I was on Antigua street in a community called Gulf Gate. I was running and looking south and I saw this yellow fire ball with a blue green tail. It seemed very low and close. The angle was such that my vision was interrupted by trees about 100 yards away. I stopped and watched it for maybe 3 seconds. My watch said 6:01 a.m.

I saw the one early thismorning in South Central lorida as I was crossing the cane fields outside of Belle Glade Florida. It passed headin East low over the southern horizon. There was actually two different bursts as if it skipped off the atmosphere. Absolutely awesome
E-mail From Kurt In Naples FL...I saw the fireball described in other sightings at approximately 6 AM this morning in Naples, FL. As it approached, it lite up the front room. It then flew by the window for an instant. The ball was bright white with a slight green tinge along the trailing edge. It had a golden tail that appeared to be sparks trailing it.
E-mail Post To ELPALLSKY...I saw a fireball cross the sky while I was facing south in riverview around 6:00am, lasted a few seconds. Very large and bright
E-mail Post To ELPALLSKY...I saw it from Southeast Saint Petersburg.
U can see the Sunshine skyway bridge and it was directly above it. So from SE ST pete I saw it come down at a slight arc Southwest over the bridge so it may have landed in the Gulf. It was not in Tampa Bay. The green color is usually the element copper so I thought it might be a satellite or space junk
E-mail Post To ELPALLSKY...A large fireball was seen this morning 1/25 at 6:00am over the NW sky in Fort Myers, FL low just above the horizon. The meteor had a light blueish-grey smoke trail. Really beautiful!
E-mail From Boca Grande FL...Good morning - I found you on a Google search trying to figure out what I saw this morning. I was on the beach in Boca Grande Florida (sw coast) at (or just minutes before) 6am and what first appeared to be a huge shooting star appeared streaking eastward over the Gulf of Mexico, then burned green before disappearing behind a cloud. The whole view probably oasted 5-10 seconds For a secon I thought it was a signal flare but it didn't arc, it streaked.
Any other reports? Thanks - Mary Anne
