Fireball Reported Over N TX ~11:30 pm 18JUN2011-FITS Inquiries Suggests Seen By Many

Email From:

Jessika P.-Stephenville, Texas:
Hello, I live in Stephenville, Texas.  Last night I was outside, facing west and then around 11:30pm something was moving quickly to my south - shoutheast.  It only lasted a few seconds - 5 at the most. At first it was a small white ball of light, then a larger white ball, turning red/orange, and finally a green tint.  It fell behind a tree line at this point.  I tried to listen for it to hit the ground, but a neighbor stared their car up around the time I believe a noise could have been heard.  It was several miles from me I am sure, although I do not know how many.  Very cool though!!!  I was running into my front yard to keep my eye on it!!  Amazing!!  I would love to figure out how to go find it, and see if anything with standed an impact. Thank you,    thank you for this heads up Jessika!

Luis C.-Fair Oaks Ranch, TX:
I live in Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas (West of San Antonio), zip code 78015.  Saturday night, 06/18/2011, my wife and I were in our swimming pool, at about 11:30 pm or so, when I, who was facing North, saw what appeared to be a large ball of fire streaking downward toward the horizon, travelling downward at a 4 o’clock angle, left to right.  What I saw was a bright white ball with visible flames on each side of it.  The flames were red to orange and very distinct around the left and right sides of the ball.  It was so large that I have to believe it was very close to the earth’s surface.  Just to give you a frame of reference to size, the size of the fireball compared to stars in the sky was similar to the head of a thumbtack compared to a basketball.   It lasted only about 4 seconds before falling behind the tree line and was lost to sight.   Afterwards we googled “fireball in the sky, July 18, 2011” we found references to it on your website.  It would be very interesting to know what it was and where, if it was a meteorite, it came down, as it seemed so close to our location.

Email From:

Kent M.-On The Road-TX:

So, it took me a while, but here is the info:

I left the Hertz garage at George Bush Int. at 11:08, says my receipt.  About half an hour later, heading toward Woodlands on I45, just south of Spring.  So driving  about 5 degrees west of north, I spotted the lit object falling slightly eastward from straight down.  I recall it being an orange color before it disappeared behind trees or a freeway ramp.

Best regards,

Kent

Joe C.-Baird, TX:

I was traveling east towards Weatherford,Tx on June14,2011 around 11:30 pm on I-20 when me and my wife both saw what appeared to be a meteor streak across the sky directly in front of us and break apart right before impacting the ground. It was traveling from the SE to NW. We were around mile marker 290 around Baird,Texas . I've seen meteors/falling stars before but  they were always streaking across the sky. This was the closest i've ever seen one and it appeared to actually impact the earth not burn out in the night sky like the ones i'd seen before.It was an amazing sight. We were traveling back from Colorado on vacation and i decided to search the internet and see if anyone else saw what we saw and thats when i ran across your site.   thank you Joe!

BREAKING METEOR FIREBALL NEWS...Phoenix, Tempe AZ Green Daylight Fireball Report 08JUN2011

BREAKING NEWS...Phoenix, Tempe AZ Green Daylight Fireball Moments Ago On 08JUN2011...ADDITIONAL REPORTS NEEDED ASAP!!! email wxtx01@gmail.com

Email From:

Kristi R-Litchfield, AZ:

I saw what looked like a shooting star and as it dissapeared it looked like a green burst. I did have sunglasses on so it could have been a different color. I was at the TGIF at Litchfield & Mcdowll. It was slightly West of us heading North. Did not hit ground.

Date and Time of these events: June 8, 2011 aprox 1:39pm
Location name (town,city) : litchfield, Az TGIF at Litchfield & Mcdowll
Start and Stop location in sky, Direction of movement, high to low mb 5 degree angle decrease.
Duration of Event (seconds), Lasted maybe 5 seconds,
Brightness ( in comparison with Venus, Moon, Sun) color, sounds? Bright and no sound
   thank you Kristie...EXCELLENT report!

Randall C.-Tempe, AZ:

I witnessed a bright daytime meteor from the east Phoenix suburb of Tempe at 13:33 local time June 8 2011.  The tract was due West from my position, streaking almost straight down and about 10 degrees toward the North. Meteor had a bright lime green color, but I was wearing brown sunglasses so don’t know true color, and displayed a short tail, but left no visible trail in a  bright sky.  Did not reach the ground, faded out about 20 degrees above the horizon.  The Phoenix near solstice mid day sky is very bright, and meteor had additional “wielding torch” brightness for about 2 seconds, so same meteor at night may have qualified as a fireball??? Randall C.    Randall...to be daylight visible is an automatic "fireball" (brighter than Venus) qualification. Any fragmentation or sounds? THANK YOU!

Response: In response to your inquiry for additional details of the daylight green fireball over Phoenix, AZ on 8 June 2011, I saw no fragmentation, but the meteor did rapidly increase in brightness at the end of its tract before rapidly fading away.  I heard no sound and felt no vibration.  From my position at Eliot Rd and the 101, the initial tract was obscured by overhead trees but I saw the last approx 4 seconds.  The meteor maintained a slow steady speed and a very bright lime green color throughout its duration.   From the reports and locations by Jolene H. and Kristi R., my (very rough) triangulation suggests the meteor entered the atmosphere over central western Arizona and descended at a 60 to 70 degree angle East - North – East until it flared brighter and burned out in the denser atmosphere just north of  White Tank Mountain.  Fragmentation may have occurred but been obscured by the bright daytime sky. Incidentally, I witnessed a spectacular nighttime fireball in July 1971 during a midnight Boy Scout hike at Camp Geronimo, AZ, that shed numerous fragments and was bright enough to leave moving shadows of trees and scouts on the ground.  It took 30 minutes for the shimmering silver trail to fade away.  I heard a soft real-time whooshing sound, but am uncertain how that can be considering the speed of sound and distance to the meteor.  Anyway, I feel privileged to have witnessed both nighttime and daylight fireball meteors.

Randall C


Jolene H.-Phoenix, AZ:
I witnessed this fireball falling to the north of Phoenix.
I was facing directly north at 39th Avenue and Pinnacle Peak Rd.  To my eyes
the color was silver blue, like a welding torch. It was VERY bright,
surprising for the daytime.  Due to an obstructed view I did not see it's
full descent.  I had no time on me but it was shortly before 2pm on
wednesday June 9 .  It appeared to be descending from west to east at about
a 60 degree angle to the ground.  I heard no sound, nor did I feel any
vibrations. Thanks,     no, thank YOU Jolene!

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!

FITS Inquiries Indicating Widely Seen Fireball Over Pacific NW At 21:25 PDT 04JUN2011

Jonathan L.-Seattle, WA:
I was heading Northbound on I-5 from downtown Seattle to Lynnwood at around 9:30 PM PST on Saturday June 4th, and it took all I had not to crash my car! SO amazing!!

Jann Perez-Puget Sound, WA:
At first we thought this was a jet plume but the object has a definite "head and tail."  We viewed it unaided and then through 16x50 binoculars.  It should be visible in Bellingham and Vancouver, BC.  It looks like a fireball but that could be an effect from the setting sun.  Our last,sighting was at 21:25 PDT.  Please advise the nature of the object.

Follow-up: Jann Perez-Puget Sound, WA:
The sighting reminded me of Hale Bop (sp), however, last night's object was lower in the sky and brighter.  The object was moving where as Hale-Bop seemed to be just hanging in the sky.  We get lots of planes over our house.  We are on Puget Sound looking toward the Olympic Mountains, and SeaTac is just to the east of us.  Please advise if you find an answer.
