Central FL Gulf Coast Green Meteor Fireball 27APR2011...

Email From Chris Thomas-South Of Gainsville, FL:

Well, I did some searching to see if someone else saw what I did.

I’m glad to be able to substantiate the email from Griffin W and what he saw when north of Gainesville.  As I recall it was about 10 PM. I was parked in a Lutz neighborhood (90 min south of Gainesville)  I was looking nearly due North and saw the meteor first travel from the West to the East.   I found the whole thing unusual, it was falling very slowly or maybe meteors are slower than shooting stars?  I now suspect it was as close to me as it originally appeared considering where Griffin saw it from.  It was massive, and clearly burning and sparking.  A perfect comparison would be like a glittering round from a roman candle firework.  I recall seeing little of the tail but found it also unusual that just as it dipped into the tree line during the 2 second event the sky flashed green before I would estimate it made impact.  The flash wasn’t brilliant but reminiscent of when a power pole transformer explodes in the distance.  There was no sound.  Thanks for this resource, hope my account helps.

Email From Val In Pinellas County FL:
It was around 11pm EST in pinellas county fl. I was driving and i saw through my windshield a HUGE falling star?? It was very low in the sky and very very bright with a definite tail. It appeared to be out of the north-northwest sky. I love to watch falling star showers but this was like none i have ever seen before. really cool!!!

Confirmation Email From Griffin W...I was driving South on I - 75 about 1/2 miles north of Gainesville Florida at about 10:50pm and saw a greenish, blueish fireball with a white tail falling from the sky. It came into my view in the top right of my wind shield (NE) and fell to the SW across my line of sight and the burned out 30 degrees above the horizon. The whole thing lasted 1 - 1/2 seconds from start to finish. I guess this could have been the meteor reported in Sarasota (because that is the direction it was falling) but it seemed to be closer than that to where I was in Gainesville. Hope this helps.   thank you Griffin!

Meteor Fireball Colorado 22APR2011...

Comment From Anonymous...I was fishing at the Boulder Reservoir at around midnight I saw a large fireball approximately on the north shore of the reservoir. What is the meteorological term for what I saw? A meteor burning out in the atmosphere?   yes. If it was brighter than Venus it's called a fireball. If it appeared to fragment, a bolide. Thanks for reporting!


E-mail From Kirstie M.... Hi, I was driving home from the airport last night when I witnessed a huge fireball (white, yellow and blue) plummeting rapidly to the earth just W of I-25 and N of Highway 7. Pretty amazing, I've been trying to find information on it and my friend just sent this link. Obviously others saw it because there was plenty of light traffic on I-25. Please let me know if you can find out anything else. Thanks,   thank you Kirstie! Likely a bright Lyrid Meteor (annual Lyrid meteor shower currently underway)


E-mail From Tim H...Tonight at 11:45  driving north on I 25 near Ft. collins, CO I saw a meteor streak down from south to north extremely fast and brilliant green.


Leonard D. Writes...I saw an extremely bright/white fireball at 11:39 p.m. on April 22, traveling in north direction from up here at 9,000 feet in the Wondervu/Coal Creek area.

E-mail From Chase C. In Iowa...Hello I just found you website and I'm glad I did because I had no idea what I had seen.  I was traveling on I-80 west bound at 8:45 pm right outside Altoona Iowa.  I was moving at 70 mph when I saw a very bright ball almost like a Roman Candle in the sky traveling from right to left, it passed right into my vision at the top left of my windshield and continued right underneath the cloud cover and a very high rate of speed.  It was not very far above the horizon and was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in the sky.  Almost the color of a sparkler or firework kind of bright blueish color.  It moved right over the city of Altoona before the light went out with only a very very small vapor trail to be seen behind it.   I heard no sound as my windows were up and the radio was on.   What a site to see.

Apr 22 2011, 4:20 PM

Guest362 (guest): On 4/20/11 at about 8:45pm in Andover Kansas - I saw a bright green streak in the sky. I was looking almost due North. It traveled from west to east in the sky.


From Emily A, Raytown, MO...Oh man... I'm so glad I found your site.  I was so perplexed by what I saw!  On the night of the 20th, sometime between 8:50-9:00pm, I saw a flaming ball go across the sky heading west-ish (I am terrible with direction, so that is a guess).  I saw it burning orange, blue, and greenish, with a sparking/sparkling tail.  I only got to see it for a few seconds.  I live in an apartment complex and lost visual as it passed behind another building.  I live in Kansas City, MO, near the Raytown area.  At first I thought it was a firework or a flare, but there was no pop (like a firework) and it's tragectory was straight and angled slightly downward, not arched like it would have been if it were something launched from the ground.  The best I could figure was that it was a meteor, but I'm so glad to have that confirmed.  How cool!!    glad you found us Emily and thanks for your report!

Jeff Fortney-Lee's Summit, MO I also saw the meteor/comet around 8:50 PM on April 20, 2011. It was green, orange and white with streaks of fire/sparks falling off the tail. Heading NE to SW very quickly. It burnt out as it approached the horizin. Very beautiful.   thanks Jeff!

John C. Writes...I saw this from Kansas City.  Biggest, longest that I have ever seen (and I'm not young).  Time: 8:47 pm.  Northwest sky heading ffrom NE to SW.  Had a green tint. thank you John!


Email From Amy M....We saw the meteor last night from New London Iowa at around 8:45pm. My family and I were driving home, heading south, and stopped the car so we could all witness the huge bright green burning ball falling in the western sky. It was nothing any of us had ever seen. Very awesome! I had to come into work this morning and google it to see if anyone else had seen the awesome sight we were so lucky to see!  thanks Amy!

Large Bright Meteor Fireball North Texas 18APR2011...Captured By 2 Sentinel Cameras...

From Chris C. N Of Ft. Worth...
At approximately 3:35AM CST I saw something shoot across the sky seeming very close!!!
I am no professional, but have watched all the major Eclipse's, Comets, and meteor showers in recent history. North of Fort Worth, Texas while having a smoke I saw what at first I thought was possibly a bottle rocket (because it was seemingly so close and so bright) shoot from about 315NW to 60NE according to my compass.
Location: 32.960554,- 97.277376
I quickly realized it was either a meteor/comet/shooting star due to it's speed and seemingly straight trajectory! It had a long white and yellow tail with a bit of red, and disappeared from my vision before I could stand up. I searched the web for any meteor showers or news on activity in the sky, and just found your site. I have seen many celestials Mass's streak across the sky, but none so close and so bright and clear as I have tonight. I thought for a split second it may even strike the earth!!! (again that's how near it seemed)
I heard no noise and can't think of what else to tell u to describe it.
Please let me know what u find out, it was truly an awesome experience.
