I saw something fall at about 10:14 P.M., Sunday, March 29. I live in Littlestown, PA. It started as a large white ball, then turned orange-red before it disappeared.

My boyfriend and I saw this same light and we're from Greensboro, NC. At first I thought it was a shooting star, but it was so low and big. Plus it lasted for such a long time.

My wife spotted the ball of light crossing the skyline in Williamsburg, VA last night as we sat on the patio of our room at Great Wolf Lodge.

I saw a fiery ball falling from the sky at exactly 9:41pm outside Harrisburg, PA. I was terrified it was a plane, so I looked at the clock and told the person I was on the phone with what I had seen. It must have been much farther off than I had guessed, I assume it was a large meteorite falling into the ocean in the distance!

My daughter and I were driving south on 11/15 outside Harrisburg, PA before 10pm and saw what appeared to be a huge fireball-white/orange-red in color, low in the sky ahead of us, moving very fast. It fell out of site off to the left. We, at first, thought it could be a plane, but decided it was probably a meteor/fireball-awesome site!

I saw the same fireball in Harrisburg...it was really neat to see. It looked very close to us as we were driving on 81. It was bluish green as it got closer, then it turned orange and disappeared. Never saw anything like it before!

Hi I live in England Sheffield and I have just seen a massive fireball tonight about 10 mins ago it was scary but awsome at the same time do you think this was a Meteor? this happened at about 10.30pm it was a bright orange glare and looked about the same size as a Brittish 10 pence coin from where we were stood. it was deffo on fire I’ve never seen anything like it before. It looked like the sun was flying over our house. it made a jet like sound too. (100% deffinatley not a jet though)
