Michelle A.-Oklahoma City, OK-6:40 a.m. CDT:
Looked up an saw a object, normally a star is located in the same position. I thought at first it was the same star but the object was glowing orangish red moving across the sky. It was not a steady glow it was more of a blinking. I've never seen anything like this. Unfortunately I'm in an area where there are trees and was unable to get any picture because it moved behind a line of trees. It was dark outside but dawn was about to break. Any idea what this was?

Email From:

Kim G.-Edmond, OK:
I saw large -very large -blueish white trail- with blue glow, fall in western sky over edmond oklahoma around 11:30pm central time. Lasted 5-10 seconds, went west to northwest at 45• angle - seemed to burst into flames of the most magnificent blue i had ever seen. I thought it was a plane falling from sky, it was so dramatic. After it entetered earths atmosphere was when it exploded & lit up like a blue fireball-as big as a plane ( by comparison)-no sound- disappeared after white & blue explosion. Breathtaking!

OKC Forward Scatter Radio Indicates Two Possibly Large Meteor Events...One Daytime Event...

by ELPALLSKY 05APR2011...
James Beauchamp of Oklahoma City, OK captured the following images on his forward scatter receiver April 1st, 2011. In the images, the burst of multi-colored data indicates increased radio signal reflections by fast moving objects, likely meteors. The April 1st hit is "the largest I've ever seen" says Beauchamp, an expert in his field. "This may have been a visible daylight event."
