Anne M.-Austin, TX:
Hello, I just wanted to let someone know that on June 25, 2011 around 9:45 pm central time in Austin, TX, I spotted what looked like a meteor or space trash burning up as it entered the atmosphere. The object seemed to be about about ten times as big as a shooting star and so it immediately caught my attention. As I watched it for about three seconds, it shot down as opposed to across the sky and was yellow as opposed to white in color. I am very interested in astrology and it seemed to be a truly a unique sighting for me.
Anonymous-San Antonio, TX:
Hello, just wanted to report a sighting. Conveniently enough out of the 12-13 people that were on a roof at a party, I happened to be the only faced to where I saw the meteor/fireball/spacetrash. I'm not too sure which direction it went, but it was around 10-11 (not too sure), very very bright, yellow/reddish/orange ball in the sky. I saw it for about 5 seconds, I jumped up and said, "Holy crap look!!!" and it wasn't enough time for my buds to see it. I'm a stargazer, and have never seen something like that. It didn't make a noise, it was fairly quiet out on the roof. Thanks!
