B.C./Calgary, Alberta, Canada Green Meteor 11NOV2011
Calgary, Alberta, Canada Green Meteor 10:25 PM MST 11NOV2011
Just saw your website when I was trying to figure out what I saw tonight.
At 10:25PM MST tonight (11/11/11) I was standing on my apartment balcony when I saw a green streak in the sky. It only lasted about 2 seconds and was West of Calgary, AB, Canada heading in a South to North direction over the Rocky Mountains.
Hope this info helps.-Chris Grimes Thank you Chris!
Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada Meteor 11.11.11
In Nanaimo, from my east facing window looking over Strait of Georgia I saw the biggest fireball-comet -like-meteor blazing down, at a 45 degree angle coming from high in the sky into (it seemed) the ocean between us and Vancouver. I thought it was very close, but now reading your website it seems like the same fireball that was spotted in Calgary - it was in the eastern sky moving from south to north. This is by far the biggest shooting star I have ever seen, and it made 11.11.11 even more memorable! EAL -Nadia S. Thank you Nadia!
Calgary, Alberta, Canada Blue/Green Meteor ~10:30 PM 11NOV2011
I found this website when I was attempting to ascertain what I saw the evening of 2011 November 11 at approximately 10:30pm…apparently, it was a meteorite! As with the other posts, I, too, witnessed a blue/green light west of Calgary, Alberta, Canada which was travelling in a south to north direction and lasted only a couple of seconds. I had never seen anything like it before and the closest analogy I could find would be that of a shooting star; however, it was much brighter, closer and a different colour. What a sight to behold!-Jamie Thank you Jamie!
Cochrane, Alberta, Canada. Meteor ~10:25 MST 11NOV2011
NOV.11, 2011 - at approximately 10:25 p.m. my husband and I were driving along 1a almost at the Morley road turn off when we were witness to a most brilliant display staged by the night sky. There was a full moon slightly obscured by clouds at times.To our suprise and pure delight a jagged white ball against the night sky suddenly appeared and within a fraction of a second a long green tail appeared trailing behind the jagged white ball. This writer also recalls a slight line of yellow on the perimeter of the green tail. Seperate from the end of the tail there was a small irregular dot of yellow. This extraordinary visual appeared to be travelling from north to south and dissappeared seemingly into the very nearby landscape. We wondered outloud if we had seen a comet at the end of its journey or perhaps a meteor. It seemed very close to our car and I said to my husband we almost left this planet in a fiery chariot. Do any astronomers know what we have seen? Bonnie R Thank you Bonnie! You saw a fireball meteor.
HWY 1 past Old Banff Coach Road at 10:20 PM
Hi, I also saw the bright green flash west of Calgary on November 11, 2011. I was driving west on Highway 1 and had just passed Old Banff Coach Road at 10:20 PM when I saw a very bright green flash coming down from the sky in a slightly north to south direction. It was coming down southwest of where I was. I also thought it might be a shooting star, but it was probably 10x brighter and distinctly green. Also, there was a bit of cloud cover that night, so it was bright enough for me to see it through the clouds. An amazing sight! -- Ricardo Cosentino Thank you Ricardo!

Kamloops BC Meteor Green-colored, ~ size of the moon ~1:20 am
I got to see the meteor in Kamloops BC last night at ~ 1:20 while driving home. Green-colored, ~ size of the moon and looked like it ended with lightning .It was amazing to see. Thanks for your website! - Lita G.
Kamloops BC, Canada Large Meteor ~1:20 am 14MAY2011
Guest806 (guest): A meteor was viewed in kamloops bc about 1:20am, and it looked like it collided with a part of the earth, as it burst upon impact. Very cool to watch! it was bigger than the moon.
Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada huge green fireball streaking across the sky between ~01:00-1:30
My name is Jeremy Brisbin and I live in kelowna British Columbia Canada. I am a security guard whom works graveshift and at approx. 0100-0130 on may 14 today I saw a huge green fireball streaking across the sky. It was most impressive for I have never seen such a thing.It looked like real green fire flying behind it. It flew past and disappeared behind the trees heading towards the mountain. Then there was a little flash then a huge one. Really big lit up the sky. It was amazing I turned the radio on right away expecting to here something but nothing? I came home raced onto castanet (local news) but nothing. When it flashed does this mean it hit the ground? Or is there any other people maybe local that I can report this to. I watch the show meteorite men and know these things are wanted maybe. I just need to know if I am supposed to report what I saw. It was truly amazing and mind bending and I can't believe it was green. GREEN I have never heard of that before.
Nelson, B.C.
piscesx: Nelson, B.C Canada. May 14th 2011. After 1AM sometime. I was sitting outside and the sky lit up and then saw a few bright flashes following that.Was with a group of people who all noticed and questioned what we just saw. Bothered me all day until i got home and looked it up. thought it might have been some weird kind of lighting even tho there were no clouds -Ana
Guest783 (guest): I saw it too, It was as big a moon falling down to earth! Scary but real!
The color of that thing was totally White and it ignited more light as it travelled down towards the earth. the ammount of light it generated was same as welding machine!! More like white moon light! it was also sparking like it had some kinda fuel in it!! or maybe thermite! end of the world in calgary i guess?
Grand Forks, BC

Innisfail, Alberta Bright green light 2:20 am 14MAY2011
Spotted while driving south on Hwy 2 about 5 minutes north of Innisfail, Alberta at approx. 2:20 AM on May 14. Bright green light that fell almost straight down towards the horizon. Cut through or just above some clouds and then seemed to burn out. This was my first sighting and it was just plain amazing!
Dr. Alan R. Hildebrand, PhD.
Coordinator of the Canadian Fireball Reporting Centre writes:
A bright fireball widely reported (Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Montana,
Idaho, Washington) on early Saturday morning, May 14, 2011 at approximately 08:18:44
UT (2:18 MDT or 1:18 PDT). Skies were cloudy over much of Alberta, BC, and western
Washington or many more reports would probably have been made despite the late hour.
Exact times are a bit in conflict. The camera was recorded by an all-sky camera from
the Cranbrook area (BC) with a spectacular record only damped by clouds late in
flight - recorded flight was between 5 and 6 seconds duration (unknown as yet if this
camera is calibrated). The fireball began high in the Cranbrook sky and apparently
travelled towards the WSW at a moderate incline although both azimuth and elevation angle are uncertain at this time. The fireball fragmented spectacularly near its end in basically two series of flashes (eye witnesses report two flashes). A camera in Calgary records these two flashes through clouds at approximately 8:18:47 and :48 UT which leads to fireball occurring from about 8:18:44 to :49, but all potential info on timing not yet sorted. An extraordinary thing
revealed by the Cranbrook recording is an early period of wake formation not
associated with flaring that ends at high altitude with fragmentation beginning at
lower altitude. Although somewhat obscured by clouds, fragments apparently continued
for roughly half second after last flare, and are indicative of surviving material to
fall as meteorites. A meteorite fall is also indicated by witnesses reporting
delayed booms from Cranbrook and Nelson, BC, and the fall area would be indicated
somewhere in vicinity of Nelson, although still uncertain by approx. 100 km (and
could be on US side of border still). This country is mountainous and forested in
large part with relatively narrow valleys with some cleared land and lakes occupying
valley bottoms. The described fireball characteristics and all-sky record indicate a
rock with an initial mass of order 100 kg. Should be lots of serendipitous videos
available in region and a good one to chase - i.e. good potential to determine
trajectory - although general area has a lot of tough ground to search for meteorites
(as most of BC is - spectacular scenery generally equals tough meteorite searching).

Coeur d'Alene, ID and Rathdrum, ID greenish-blue meteor ~1:19 am 14MAY2011
A friend and I saw the greenish-blue meteor that fell this morning (5/14/2011 at 1:19 AM PDT) North of the Idaho/Washington border in Canada.
We were seperated by about 10 miles - he was travelling north on Hwy 41 towards Rathdrum, ID and I was travelling northwest on Honeysuckle Ave. In Coeur d'Alene, ID. Using our observations we triangulated the approximate area where the meteor may have landed.
I would like to be contacted by other observers (especially from Canada) to get more lines of sight to possibly aid in recovery of pieces. I don't have a passport so I can't travel to Canada. John (email address on file)
Coeur d'Alene, ID
Guest934 (guest): Not sure how this works,not very computer savvy. Were you able to get my message about May 14th sighting near Coeur d'Alene, ID? My husband works nights and was on his way to work Sat.AM about between 12:30 and 1:30 PST.He had just left our house in Coeur d'Alene, ID when a bright, large flaming ball lit up the entire sky. It appeared to have entered the atmosphere very quickly and perhaps smashed into the ground somewhere near. He thought it might have been 5-15 miles away. Another car was on the road,also, and pulled over to watch it happen.They didn't get out of their cars. Am wondering if anyone else saw it or reported? Forgot to mention that it was so bright that it temporarily put out the photo sensitive street lights for a few minutes. hr said it was huge and didn't say how close he thought it was. I'm thinking he thought it was much closer than I estimated.Maybe just up the road.

May 14, 2011 1:20 am Nelson, British Columbia, Canada. The bright white light lasted for maybe 3 seconds then a big glowing ball flew across and down and disapeared after about 2 seconds....about one minute later I heard a low rumble...not sure if its related. -Colleen

Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada huge green fireball streaking across the sky between ~01:00-1:30
My name is Jeremy Brisbin and I live in kelowna British Columbia Canada. I am a security guard whom works graveshift and at approx. 0100-0130 on may 14 today I saw a huge green fireball streaking across the sky. It was most impressive for I have never seen such a thing.It looked like real green fire flying behind it. It flew past and disappeared behind the trees heading towards the mountain. Then there was a little flash then a huge one. Really big lit up the sky. It was amazing I turned the radio on right away expecting to here something but nothing? I came home raced onto castanet (local news) but nothing. When it flashed does this mean it hit the ground? Or is there any other people maybe local that I can report this to. I watch the show meteorite men and know these things are wanted maybe. I just need to know if I am supposed to report what I saw. It was truly amazing and mind bending and I can't believe it was green. GREEN I have never heard of that before.
Please get back too me with a suggestion thank you

Salmon Arm BC huge light with a long tail. ~1:20 am
Guest205 (guest): I saw the meteor in Salmon Arm BC around 1:20a.m. -was sitting at my computer and a huge light with a long tail.Was wondering if it hit the ground as it was still so big when it disappeared behind the hills to the south.Way, way bigger than anything I saw from the Perseides last August!East Kootenay's of BC, Canada
Guest126 (guest): At 1:20am May 14th in the East Kootenay's of BC, Canada, my brother viewed an event from his south-facing mountain-side home near Trail. He describes the very sudden appearance of an extremely bright white object -larger in appearance than the waxing Gibbous Moon. He was outside viewing the moon as it was beginning to set into the trees in the WNW. He states the object burned only brilliant white from his perspective, and that it lit up the entire area to day-light brightness for approximately 3 secondsNelson, B.C.
piscesx: Nelson, B.C Canada. May 14th 2011. After 1AM sometime. I was sitting outside and the sky lit up and then saw a few bright flashes following that.Was with a group of people who all noticed and questioned what we just saw. Bothered me all day until i got home and looked it up. thought it might have been some weird kind of lighting even tho there were no clouds -Ana
Guest783 (guest): I saw it too, It was as big a moon falling down to earth! Scary but real!
The color of that thing was totally White and it ignited more light as it travelled down towards the earth. the ammount of light it generated was same as welding machine!! More like white moon light! it was also sparking like it had some kinda fuel in it!! or maybe thermite! end of the world in calgary i guess?

Innisfail, Alberta Bright green light 2:20 am 14MAY2011
Spotted while driving south on Hwy 2 about 5 minutes north of Innisfail, Alberta at approx. 2:20 AM on May 14. Bright green light that fell almost straight down towards the horizon. Cut through or just above some clouds and then seemed to burn out. This was my first sighting and it was just plain amazing!
Cochrane AB fire ball ~2:08 am
A Meteor was seen in Cochrane alberta just outside of Calgary at approx: 2:08 am. It was a fire ball with a red streak behind it, happened incredibly fast. Looked as if it had landed in the glenbow school field. It lit up the sky and was very bright, looked like it went straight down. Didn't feel any movement or hear any bang so I'm assuming it hit somewhere eles.

Cochrane, Alberta 2:08 am
It passed cochrane alberta too, at 2:08 am. Bright red didn't make a noise or anything but lit up the sky pretty good. I wish the news would cover it.

Red Deer, Alberta bright greenish blue ball ~2:20 am
May 14th Approx 2:20 am. Red Deer, Alberta. Standing outside and happened to notice a fairly large bright greenish blue ball of light? that looked like it was on fire or glowing (hard to explain)...Happened so fast couldn't believe my eyes but it just appeared to be falling from the sky so fast...Couldn't hear anything but thought perhaps it hit the earth, it disappeared behind some buildings...CRAZIEST thing I've ever saw...And of course nobody was standing outside with me at the time so nobody believed me.

Spokane, Washington 1:15 am
Spokane, WA. Around 1:15AM I saw a bright flash in the northern sky that pulsed twice. Following that you could see what looked to be a meteor traveling from south to north. The whole event lasted only a second and made no sound.Dr. Alan R. Hildebrand, PhD.
Coordinator of the Canadian Fireball Reporting Centre writes:
A bright fireball widely reported (Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Montana,
Idaho, Washington) on early Saturday morning, May 14, 2011 at approximately 08:18:44
UT (2:18 MDT or 1:18 PDT). Skies were cloudy over much of Alberta, BC, and western
Washington or many more reports would probably have been made despite the late hour.
Exact times are a bit in conflict. The camera was recorded by an all-sky camera from
the Cranbrook area (BC) with a spectacular record only damped by clouds late in
flight - recorded flight was between 5 and 6 seconds duration (unknown as yet if this
camera is calibrated). The fireball began high in the Cranbrook sky and apparently
travelled towards the WSW at a moderate incline although both azimuth and elevation angle are uncertain at this time. The fireball fragmented spectacularly near its end in basically two series of flashes (eye witnesses report two flashes). A camera in Calgary records these two flashes through clouds at approximately 8:18:47 and :48 UT which leads to fireball occurring from about 8:18:44 to :49, but all potential info on timing not yet sorted. An extraordinary thing
revealed by the Cranbrook recording is an early period of wake formation not
associated with flaring that ends at high altitude with fragmentation beginning at
lower altitude. Although somewhat obscured by clouds, fragments apparently continued
for roughly half second after last flare, and are indicative of surviving material to
fall as meteorites. A meteorite fall is also indicated by witnesses reporting
delayed booms from Cranbrook and Nelson, BC, and the fall area would be indicated
somewhere in vicinity of Nelson, although still uncertain by approx. 100 km (and
could be on US side of border still). This country is mountainous and forested in
large part with relatively narrow valleys with some cleared land and lakes occupying
valley bottoms. The described fireball characteristics and all-sky record indicate a
rock with an initial mass of order 100 kg. Should be lots of serendipitous videos
available in region and a good one to chase - i.e. good potential to determine
trajectory - although general area has a lot of tough ground to search for meteorites
(as most of BC is - spectacular scenery generally equals tough meteorite searching).

Unknown object lights up Calgary's sky
Calgary Herald
March 31, 2009 9:35 AMComments (16)
Calgarians up in the early morning hours Tuesday say they saw an unknown, bright object fly across the city's sky.
The object appeared at around 6:30 a.m., according to witnesses reports. One account said the object was travelling roughly in a north-to-south direction east of the downtown core.
It is unclear at this point what the object was.
A Calgary police duty inspector said at about 7:44 a.m. that his department has not received any calls on the object.
One witness, Donna Thompson, described what she saw as "a meteor breaking up" in an e-mail sent to the Herald.
Thompson, who said she was driving on Highway 2 southbound between Olds and Calgary, said she saw the object at about 6:33 a.m. east of the highway. The flash lasted for about two seconds, Thompson said in her e-mail, before dispersing "like fireworks going off."
