NW Coast/ Seattle Bolide Meteor 3NOV2010
by Mike Bandli
Fireball over Seattle @ 3:20 AM PDT:
 
“I think i just saw a meteor enter our atmosphere. Easily one of the coolest things i have seen. It was bright green with an orange trail. Kinda like a fire work. Google says it was a meteor. Either way, it was awesome.”
 
“Just saw a massive meteor fly over my house. Crazy!”
 
“Holy Meteor!!! Did anyone else just see that!!!! @ 3:20AM I was laying on my coach looking into the sky, night dreaming, and Holy Sh*t. I have seen hundreds of shooting stars, and this looked like something from a movie, super huge, super tail, WOWZERS!!!”
 
“I was just outside and saw a meteor break up in our atmosphere looking towards south auburn and muck hill. That was intense.”
 
“just saw the brightest f*cking meteor EVER. SO COOL. I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE ELECTION ANYMORE.”

This video was captured by Jeffrey Brower over 300 miles away. It does not show the terminal burst as the fireball disappears under the horizon due to the distance.
