hey, I was sure where to post this. I have been searching for if anyone just saw what i saw!!! I am in Bossier City, Louisiana. I was walking my dogs at 9p.m. CST, and thought I was seeing a shooting star, until it got huge, continued to fall, and turned bright green! It fell behind our apartment complex, and I am guessing it hit the ground, because in that direction the sky lit up bright green. It was crazy, I've never seen anything like it, and I wanted to share.My kids and i were driving on the interstate 3-10 approaching Kenner, Louisiana about 8:45 p.m. this evening when i saw huge sea green colored ball with flames tailing. I instantly yelled "Look a shooting star!" Then realized it was a meteor. It came powerfully spiraling downwards towards the marsh below , to the left of us. It was astonishing ! Looking back in my mirror still surprised of what we witnessed, i saw the sky light upon, what must've been ,the impact into the earth. We couldnt have been more then 2 miles away from it. It was absolutely beautiful.
I was sitting outside smoking, and saw a blue streak n I look up within a split second I see a blue ball of fire and its gone! Scared me! I ran inside! Never seen anything like it! It was about 8:50 pm in waynesboro,MS on 1-11-11.

Saw a huge quick flash of light overhead that lit up St. Dominic's Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi about 8:45 pm tonight, 1-11-11. Until now, I thought it was just a huge flash of light from the rooftop of the building or some type of flash from the nearby interstate. It was a quick flash of bright white light on the ground and on the building. Guess it was a meteor.
I saw the flash of light from Baptist hospital parking lot- it was so bright!!
Well i didn't see it but I heard it. It was around 8:45 pm 1/11/2011 I was in the back of my home with my daughter and I heard this BOOM BOOM BOOM sound. I thought maybe someone was here running down my hallway. But I went and looked and it was no one. I called my Dad, who lives next door, to make sure it wasn't him and it was not him. So the only explanation is it was a meteor. ?
i seen it from crowley louisiana...i even went looking for it...lol...thats how close it looked
I saw it in Lexington, Tennessee. At first I thought it might have been a plane crashing or something. It was just so weird watching something fall from the sky. I was in my car so I didn't hear anything. I just saw a bright green ball with some orange behind it fall. Once it disappeared behind the tree line, the whole sky flashed for a second or so.
I also saw the meteor in Mobile, Al around 8:50PM while driving on Hwy 98. I have never experienced such an amazing encounter, It was absolutley brilliant with light and HUGE!
I live in Hahnville, LA and we heard a huge kaboom... Called EOC to find out if a plant blew up. We were told it was a meteorite. The kaboom was so loud, our windows and house shook..
I saw a green glowing ball of light with a blazing tail falling like a shooting star around 8:45pm on 1/11/11 in the David Dr./W. Napoleon area of Metairie, LA. At first I thought it was a shooting star but now realize it must have been a meteorite!
We were flying at 35,000 feet over Louisiana last night and saw this brilliant white light that lit up the entire flight deck. Appeared to have passed almost overhead. We reported it to Air Traffic Control within seconds after the sighting, and they stated that three other aircraft had already reported it as well.

My husband and I saw it from Monroe, Louisiana at approx. 8:53p.m. We thought it was close enough that we may find where it came down. We drove for a bit but never saw anything. I saw a orange red ball and he saw bluish-grey with what looked to be smoke trailing.
I saw it at bestway on Woodrow and Bailey in Jackson,ms. I was in the truck and at first I looked for cop lights bc it was blue. My husband thought it was a firework bc he heard a boom. The timing fits so I guess this is what we saw.
I saw the meteor and the flash traveling south on I-45 just outside of Fairfild, TX @ the 9:50 time frame. I was looking towards the east were the majority of people are reporting the sighting. I told my buddy I just saw a meteor. Woke up the next morning and saw the news having breakfast @ CJ's in Jewett. My Buddy looked at me with disbelief! Oh well! Told You so! Funny thing is we are both from Louisiana!
I was driving north on Highway 35 from Kaplan Louisiana. And at about 8:50PM on January 11th. I looked east and I saw a large green fireball swirling. It was not coming straight down. It was twisting and curving up and down like a firework would do going up, but coming down instead. Beams of light were coming from the left and right sides. It was very bright and big. I didn't see it hit the ground, but a lot of my coworkers said they saw the flash of light instead and some even heard the sonic boom. I wasn't sure what I saw because I thought meteors come straight down?
MY SON AND HIS WIFE SAW THE LIGHT AND THEIR WINDOWS RATTLED. THEY ALSO HEARD THE BOOM AND IT WAS VERY LOUD. THEY LIVE IN THE SHILOH AREA OF RANKIN COUNY PELAHATCHIE MISSISSIPPI APPROXIMATELY 24 MILES FROM JACKSON MS.
