Jarelle B.-Fredericksburg, Va:

Around 7pm me and my sons were walking back from the dump. Out of no where this small bright light appeared growing in size brighter and brighter. My sons 7 -5 asked if that star was about to blow. And then it just vanished. It lasted about 20 seconds. No other stars, just a full moon. Still a little day light actually. Knew it wasnt a plane though. I,d say the time was 7:06. Going North East.    thank you Jarelle!!

Another North Texas Meteor Fireball 10SEP2011 ~8:30-8:45 P.M. CDT

Email From:

Theresa W.-Sachse, TX:
I saw a huge fireball tonight in north Texas at about 8:30 p.m. It was bright, larger than a shooting star. It was clearly seen in Sachse, Texas.

Anita E.-Plano, TX:
Walking my dog at 8:42 pm when I say a shooting star. Strange to see something so bright fall so close to a city like Plano, Texas. Funny before I saw it I was thinking about me being out of work and when I used to teach.  I was musing about the lesson of gratitude and how I made each student keep a gratitude journal.  I had passed out little notebooks and pencils attached.  I asked them to keep it at their bedside and every night before the went to sleep to write three things they were grateful for that day. Sometimes nature works miracles in our lives.

Jim P.-Allen, TX:
At an Allen, TX restaurant last night and saw a very bright white fireball streaking across the sky around 8:39pm. It was extremely bright white with an orange tail trailing behind. The venue was loud so sound was impossible to discern. My wife and I both saw it and we looked around for confirmation from the others around us but no one appeared to have seen it. I called 911 to report it and was told no one else had called it in. I was facing north and the light was travelling in a north western direction as if it was falling to the earth it may have landed in McKinney. I've seen a meteorite while in Austin before and it turned up landing near the town of West, TX. If that holds true here then what we saw last night could have landed in OK

Greg-Longview, TX:
White falling star witnessed at 8:39pm. I was in my vehicle driving NNW on Loop 281 in Longview Texas near the Alpine St exit. There were no visible stars in the sky and this was very bright and appeared to be falling straight down north of town. Largest one I have ever witnessed.
 

Cherish F.-Plano/McKinney, TX:
Hello, I saw your blog this morning. I was searching google after seeing a bright blue streak in the night sky. My family and I were headed home from Plano,TX to McKinney,TX.

We were headed North on Hwy 75 Central Expressway. We had passed Parker Rd. and I believe that is when I first saw it. It was so bright and bluish. It left a long streak in its trail. I was dumbfounded! I have NEVER seen anything like it. My husband did not see it unfortunately. He didn't look in time. It was on the West side of the highway. It streaked from South to North. It was amazing to say the least and very impressive!

Hopefully this is helpful information! So glad to see others saw it!

Thanks, Cherish F.

Robert M.-Tyler, TX:

Driving north just north of Tyler, TX on Hwy 69, about 8:40 PM, though I didn't think to look at the clock at the time. Green fireball, flickering and small trail visible. Plummeting straight down from my perspective. Visible through the top left of my windshield for about 3-4 seconds. Could not tell if it burned out or disappeared behind the treeline. As an aside, this is the third similar fireball I've witnessed over the past month or so. First was in Longview, tx, early am about a month ago. Second was just after sunset at my home in Nacogdoches, tx about 2 weeks ago. Are these certainly meteors? I ask because I've never seen anything like them before now.

Suzanne-Unknown Location:

My husband and I also saw the large fireball. We were facing north, and the trajectory was to the west. Larger than any we've ever seen. It was approx 30 degrees above the horizon. Very startling.
YC Bell-Unknown Location:
I saw the falling star between 8:30 pm and 9pm Sept. 10, 2011.
It was by far the brightest meteor I have ever seen.  It continued to burn past my line of vision which was obstructed by a two story house directly behind my home. I would estimate that  if it would have landed it would be just north near the soil conservation site 3rd reservoir just east of Hardin in McKinney and south of Virginia - Unless it was just so bright that it appeared closer than it actually was.  Also we reasoned that if it actually landed, conditions are so dry that it would have started a grass fire which none happened near here. It was falling east to west.


Kandice D.-Livingston, TX:
Around 8:30 or 9:00 last night I was headed to livingston tx down highway 59 when a friend a I seen this strange rather large green blue light falling absolutely straight down and then disappear.. Any reports on what it could had been?


Jennifer H.-Plano, TX:
Yes I saw the same thing and I live in Plano. It was huge….

Green Nova Scotia, Canada Meteor Fireball 09SEP2011 ~10:55 P.M. ADT

Email From:

Angela R.-Middleton, Nova Scotia:
Saw a bright green fireball towards the Bay of Fundy, near Middleton Nova Scotia. It lasted maybe 3-5 seconds, was bright white at first then flared out in a bright green ball of fire.

Brian W.-Cutler, ME:
I too saw the meteor reported over Fundy Bay Sept 9 2011 from the Cutler Maine coast. I was on the deck marveling at the waves from passing storm Katia under the nearly full moonlight when I observed the meteor passing to the south west basically opposite the transatlantic route for aircraft. It was an intense green color and large in size compared to any other celestial objects I have ever witnessed. The time coincides with your mark. An exciting and marvelous sight indeed especially in conjunction with the crashing surf. I am glad to see someone else saw this rare spectacle. I did not hear any audible noise from this object but it certainly would have been drowned out by the surf.

South Carolina, North Carolina Large Meteor Fireball 08SEP2011

ADDITIONAL REPORTS NEEDED !!!...Large Widely Seen Meteor Fireball North Carolina 08SEP2011

Email From:

Eric K.-North Topsail/Surf City, NC:
Not sure if this was a "fireball" or not.   Kinda looked like fireworks that never exploded.  I was sitting on the beach right near the border between North Topsail and Surf City, NC.  Saw the "fireball" far in the distance out at sea.  Moved a lot slower than a shooting star..... was maybe yellow or orange, can't remember.  First thought is that it could be a flare..... Camp Lejeune is nearby and we see helicopters fly over all the time, but we didn't hear or see any sort of helicopters, and if it was a flare from a ship at ocean, we didn't see it go up in the first place.

Cody C.-Greenville NC:
I saw a green flaming object falling from the sky at 7.57 pm 9-8-11 , as far as  i know just me another person saw and we are located in greenville, north carolina

Wendy C.-Siler City, NC:

I saw this same "fireball" as Eric and Cody. In fact, I live in Apex, NC and was driving home from Siler City, NC.  At the EXACT SAME TIME that Cody saw it - about 7:57 pm, I was passing by Pittsboro on Hwy 64 and saw it in the sky out in front.  I knew it wasn't a plane because the lights were clustered together. It moved left to right across the sky slowly, so I didn't really think it was a meteor.  My first two thoughts were either a flare, or a helicopter that was farther away than I realized.  I could see a mixture of colors flashing and when I went beneath the old 64 overpass, for a moment, I could completely discern a single red light and a green light.  Then suddenly, it just began to drop from the sky straight down, trailing a green streak behind it and then literally disappeared from sight. I heard nothing, saw no smoke...nothing.  However, as I continued to move foward, I did see what appeared to be 2 helicopters coming in the distance and one using its spotlight as if it were looking for something. I even considered it could be a hot-air balloon crash somehow because we have so many of those in this area.

South Central Canada Fireball 10SEP2011

Email From:Gordo-Regina Saskatchewan, Canada:
 On the evening of Sept 10 2011,  we were sitting on deck, enjoying a small fire, watching the sky for aurora borealis, i heard the sun was going to be active , had binoculars to get a look. At about 10 pm In Regina Saskatchewan we were looking north and a large orange object appeared in the north east sky, it seemed to be flattened out but as it flew to the west it seemed more spherical,it took over a minute to move across sky, it was fu*** in huge, I've never seen anything like that before, then it just disappeared as quick as it  first appeared. I got a very good look at it with some very powerful binoculars. But it was so large , id say 1/3 of the size of the almost full moon that night, that binoculars werent really needed.  I hope some one else saw this event, if u did contact Gord M at spareboard1@hotmail.com

I saw a large bright light blue ball with pieces coming off. The object was heading south down Howe Sound at 500 to1000'. It was really quite something and I  looked everywhere to see if someone else has seen this but can't find anything. I just can't believe no one saw this the tail was like a sparkler, just awesome.

Email From:

Dustin W.-Houston, TX:
Sitting outside at 8:13 PM, facing North East.  I live in the southeast part of Houston, when a large bluish fireball went across the sky.  I was limited on observing where it started due to a carport I was sitting under, but it burned out at about 30 degrees above the horizon.  It appeared very close, and could see the particles falling off, burning out.

Kenneth W.-Clyde, TX:
On 9-7-11 @ 10:30ish My 14yr old son Dakota saw a large green fire ball out his bedroom window. It was about 30 deg. above the horizon. and about the size of a dime at arms length. He stated it was as bright as the full moon. It was traveling west to east at about 270 deg. to 100 deg.. It was partly cloudy here and he said it was be hind the clouds but that he could still see the light through the clouds. He said that it lasted about 5 seconds I was in another room in the house and did not here any noise or sonic booms. I was just wondering if maybe anybody else saw this. Thanks, Kenneth

Large Long Duration North Texas Meteor Fireball ~5:40 A.M. 04SEP2011

Email From:

Steve J.-Richardson, TX:
(I found your email address from goggling fireball sighting)
I was sitting out on my back patio cooling down from my morning jog. It's darker then heck outside at 5:40 in the morning.... My whole backyard lit up... It lit up so much I thought a police helicopter might be over head even though I didn't hear it...
My patio is covered so I had stand up and walk a couple feet to look into the sky. I looked to the east and could see the falling meteor... It did another explosion and I watched the trail of falling debris a bit longer. AND this is after seeing my whole backyard light up.
As I'm facing East - it went from right to left....(south to north)
It would be interesting to know if anyone else saw it.
Steve R J.     thank you Steve! Any particular color? Thanks.

Billie Jean D.-Brookston, TX:
I live in Brookston, TX ( about 4 to 6 miles west of Paris,TX) I was outside around 5:30 am helping my mom and sister load stuff in the truck because they were going to set up at the flea market. I was standing next to my sister while she was talking to her husband when something caught my eye. I looked up and at first I thought I was watching a falling star but then I thought to myself falling stars are not green in color. Then my next thought was someone was shooting a firework off because it kind of had that look. But then I realized that it was to far up in the shy for a firework plus it never exploded. Like I said we live West of Paris, TX and I was facing west (I am not good with directions but I believe this is correct) and the object fell from western sky to the south. All I could say was "look look look look" and I think by the 4th to 5th look my sister, her husband, and my dad all saw it falling. From the time I saw it was about halfway across the sky when it looked like there was an explosion or something..... none of us could explain it. Also about 30 sec to 45 sec after it disappeared we saw another green light fall but it was much smaller ( or farther away) and it fell straight down. I know that sounds crazy but that is what we saw. By the time we went inside it was close to 6 am because I turned the TV on to CNN to see if something was going on. I would love to know what it was so if you find out please email me back..... Thanks       thank you Billie Jean! Will post any other info/imagery if it becomes available.

Mark M.-Fort Worth, TX:
I saw the same fireball that Steve J. witnessed.
I live south of Ft. Worth, and had just stepped onto my east porch when this extremely bright image on my deck came racing towards me. I looked up and saw this very large "green" meteor through my trees at about 60 degree elevation, just about due East. It continued downward for about 5 seconds (a long time) and broke into two pieces at about 25 degrees elevation. I waited for a sonic boom, but did not hear one.
This was the largest and brightest meteor I can recall seeing. Mark     excellent! thank you Mark!

Time: between 11:50pm 8/29/2011 12:10am 8/30/2011 (sorry not specific, but it took me a while to settle down).

Daphne R.-Northeast TX:
I saw this, too, southern sky, low above the tree tops, very bright and large, in NE TX. It was the most curious meteor and one of the brightest I've ever seen. I was surprised I didn't see something about it on the news today. That is why i Googled it.

SOCAL Dusk Meteor Fireball 28AUG2011

Email From:

Craig E.-San Diego, CA:
Shortly after sunset 8/28/2011 at about 19:42 PST I witnessed a green meteorite in the sky looking West from downtown San Diego on the 26th floor of a building with unobstructed views. This was a bright green shooting star and didn't leave a trail. It was about 45 degrees high and shot straight down (not side to side) lasting for about a second, vanishing roughly 15-20 degrees above the horizon to the West of downtown San Diego.  It appeared to blink the moment before disappearing!  This was the first one I've seen while it was still light out.

Daylight Fireball Seen From Ontario, Manitoba Canada To Minnesota 27AUG2011 5:20 P.M. CDT

Daylight Fireball Observed Across Upper Mid West U.S. And Southeastern Canada 27AUG2011 ~5:20 P.M. CDT (22:20 UTC)

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.”

is 6 miles west of Two Harbors Minnesota 55616. The meteor appeared
for less than 3 seconds as I was facing due north at or about 45
degrees to the horrizon traveling to the east to north east. The
meteor's bright white center was surrounded by a fluroscent blue,
metalic, chrome halo. Smaller than a full moon but larger than the
International Space Station which I have frequently seen orbiting at
night. There were no sonic booms or other sounds to report or any
distinguishable trail.

At approximately 1:30 am Pacific time a bright green light was seen on a west to east trajectory with a downward angle of near 30 degree. It was viewed looking toward the s,se. Subsonic speed but moving fast. Appeared to be 1 to 2 miles away and lower than a ridge across the valley to the south. I was located 1/2 mile up Pine Mountain Drive, near Tampico, Wa. (23 miles west of Yakima, Wa.) Object was the color of a bright green flare or fireworks. It would have impacted ground within15 miles on the perceived path.
