MBIQ (Meteor Bot Internet Query) Bot Indicates South Carolina, Alabama, Florida Meteor Fireball ~9:26 pm 11JAN2012

11JAN2012 Sarah Kirk Jacksonville, Florida, United States 9:26 PM Eastern Time Zone The duration of its fall that I could see inside my vehicle was 5 seconds, tops. In the Eastern sky; saw it to my left as I was traveling South A significantly large, circular object engulfed in flame with a fiery tail rapidly falling towards earth. The fire surrounding the object was bright orange, but certainly not blinding like the sun. Probably a little brighter than the severity of the moon. Definitely notcable but not overwhelming. No, the object was completely in tact and no particles that I could see were being scattered. I wish I had a photo but all I have is a memory!

11JAN2012 Thadeu Sarasota, FL, USA 9:26 PM EST 3 seconds Eastern Sky Orange - A fireball No. Just a fireball No. It was big, very big, like 50x bigger the the dot of a shooting star No photo.

11JAN2012 Jordan Orlando, Fl 9:25pm EST 3-5 sec STRAIGHT DOWN Green and then white/orange same as moon not that i could tell Really odd that it went straight down, seemed to be in Earth`s atmosphere.

11JAN2012 my husband MELBOURNE, FL,USA APRROX 9:30p.m. maybe 5 sec. E-STRAIGHT DOWN reddish/orange. no sound bright as the moon did not notice looked like a fireball...he waited to hear the sound of any impact because he never saw anything like this before and thought it was close by
