We saw a fireball speed across the sky in a S to S/E direction. In the direction of the ocean and Sidney Spit. It was bright orange and red and sped low across the sky. -Michael F. Thank you Michael!

Victoria, BC Canada Meteor 7:38 PST 15NOV2011
At 7:38 pm on Tuesday, November 15th, I watched a large whitish blue fireball cross the sky almost horizontally from north west to south east. It lasted about 5 seconds and then completely disappeared. At first it looked like a large shining satellite and then grew larger and brighter like a welder's torch. The size of the light before it disappeared was as big as a streetlight from about 300 feet. It was beautiful, astonishing and strange all at once. We thought it may have been space junk burning up.-Pauline James  Thank you Pauline!

Enumclaw, Washington Fireball Meteor ~7:55 pm PST 15NOV2011
Saw the fireball last night, Nov. 15, 2011 at about 7:55pm. It was huge and VERY close! The colors were greens, blues, oranges, white, reds and a purple color; and the tail was the same colors and was almost as wide as the fireball itself. It was headed in a southeasterly direction. I couldn't hear anything but every single dog around was barking - they must have been able to hear something. A friend Facebooked me and said she saw it over Richland, Washington as well.  We live in Enumclaw, Washington (just outside Seattle) and I saw a HUGE fireball with a long tail shooting across the sky in a southeasterly direction. It was awesome and a bit scary, way too close! I've never seen anything like it! I'm so excited about seeing it - glad I was outside at the right time! Does anyone know where it hit?
I saw something similar back in 1989 while living in Sun Valley, Idaho. It wasn't this big, or close though. AWESOME!!!!-Dee Ann  Thank you Dee Ann!
