Cumberland, Rhode Island Meteor Fireball 2JAN2011 3JAN2011

A person from Cumberland, Rhode Island wrote:
Cumberland RI January 2nd at 11:50 pm EST. I observed a huge fireball which appeared thousands of feet up the size of a street light. It hurled toward the ground and just before the treeline where I live, it went out. I have never seen anything like this ever. I have seen shooting stars pass in the sky but nothing this large hurling to the ground. I am still bewildered!


Another reader writes about an earlier 31DEC2010 Texas Meteor event!
