Pownal, ME, blue/green fireball between 8:30 and 9:30pm EST on Saturday, March 5
In Pownal, ME, between 8:30 and 9:30pm on Saturday, March 5, I observed a blue/green fireball, shaped somewhat like a little glass fuse, traveling (I think) from east to west for 3 to 4 seconds, just a bit above tree level. -Louise Poppema
Gray, Maine white-Orange-Green meteor 8:30 pm EST 5MAR2011
Spring City, PA. bright flourescent green ball ~ 8p.m 5MAR2011
On March 5th about 8p.m. in Spring City, PA. my son, Shane and I watched this bright flourescent green ball with a long tail travel across the sky kind of east to west approx. 15 degrees up. It lasted 3-4 seconds. He looked at me and said I believe in aliens. I never saw a comet like that it was very bright. I was waiting to hear a bang thinking it was fireworks, but couldn't have been by the distance and direction it traveled. Truly was amazing! - Mike
Buxton/Hollis Maine blue light streak across the sky 7:30 PM EST 5MAR2011
I live in Buxton/Hollis Maine. I was driving to drop off my friend at about 7:30 PM when I saw a bright blue light streak across the sky. I only saw it for about 2 seconds because it was moving so fast. I couldn't tell how high up it was but it wasn't a 'shooting star' because it was under the clouds and it lit up the clouds above it. Either a meteorite or a UFO. Hoping more people report it so my friends believe me. :) -Detective Jankins
southern NH (Windham near I-93 exit 3) bright green fireball 7:20pm EST 5MAR2011
March 5, 2011 approx 7:20pm (last night) in southern NH (Windham near I-93 exit 3) - saw bright green fireball in the northern ski just at then below cloud ceiling traveling west, possibly northwest (descent 15-degrees). It was so bright it lit up the night sky, but I lost visual in the woods after few seconds - possibly landed? - Anon.
bright ball of light in sky
So happy to find others who saw the bright light in the sky last night. I live in Fremont, NH and about 7:20 saw out the living room window a bright ball streaking across the sky in a northwest direction. It was much too large to be a star. I lost it behind the trees. I watched the news last night and this morning thinking someone else must have seen it.

My wife and I saw the fireball descend in the night sky in Portland, Maine, travelling north on Route 302 on March 5th, 2011 sometime after 7pm. We saw the glow as it fell for several seconds straight ahead of us out the car window - again looking north. It seemed to fall at an angle and it finally faded out before it reached the line of sight blocked by trees. I have seen meteors before at a distance and meteor showers (many), but this was definitely the brightest I've ever seen. It was definitely an awesome sight. My wife said she thought it was green, but I did not notice the color.
