Ontario, Canada Four Meteor Fireball Events 4NOV2011

Event 1: Also seen in Michigan.
Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Meteor 8:30 PM 4NOV2011
Fire ball or meteor seen in Richmond hill Ontario in north west direction approx. 8.30pm. -Maurice Thank you Maurice!

Kitchener, Ontario, Canada Lime Green Meteor Fireball  20:35 EST 4NOV2011
Facing West, south end of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada at 20:35 EST, I saw a very slow moving, bright lime green fireball descending nearly vertically down to the nearest tree line on the Western horizon. It was the biggest, brightest, slowest moving meteor I have ever seen. Now flashing or sparking, perhaps a very small trailing tail of light extending nearly perpendicular to the horizon.
I thought it might have been fireworks/flare, but after seeing other internet reports of same sighting at same time in my area, I believe it was the strangest fireball I have ever observed. -Kevin  Thank you Kevin!

Ontario, Canada ~8:36 PM 4NOV2011
I saw a meteor for the 3rd time in 3 years. The last 2 times are a while ago but the newest one happened tonight at around 8h36 pm over the 401 between thickson and stevenson (or if you want right in front of the oshawa go/viarail station. It was comimg down from the sky colored blue and very small looking and then suddenly extinguished. Because of the smoke trail you could tell it wasn't fireworks plus it was 1 singular light! The other 2 ones I saw was identical colored but different sizes. Now I think that's a meteorite or some debris falling from space? -Kim
 Thank you Kim!

Whitmore Lake, Michigan, USA
I was driving on the freeway in Michigan on 23 north. I had just passed Whitmore Lake MI when I saw a bright ball of white light falling from the sky. It looked as though it was coming right at me so I would say the direction was south. It lasted maybe 5 seconds and it disappeared. It was at 8:36PM, November 4, 2011, only know this because I immediately called my husband after I saw it and the time is on my phone. I had to research on the internet to figure out it was a meteorite, I have definitely never seen anything like it before. -Hodge  Thank you Mrs. Hodge!
Event 2:
Everett, Ontario Meteor Fireball ~9:40 PM 4NOV2011
I live in Everett, Ontario Canada and just saw a very large white/blue bright light rapidly go over the top of our neighbors home, and then I lost sight of it. I was waiting for a bang or rumble but didn't hear one. This happened at approx 9:40 pm nov4/11. Was this expected tonight? Regards,
Wendy  Thank you Wendy!

Kingston, Ontario. At around 11:45 pm 4NOV2011
Nov 4th , 2011 I was driving towards downtown Kingston, Ontario. At around 11:45 pm, I witnessed a very bright large green fireball with a long trailing tail shooting straight down in the Southwest sky. I have never seen anything like it in my life. Approximately five minutes later I saw another smaller green light shooting across the Southeastern sky. I wish I had gotten pictures but they were moving very fast. -Amanda P.  Thank you Amanda!
