I saw it over Marina di Pulsano in Puglia around 20:30 the 12th of June.

It started as one bright-blue meteor which came from south-south-east heading in a north-north-west direction over the peninsula. It split in pieces somewhere over Puglia, first in 2-4 pieces then in 6-10 and it then disappeared out of sight. Some parts of the meteor probably burned up, and some parts continued the journey into the atmosphere.

I saw a very strong light in the sky. I guess it was a piece of that meteorite which felt in Albania.

I saw a bolide in New York, It was around 10:00pm on July 14, 2009. Was that indeed a bolide? No one around me saw it!

Hey diamond I saw the bolide too! In NYC. It was s green streak across the sky. I was walking towards the wes on Bowery. Nobody saw it and I see nothing about it online except for what you said. It would have been cool if someone captured it on video. Send me a message on heru@kode22.com there is another meteor coming soon.
