Massachussetts Meteor Fireball Witnessed On 29JUL2011

Email From:

Dan M.-Worcester, MA:

Hi, Friday evening, 7/29/11, at 8:07 PM EDT, I was standing in my driveway looking up at some birds, when I saw a fireball pass overhead going extremely slowly (much slower than meteors I have seen in the past).  It was a mix of orange and yellow, one piece, did not appear to be breaking up although it was a bit jagged at the trailing edge, and was silent.  It took about 4 seconds to traverse my line of site from directly overhead until it disappeared over the horizon.  I live about 10 miles SSE of Worcester, MA., and it went over me heading almost due NNW.

Has anyone reported seeing anything like this, (or should I be seeing a doctor!)?

David R.-Extreme SW Ontario Canada:
We were coming in from fishing on Lake of the Woods. There was still an hour or so of daylight left. The fireball  came from the northwest and  was headed southeast. It was very large, the size of a small moon. It was bright yellow and had almost no tail as it streaked across the sky. There were 3 other boats who independently saw it also.
