Approx 11pm Cook islands time 24 November 2012 / would be 10pm NZST 25 November 2012. Big orange flare looking thing in the sky, towards the south of Rarotonga. Was driving but kept it in view, dropped in height and became like a dimming red dot. Can someone tell us anything?!! We'd like to know... Have seen space junk falling before off to the south of Raro... This didn't have the same fireworks look.

I saw it Saturday night greenish yellow with green tail...in the northeastern sky. Looked pretty big. It's the second large meteor I have seen in Northern California in the past 4 weeks.

Rounding Third & Melissa, Can you both please fill out a meteor sighting report so that we can know where you are located as well as where you first saw it (direction), where you last saw it and direction it was traveling. Any info would be a big help, Thanks!

I saw one tonight November 28th around 11pm in Denver going north towards Westminster it was a bluish green with a firey trail it was beautiful but it alarmed me is it normal to meteor s to be sighted on separate nights? The reason I ask is because there was news coverage about a month ago about an unidentified flying object above Denver so I am just a little nervous being I saw this and talk of the end of the world recently
