Greenside, Johannesburg, South Africa Meteor ~7:00 pm 20NOV2011
At about 7pm on Sunday 20 November 2011, we saw a large bright fiery ball in Johannesburg, South Africa, we were in Greenside, Johannesburg CBD and it was moving very slow in a North-West direction, it almost looked like a plane on fire, saw it for about 10-15 seconds, but couldn't follow it anymore as it disappeared behind a building. So amazing! Thanks -Danielle Thank you Danielle!

Magaliesburg , Johannesburg, South Africa Meteor 18NOV2011
Between about 10pm - 12pm (didn't think of looking at the exact time) on Friday evening 18th November we saw a bright light that looked like a oversized shooting star with a tail of smoke behind it(it looked like smoke). Lasted about 3-4 seconds. When it died out you could still see the trail of "smoke" for about 10 seconds after. Kind Regards, Jaydee Thank you Jaydee!

Johannesburg, South Africa Meteor 16NOV2011
Johannesburg, South Africa Meteor ~8:00 pm 16NOV2011
At about 8pm on 16NOV2011 in Johannesburg, South Africa, saw an incredible Bright white - almost yellowish I would say... Just very very bright.meteor? shooting star? something... very bright light, in what may have been the eastern part of the sky. Have seen many shooting stars but nothing so spectacular - and in the middle of a city, with loads of ambient light. What was this?? We thought maybe a satellite burning up on re-entry? Or perhaps a bit of the Leonid meteor shower that arrived 'early'?! Thoughts and info would be really appreciated! Best wishes, Jane Thank you Jane!
