Report Type: Fireball     Date: Between 1964 and 1970  Time: Just before dusk    City: North Palm Beach  State/Province: Florida

Country:  USA  Duration of Event: 5 seconds

    
Event Description:

Appearingfrom the South and moving towards the north was a big, orange fireball that resembled a glowing "roughly" shaped baseball.  As I saw it, it came over the horizon and whizzed above me until it was over the north horizon.  I heard a rushing sound...no delay.  (It) scared the !!##** out of my little brother and I.

I looked in the paper with my parents the next morning and found a small article about a meteor. Not sure about major details. I was only about 10 or a little older and my brother doesn't even remember the event.

Report Type: Fireball     Date:  May 6, 2008 Time: 10:55 am EST   City:  New York Province/State: New York

Country: USA  Duration of Event: 1.5 Minutes

    
Event Description:

I did not observe it as a fireball. more like moving smoke with constant tail white in color..  It was moving from South -West to North- East.  At first I thought it was a plane leaving an usual contrail, but this object was moving at a lower altitude than a plane would and did not leave a usual contrail.  This object had a tail which remained a constant length relative to the object. No debri was left behind. I am not sure whether it was a fireball because it is currently a very bright cloud-less day.

I found this picture and it looked similar to what is shown. http://www.geocities.com/aerolitehunter/Oct14fireball.jpg

again, I am not sure if it was a fireball or a plane but I would like to know if there are other reports from my general area.

Event Description:

A orange, blue and white fireball travelling South to North.  The fireball was brighter than Venus and had a bright white tail. It was moving across the sky slow enough for my husband to call my attention to the meteor and for me to see it for sometime in the windscreen of our car.

Impact:

Couldn't tell for sure. The meteor was high and it passed behind trees, but the meteor looked like it was heading down. If the meteor did hit it would have been in Nevada or lower Oregon/Idaho border

Unusual:

The meteor was very brightly colored and had a hot looking white tail.

night, couldn't tell

Speed: 4 with 10 being the fastest.

Sound: no

Impact: I have no way of knowing

Unusual: besides not looking like any atmospheric event I've seen, not a meteor, not lightning, just, very random

Comments:

We had a storm here in VaBeach, which left out East to sea at 930, I know because I photographed it for the news from my home at the oceanfront. Later I went up to get my tripod from the porch, at about 10, right when I opened the door it streaked across the sky, I stood there rationalizing it for about 10 minutes. The storm was gone, I knew it wasn't lightning, I know lightning, I photograph it frequently, plus this was a ball, green, with a slight tail. Also there is a Navy base to the North of me, but they do not do any kind of testing, I knew it wasn't any missile or anything, as it was also silent. I still cant wrap my head around it, id love to hear your opinions.

Comments:

I was on patrol with the Sheriff's office when this took place.  I was with another officer who also witnessed this.  We were talking outside of our units when the night sky lit up bright.  We looked up and there it was, trailing across the sky.  If I held my index finger up, the ball of it was slightly bigger than my finger. The tail of it appeared to be maybe the size of my fist from side to side, if not it was longer than that.  Both of these measurements are with my arm fully extended out.  I would like to find out if anyone else saw this thing.

My wife, father, sister and I were driving home from hunting in two separate vehicles. We were south of Great Falls heading north. My wife and I saw A "fire ball" fall straight down through the cloud deck. It appeared to be very large, and not very far away maybe 60 or 70 miles. It was reddish orange in color and had a definite fire trail. It looked like a rocket taking off through the clouds except it was falling not climbing. We asked my father and sister via walkie-talkie if they saw that. they replied that they had. Yet we have found no one else who saw it.

Event Description:

Direction Appeared:    East

Direction Disappeared: West

Viewing Time:          5 seconds

Brightness:            Nearly as bright as the moon

Color:                 Green

Direction Change:      No

Did It Fall Apart: No

Smoke Trail:  Somewhat, but not a long trail that I could see

Speed: 3  With 10 being the fastest.

Sound: No

Impact: It passed out of sight, although it definitely appeared to be descending.

Unusual: The sheer size (almost the size of a full moon) and its green color was shocking.  It was certainly on its way crashing to earth.

Comments:

I saw the "green fireball" while driving home from work.  It appeared to be absolutely huge and was crashing to earth.  I assumed it was a meteorite, but its sheer size was astounding.  I called 911 to report the event, so they would be on guard in case it landed in a populated area.  I estimated that it would land somewhere to the west of Wonder Lake, IL.  After thinking about it more, I realize that looks may be deceiving so the "crash site" would probably be further away than I originally thought, but it's hard to say.

Comments:

I was standing outside taking pictures of ice that was coating the wind chimes.  Suddenly a bright pink light lit up the entire southern sky.  Within a minute another one appeared, well above the horizon (45 degrees).  I had my phone with me (using the camera to take the pictures) and I called my

landlady and asked if she had seen it.  She was standing by the window that faces southwest when another white light lit up the sky, then another one.

The lights on a radio tower just a couple of miles away went out, then almost immediately they came back on.  I came in and checked the weather radar to see if there were a storm to the south that could cause lightening. There were no storms to the south, not even for 200 miles.

Report Type: Fireball - (Flash)    Date: April 19, 2009  Time: 2:30 am   City: Phoenix (Maricopa County)  Province/State: Arizona

Country: USA  Duration of Event: Under 30 seconds

    
Event Description:

Last night around 2:30AM in Central Phoenix, 3 friends and myself were outside hanging out in a friend's driveway. We were all chatting and joking around when a bright flash of light lit everyone up for a few seconds coming from the western part of the sky. I paused and one friend asked, "Did everyone else just see that?" I was relieved that I wasn't the only one who saw. I'm not sure if  We immediately got scared and left. Can anyone please tell me if they saw this around their neighborhood? I tried to think of it as a creepy neighbor taking a photo but...this was IN the sky. Was it a meteor? A shooting star? My friends that were there kept joking that aliens were taking photos of us and put it aside.   

It was big enough to light up the whole driveway, perfect white light, no sound whatsoever and it was just one bright flash.

Smoke Trail: Yes

Speed: 3 to 5

Sound: No

Impact: likely, if continuing apparent trajectory.

Unusual: None other than sudden appearance.

Comments:

Burning object appeared in sky viewed from 4th floor apartment window.  Appeared as gigantic flair, pointed at the observer. Appeared in the sky at 25-30 degree tangent from position on couch. Appeared initially to be nearly stationary. Smoke trail gave the impression it trailed higher than burning object. After ~20 seconds, moving outside to listen, there was no sound over nearby road noise. Observed object was moving across horizon to the north. Fireball stopped burning and a solid small dark object continued out of view over the horizon. Impression was that object dropped from high (apparent slow velocity), possibly very high (deceptive size) altitude, to low altitude, arcing earthward (apparent faster speed), and was not at a constant altitude. Cannot rule out possibility of a burning aircraft. An aircraft ~10 minutes later had a slightly different trajectory and banked east and below horizon.  Another aircraft ~5 minutes later came from the horizon arcing south east. Other aircraft have been observed moving in this same flyway, likely arriving and departing National Airport in DC. However, the object continued in a constant trajectory ~6 degrees N-NE, and seemed to arc to earth.

Direction Appeared:    South

Color:                 Blue

Comments:

It happened so fast and I was on the phone at the time so I questioned if I was just imagining it, but I definitely saw something fall from the sky and I was on Davisburg road headed east.  There is just open land where it would have fallen if it hit ground but I would be too scared to investigate.  It was very strange experience.  I have good eyes and I don't wear glasses.

Report Type: Fireball    Date:  November 27, 2009 Time: 7:30 PM   City: Charlottesville    Province/State: Virginia

Country: USA   Duration of Event: 5 Seconds

    
Event Description:

Direction Appeared:    West

Direction Disappeared: South-West

Viewing Time:          5 seconds

Brightness:            similar to fireworks

color:                 white and blue-green

Direction Change:      No

Did It Fall Apart:

Yes, there was a trail of burning debris behind it.

Smoke Trail:

Dark, could not see any smoke trial.

Speed:

5 (much faster than a plane, but about the speed I would expect for something falling to earth from space)

Sound:

I thought I heard a sizzling sound.  There was no delay, so the sound might unrelated or created before I saw the object.

Impact:

It seemed to burn up before impacting.

Unusual:

I have seen only one other fireball many years ago.  It looked similar to this one.  Definitely much bigger, brighter, and closer than a regular "shooting star".

Comments:

I was in a parking lot of a shopping center when I saw it.  It was so bright and obvious that I expected other people to have seen it.  However, no one around me acted like they saw anything, and when I asked some people, they said they did not see it.  I did, however, see several reports of a large burning object falling to earth on Tweeter right after the event.  One person was from Virginia.  I could not tell where the rest were from.  I would be interested in hearing how many other people saw this fireball.
