Dalton, GA
Just before 11 p.m. on May 20, 2011, in Dalton, GA, I saw a beautiful meteor for about two seconds. It was mostly blue and glowed very brightly. Never seen anything quite as beautiful as this before. It made no noise. My wife had her back to the meteor and didn’t see it. I was hoping she could have seen it. Appeared to be traveling North to South, but can’t guarantee that. -Richard M.

2011 Year of Green Meteors!
Ive never seen anything like what I saw last night around ten thirty. A bright light of energy growing in size as it traveled shot across the sky lasting about 5 seconds. I was so caught up in the moment I do not remember the exact color but I do remember the light getting brighter and more brilliant as it came to an end. GOD IS LIGHT. Energy. EXUM -Ezy

Northeast of Clanton, Alabama Meteor ~9:40 pm
Saw a meteor about 9:40 pm Northeast of Clanton Alabama Started out Large yellow with white tail then turned blue green with pieces breaking away. Bright large flashes lighting up the sky and it disappeared. I suspect it may be the same one that was seen in Georgia. We’re about 2 hours drive time to the west of Atlanta Georgia. First time reporting a meteorite sighting. It was very impressive to see. thank you -Billy and Melissa Enterkin

I saw this in N. Florida Fri. @ 22:45 ET. It looked close it was so big. Bright blue flame and large piece broke off midway.It was AWESOME. I did scream! Was in north, moving to the west. Best I've ever seen, by far.
I was coming home from Va to Athens, Ga., on I85 S, and before I got to Commerce, approx. 10:46pm, I saw a meteorite shoot horizontally from the Southernly to Northernly sky.It had a tail, and was mostly green, then blue and the tail was white..it was pretty large, bright,and burned out in a few seconds.very cool...
My beutiful girlfriend and I were in the midst of ending our relationship and I jumped up out of my chair and we both observed an amazing blue meteor fly through the nite sky above her house. She won't tell me her wish.
