| MBIQ Data Indicating Meteor 14OCT2011 (c) 2011 LunarMeteorite*Hunter / Google Earth |
Fireball was seen heading down at a steep angle for 2 to 3 seconds. No tail was seen an color went from white to powder blue. It was the largest meteor, fireball or spacejunk I ever saw. Close to the size of a dime if held out arms length. Close to ground before disappearing. I was driving and pointed out to friend. He said he hasn't seen anything like it. The size and the change of color was pretty amazing to us. Were in our 60's and were on our way home from work. -Aaron
Thank you Aaron!
Placerville, CA Meteor ~10:30 pm 14OCT2011
10/14/11 at approximately 10:30pm, I was travelling East on Highway 50 in Placerville, CA (Northern CA). I saw a large green fireball-type object "fall" at an angle across the sky. So amazing! It was the biggest space object I've ever seen. Just slightly smaller and less bright than the almost-full moon nearby, it was visible for about 2 seconds, then disappeared behind the line of trees. Very green in color. It looked so big! I've seen shooting stars and meteor showers. This was nothing in comparison. Just amazing. -Becky K. Thank you Becky!
Madera, CA Meteor
I was driving north on Hwy 99 on my way home from work and noticed out of the corner of my eye a bright green flash coming down at about a 45 degree angle. It split and each piece stayed in line with each other looking like there was a break in the tail. The sky was very clear and the object very bright. There didn't seem to be an impact but the point at which the object stopped burning was very low. -William D. Thank you William!

A buddy and I were driving home to Ridgecrest, CA on Hwy 14 on 14 Oct 11 at approx. 10:30 pm when we saw a fantastic green fireball behind the clouds coming down to Earth. It was falling in a South West direction over the Sierra Nevada Mountain range near the 178W highway toward Lake Isabella. I saw a green fireball back in '04 near Bishop, CA while driving on Hwy 14 as well. I made certain that my buddy saw it too while we were driving on Friday 14 Oct 11. He confirmed that he saw it. Fantastic. The fireball was the size of a full size truck. We knew it was not a firework since it was behind the clouds.-JR Thank you JR!
Falling fireball, highway 50 east, October 14
Falling fireball, highway 50 east, October 14
I didn't make a note of the exact time or location, but 10:30 sounds right for where we were. We were heading to Tahoe on Highway 50 in the Sierras. I was driving and my husband was snoozing. I saw a huge blue fireball falling from right to left and gasped loudly. My gasp caused my husband to open his eyes, and he saw it for a second or two before it disappeared close to the top of the trees. I am dying to know what it was! Now that I finally got around to googling it, I'm glad to see we didn't hallucinate it. Thanks! -Linda Thank you Linda!
