.  She said that as it fizzled out it looked like a piece broke off from it.
  I wished that I had seen it too.  It sounded like it was a beautiful and amazing firework from God.  I hope this report helps to identify where it actually hit.

Susie Floyd writes: Yes! I saw it. Everybody said i was just seeing things so i googled it and found this site.  It was about 9:15 pm wednesday 3/23/2011.  In burleson tx.

--- Denver, Colorado ~9pm MDT (different meteor event)
Saw a very bright meteor heading east toward yale and I-25 around 9pm not sure what time it was exactly. First time I seen one that was not overhead. Very bright just above the horizon. Couldn’t tell you how big it was Looked maybe from that distance size of a compact car or half the size of one Looked like it was going to strike within Colorado far east


If anyone else saw this meteor event please email. We need the time, the location (town) you were when you saw it, the start and end locations in the sky and the direction of travel of the meteor; thank you!

Guest506 (guest): I saw the meteorite from Little River South Carolina at approximatelly 7:30 PM on 3-22-2011 appearing in the northeast sky. It looked like a shooting star, but was totally visible in the daylight sky. It appeared a bright white, starting as a largest ball and fading to an arched tail.was surfing around 7:30 and saw a bright ball of light with a tail, fall across the sky.  it looked as if it was on fire, with flames bursting all around it!
 

I saw it in Wilmington NC

Mary Turner: I was traveling east on 40 just past Harrison Ave in Cary at 7:33 when I saw a big fireball. It was amazing because the sky wasn't yet dark. It appeared to be dropping straight down, and it was to the south of the highway. It seemed to flare up a few times and have a greenish tint. I almost thought I was seeing an emergency flare or firework, but realized it was too big. Amazing!
Longtime amateur astronomer Conrad Pope saw a brilliant meteor cross the sky last night around 7:30 PM from Wilmington. He also said he heard reports of folks seeing the object.  It was seen only about five minutes after sunset.
Conrad reports “I tracked it for over 80 degrees and about 8 seconds.  Medium speed with an intense blue head and about a 10 degree orange tail. Have not seen any images but the local TV stations and the paper have a shorts stories with some witness comments.  It was much brighter than the full moon and resembled magnesium burning.  Waited for a sonic boom but heard nothing.”

The morning was just starting. The morning scenary was between dark and dawn. There was an overcast sky with clouds. My husband also witnessed it from the city of Lynwood, Ca. We are about 10 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. It was bright green in color, it was crossing from west to east with a long tail. Just wanted to share with you that we witnessed. What was it? Thank you.

Monday morning about 6:45am I saw this green fire light fall briefly while sitting in my driveway.  I was facing North.  I immeditealy thougt it might be  fireworks, but it looked too big and bright to be that, besides it was very much daylight due to the time change.
 What do you think it was?

In the Fort Worth area, NE 820 area.. Facing east sitting talking to a friend then saw the object come from the South and streak across to theNorth.. From my point of view I say it was 30-40 percent angle of elevation from the horizon? Could me more but looked close! First meteor I've seen that close so estimation of size.. unknown. Color green, almost like a fluorescent or a bright lime green glow effect.. Long white/grayish tail.. Once again unknown estimation of length. Also saw bright orange debris fall off within the 2-3 seconds I saw it pass. Amazing to witness, never seen anything like it before. Looked so close me and my friend waited a bit to see if we could here the impact wherever it may have hit. Was going at a downward slope.. 30ish percent? didn't capture any media of the event since it was so quick and random but my friend as a witness can account for it too. Great report, thank you!
Email From R. Yohman...Green fireball sighted in Garland, TX at about 10:15 p.m. on March 12, 2011.  Facing east, I saw bright greenish blue ball that was larger than a full moon,  the leading edge was concave but the rest of it was round.  It was about 45 degrees from horizon, headed south to north in an arc.  I lost sight of it at about 30 degrees.   It was a spectacular sighting lasting only a few seconds.  Wow!! Thank you for your report
From Chris Pope In Austin TX...
Hi, my wife and I were driving home from downtown Austin last night and we were heading back on Central Texas Highway 360 and were heading north on 360 – my wife reckons at 360/Bee Caves when we saw it. It was brilliant white and we saw it clearly in the sky for several seconds falling from upper right in the sky to low left in the sky. My wife says she saw blue/green tinges but both of us agree it appeared to fiery, like a huge firework with a tail. It wasn’t just an ordinary point of light like a shooting star. Here’s the tweet I sent at 10:38 yesterday evening “Omg - just saw the most amazing shooting star driving down 360 ... 4 seconds long from right to left. Biggest shooting Star I've seen”
Keep me posted with more info please J Thank You Chris!

From Pat Carroll In Central TX...
At 2240 I was walking my dog in Mansfield Texas and saw a bright neon green light “just appear” in the sky.  I say this because I was looking at the stars on such a beautiful clear night and it was in my direct line of vision.  It was stationary for such a brief period of time, (1 second), then moved very fast from West to East direction.  When it shot off the fairly round green light “stretched” to a short bullet size and a bright white trail was left behind.  It did not go in a downward trajectory but seemed to stay even with the horizon then go slightly upward before the entire green light, including the white trail, was just gone with no evidence it had ever been there.  I heard no sound and saw no collision effects.  It was such an awesome sight that lasted about 3 to 4 seconds and I will never forget that green color that seemed to glow from deep inside and had a strange sense of illumination. 
Thanks for reading,  Pat Carroll  Thank You Pat! Great Report...
Email From Jay... My Wife and I were driving North/East and saw the Meteor heading from Right to left. It had a green flame behind it and the flame went out very fast. I didn't hear in bank or see it but if I to guess I would say it hit down somewhere near Decatur,TX or Graham, TX. Would be interested if you have any information.   Thanks,  Jay Thanks Jay!
From Robert In Rockwall, TX...
Around 10:30p saw slow traveling ball moving SE>NE linear across the horizon.
Began as a yellow to orange to red to green to blue then white before fading away. No trail, no sound, did not appear to fragment, just faded out. Appeared as more of a perfectly round orb then a meteor. This was witnessed by myself and 4 other persons. -Robert Thank you Robert!
Email From Samantha In Ft. Worth...We were traveling east bound on 183, about 10:30pm close to boomerjacks when we saw the green glow come from the south and go north..   :)  We were wondering if we were going crazy! It was green, very light green!! Thank you Samantha!
Email from Rolanda-Lufkin TX...
Saw the "meteor" Saturday night, I live in Lufkin, Texas. It was going north. It was bright like a shooting star, but with a green color that later turned into gold sparkles like a firework. I heard no sound, it just evaporated before our eyes. A friend and I debated whether it was a firework for a moment bc it seemed quite low @ the time. Very amazing. Thanks Rolanda!
From Debby Alcorn & Tracey W Prosper, TX
My daughter in law and I were sitting in the hot tub in Prosper Tx and we saw in the eastern sky streaking south to north a very bright ball that seemed to have 3 streaming blue “tails” that combined to be one bright blue tail. It seemed to last maybe 2-3 seconds. My husband and my grandson were outside for maybe 2 minutes and we all happened to be together for this event. Afterwards we were trying to determine a way to “measure” the size of the ball itself and there was an almost perfect half moon and we determined that the main bright ball was about 1/3 the size of the moon that was visible tonight. It was beautiful! My son died suddenly almost 3 years ago and his 6 yr old son, my grandson who was here, always says that Daddy is one of the stars shining on him, we told him this was probably Daddy telling him how happy he was that we are always all together but when the meteor was gone he didn’t like the idea that it “burned out” so we had to revise our story to him. We feel blessed to have seen this! Debby Alcorn Prosper, TX-Tracey W Frisco, TX  Wonderful Story. Thank you for the Report!
Hope, Carmine Tx 12 Mar 2011 10:30 pm CST
Saw a very cool meteor Sat night. It appeared as a yellow ball with a wide tail following. It began in the East and traveled North. I am not fantastic with directions but those with me seemed to think East to North was the direction. It moved much more slowly than a shooting star. Very interesting. We did not notice any color other than yellow. The fireball and tail appeared very bright and was an amazing sight!  Thanks Hope
From M.J. Garza DFW Approx. 10:30pm cst.
Heading East on State Hwy. 114, a few miles East of IH-35 (East of the Texas Motorplex Speedway).  I believe we were in, or approaching, the town of Roanoke.
A bright, almost florescent, green ball (with a tail trailing) was seen directly over Hwy. 114, going from South to North direction. It was quite close to the ground; appeared to only be a couple to a few hundred yards away (but it may have seemed so close, because it looked so large). The light only lasted for about 2 to 5 seconds, before disappearing.
The sky was clear in places, but was also cloudy with very low lying clouds.  The green light was seen where the clouds were. Sorry, no video; the event happened too fast.  We assumed it was a meteor that had to have hit the ground, since it was so low, and that the clouds gave the effect of the green light.  We were driving in our car, with the radio on, so didn’t hear anything either.  Thank you M.J.
From Michael Elliott Austin, TX
I was downtown Austin (east 6th St. at Liberty Bar to be exact) facing
North/NorthEast. Looking to the side of a friend's face my eyes were drawn up above the roof in the back 'yard' of the bar. It was moving Right to Left, and not really dropping
too much. Big green ball, and first glance it caught my attention that I was not seeing a
plane light correctly.Then it registered that the pattern was like a satellite
or meteor... but less fleeting than a usual shooting star high in the sky. There
was a bit of orange streaming behind it, but really the green/blue ball was what
caught my eye. Excited that I wasn't the only one.
-Mike  Thanks Michael

Email From Emily F. Union Bay B.C...My boyfriend and I live in Union Bay, BC (near Comox) and we also saw, felt and heard something early this morning sometime between 12:00 and 12:30 am (forgot to check the time).
We were inside our house when we saw a bright white light flash outside, followed a couple of seconds later by a loud cracking, explosive sound and felt the house shake. That sound was followed by a loud roaring kind of sound that seemed to travel from the west to the east.
We ran outside onto our front porch and could still hear the roaring sound but didn't see anything else. We also heard a motion detector alarm go off from another house down the hill from us.At first we thought it was lightning, but the sound that followed was definitely not thunder. If you have any other information about this or links please send them on. Very curious to what this was. Thanks, Emily F.
