Peyia Valley, Cyprus Orange Meteor Fireball 24JUN2011 ~00:05 Local Time EET

Julie R.-Cyprus:
I saw a large orange red fireball as big as the moon.  It was visible over Peyia Valley in Cyprus.  I was facing south south west at the time and it was visible for about 4to5 seconds from me noticing it. Totally silent. Whilst I was watching it shrank to half the size in an instant but then it very slowly started a descent into the valley but then just before it disappeared it looked like it had exploded. Hope this info was helpful for your research. Please note that the time was Thursday night early hours in the morning of Friday 24th June 2011 and that this was Cyprus time.

DANIELLE V.-Halifax Nova Scotia:
Good afternoon, My name is Danielle. Saturday evening I was watching some tv in my living room and noticed that the neighbourhood was suddenly light up with a reddish glow, with a minor flicker. My first assumption was that there must be some firetrucks down the street but once I looked out the window, I saw this bright red ball of fire, going through the sky, about half the size of a full moon, and just before it went over the tree line, it appeared to loose it’s glow, but you could still see it, it looked like it had a slight wiggle from side to side to it, before I lost sight of it over the tree line. It was just a matter of seconds, I had my iphone in my hand and attempted to access my camera, but it was gone before I had a chance to photograph it. I’ve never seen anything like this before, it was breath taking!

June 25  2011. Tonight at 10:15 pm central daylight time I saw a large reddish-orange fireball in the sky. I was on my deck 15 miles east of St Paul minnesota.  The fireball was in the western sky and traveled from the south to north in a straight line.  The angle above the earth ( from my position) appeared to be about 20-25 degrees above the horizon. The fireball was about 1/2 the size of a full moon from my perspective. It appeared to be very,very slightly flickering in intensity but was alway very bright. It appeared to be round. From the time of first sighting  until it disappeared over the horizon was about 30 seconds.  My wife was also a witness.  We compared notes and agreed as to all points about this. I am an experienced pilot of many years experience so am used to looking a objects in the sky gaging distance, shape etc. I have 15 years experience as a Missile engineer at White Sands Missile range some years ago where I experienced many missile firings. So again I am familiar with this aspect of flying objects. This object glowed bright in color Orange-reddish, and left no trail or no visible debris falling away but it seemed to have an extremely slight tail. I am certain it was not an aircraft. The flight path was very consistent and apparently level with the horizon from first viewing to disappearing from sight. I need to add that there was no audible sound from this "fireball".

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!
