Possible North Texas Daylight Meteor Fireball 07DEC2011

Email From:

Kristy J.-Richardson, TX-11:50 A.M. CST:
Driving south on Waterford and  Synergy Park Blvd. area of Richardson, TX, I spotted a meteor streaking through the sky. It was headed just to the southeast. Then it broke into two parts with one seeming to drop straight down, while the other continued until out of sight. The meteors had short white tails, fanned out at the end. The streak was much like a jet airplane leaves, only much shorter and slightly fanned out at the end of the tail.  Did anyone else see this?  Thanks Kristy! So this event occured in broad daylight? Great catch!

READERS...If you witnessed this apparent daylight fireball over N Texas, Please submit your sighting descriptions to wxtx01@gmail.com for confirmation. THANK YOU!

Reagan R.- Lufkin, TX
10/1/2011 at 8:25 a.m., south of Diboll and north of Corrigan, TX.  Sighted while driving south on Highway 59. Bluish white with a slight green with distinct tail moving east to west. Became visible a little before the 11 o'clock position and began to diminish by the 2 o'clock position.  Tail began to diminish and object seemed to give off or break into orange pieces and disappear.  If anything made it to the ground it would most likely be in heavily forested area.  Not having witnessed anything in the daytime like this before (nor any at night that were anywhere near this big or bright) it seemed very low in the sky.  Not being more experienced at estimating these things it seemed to be only a few thousand feet away and was extremely bright. Witnessed by myself, my wife and couple in vehicle following us.



W.P.-Southwest LA 8:00-9:00am CDT
I saw an orange fireball with a long tailed, bright blue streak traveling through the sky, from east to west.  Just before, it passed from my range of vision, over the horizon, it broke into two parts.  Each part became an individual fireball and both appeared to burn out during their descension.  I was facing southwest, alone in my deer stand, when I initially saw the fireball appear in the west.

ADDITIONAL REPORTS NEEDED ON THIS DAYLIGHT EVENT !!!

Email From:

Stan B.-Minot, ND:
At approx 4:30 PM this afternoon, a fireball/meteor fell straight down east or northeast of Minot, ND, at least from my position it went straight down. I was 2-2 1/2 miles north of the Glenburn corner on highway 83 this afternoon when this ‘meteor’ fell to the south southeast of my position, maybe to the east 10 degrees of due south. If it would have been at night I believe it would have brightened up the sky and the ground for miles around the impact. Stan B.

Zana M.-Spearfish, SD:
At about 3:20 PM MST Today 9/21/11 I saw what appeared to be a green blaze shooting down across the sky. Out of the NE. It looked relitively close. Seemed as if it would crash some where near...although it was probably a million miles away! I have never seen something like that. It was a vivid neon green. Only lasted a few seconds. Very weird. Kind of eerie in a way. What was that?

Brandon M.-Broken Bow, NE:

Daytime Meteor:

Witnessed Bright Green/White Meteor Tail at 4:27PM CDT.

Sighted from 10 Miles North of Broken Bow, NE.

Sighted about 30 degrees above the horizon facing north

10-15 deg west from true north

Object was on a NNW trajectory

Paul A.-Unknown Location:
I was driving West yesterday Sept 22,2011 about 4:30 pm CDT when I saw a bright greenish fireball (falling star) in the Western sky..right above the road. Looked as though it would fall on the road but burned out before it got all the way down. Lasted only a moment. Unusual for daytime to see things like that.

P. Monaco-Alliance, NE:
Was driving south of Alliance, NE about 3:30pm on 9/22/11 and witnessed a bright green object (fireball) with large tail coming from a NE direction which broke up before hitting the ground.  Was very bright for this time of day.

Anonymous Reporter:
At about 425 pm I was driving south on highway 83 at about mile marker 99 (north of Bismarck) and I saw a large bright meteor type object falling very fast., it was a little off to the right of what would otherwise have been straight ahead of me. (I figure it to be at about 00:30 from the highway if the highway in front of me was considered 12:00) I heard on KFYR radio that a several people from around the state saw it. I wish I would have had time to take a picture. It seemed kind of odd because it was so very visible in broad daylight. It happened so fast I did not even have time to pull over or even so much as slow down my car. It was falling straight down with a significant bright tail. The burning head was much thicker than the tail. It must be deceiving as to how far away it was because it looked kind of close to me. Other witnesses said on the radio that they thought it was as far away as South Dakota. It was really odd. I did actually say out loud “whoa baby” as I continued to drive in the general direction of where I thought the meteor like object had likely impacted. I actually thought I would see a related fire on the side of the road. At that moment I thought there was a slight possibility of seeing a related mushroom cloud, or experience a related blast of shock wave air. Oh well. It was kind of an interesting moment.

From Duluth News Tribune:

After Saturday’s Eh? column reported someone seeing a “large object with flames coming from the back of it” over Lake County about 5:20 p.m. Aug. 27, several readers called and e-mailed with their observations.
Rita O’Connell said she and her mother, Millicent O’Connell, saw it about 5:23 p.m. when they were at the Moose Lake exit on Interstate 35. “In the sky high in front of us, about due north, we saw a flaming object falling at about an 80 degree angle from high left to lower right,” she wrote.
Robert LaCosse said he saw it in the eastern sky while sailing in the Apostle Islands area.
Callers reported seeing it from Cook County on Caribou Trail about eight miles in from Lutsen; while driving eastbound on Minnesota Highway 210; and while driving north on Woodland Avenue in Duluth.
Jim Graham said he was one of six people on a pontoon boat on Birch Lake, and five of them saw it. “My father-in-law almost knocked me off the captain’s chair, he hit me so hard,” Graham said.
“It was just awesome,” another caller said. “Just the brightest light in the sky I’ve ever seen.”

Email From:

William K.-North Of L.A.:

Hi, I live in Monrovia in the San Gabriel Valley northeast of the Los Angeles metro area.  Today walking home I saw a fireball headed due west at approximately 7:30 pm.  It was very large, and my first thought was the shuttle landing, or some space station debris.  It had a long tail like a comet with a very distinct head, but I really couldn't tell how fast it was traveling because I only saw it through the trees.  I think it was pretty fast because when I put the groceries away and came back outside, it was gone. I saw it at less than 45 deg from the horizon, so I missed most of it. Any info would be appreciated, I hope it wasn't important space debris.  Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Bill K.   thank you Bill...checking with additional sources for possible video. OTHERS ?? Please report HERE

Senaida S.- L.A. Freeway I-5:
As my family and I were driving last night on California  I-5 north towards the Antelope Valley Freeway I-14 @ around 10:30 pm. We saw a  huge bright green streak of light with a white tail almost like a shooting star but bigger! It was on our right hand side. I believe it was headed East to West or North to North West it was a little hard to tell on the freeway.Still don’t know what it was but it scared the Sh** out of us. Just wondering if anyone else saw the same thing and if anyone knows what it was.
Thanks!

My buddy and i were camping along highway 1 near Jenner on sunday night. It was a nice night, no light pollution. Could see the big dipper in the North West and Milkyway up above.
Saw a few falling stars , then was staring at the ground when i say all the ground around me light up, my friend grabbed me, I looked up and say the trail or a HUGE comet. Lookes like the end of a meteor that was burning up as it entered the atmosphere. I was so big and long, i saw the bight yellow orange light fade away and saw the smokey comet trail. It was shooting from North and ended south.A good two seconds long. I could hear it fizzing burning. Incredible!!! My friend and i couldn't get over it.
Before the huge on, I remember seeing a smaller on about 20min before that lit up the sky. This was on Very late at night August 7th. didnt have a watch on.

OKC Forward Scatter Radio Indicates Two Possibly Large Meteor Events...One Daytime Event...

by ELPALLSKY 05APR2011...
James Beauchamp of Oklahoma City, OK captured the following images on his forward scatter receiver April 1st, 2011. In the images, the burst of multi-colored data indicates increased radio signal reflections by fast moving objects, likely meteors. The April 1st hit is "the largest I've ever seen" says Beauchamp, an expert in his field. "This may have been a visible daylight event."
