Hi , tho I don't have video of the fire ball , I did witness it all the way from Sea Side N.J. Even from here it lit up the night sky casting shadows . I was lucky enough to witness the entire event. My girlfriend and I watched as it appeared to break up, as it headed from east to west. It was the brightest , longest lasting meteor I have ever seen in my life . It really was amazing. I hope this might help you pin down where it may have landed. [address]

Hello. We (Myself, my son and a friend) witnessed this large fireball go over our house in Alexandria Virginia last night around 10 ish. We did not get videos.. at first we thought it was some kind of fire works but it was too big and moved very fast. It seemed to move from east to north west. We checked the local news but no reports. I can't believe more people did not see this.

I saw a meteor come into our atmosphere last night at approximately 10:30pm. I saw which direction it went from my vantage point in Point of Rocks, MD. It was quite large actually and a little scary looking. It was green and then went to orange and red.

Thanks, Lisa

Pennsylvania Large Meteor/ Fireball Bolide 24JUN2010

Meteor Sounded Like Frying Bacon!

I had the best meteorite experience in my life today at 9:58 pm. I saw a huge fireball for about 5 seconds. I was in Williamsport, MD. It came from the SE and headed NW. My first thought was who is shining a spotlight in the field? I then looked right, and in the second that I looked right I heard a loud boom, and sizzle like bacon. The boom was so loud that it made me jump! I saw stones shedding off this. I saw yellow , green, and white. I saw the dark flight for a second or so; it was like white pin dots. I did some research and it seems to been the brightest in White Hall, MD; maybe PA. I think I am less than 100 miles from the strewnfield.
