Pownal, ME, blue/green fireball between 8:30 and 9:30pm EST on Saturday, March 5
In Pownal, ME, between 8:30 and 9:30pm on Saturday, March 5, I observed a blue/green fireball, shaped somewhat like a little glass fuse, traveling (I think) from east to west for 3 to 4 seconds, just a bit above tree level. -Louise Poppema
Gray, Maine white-Orange-Green meteor 8:30 pm EST 5MAR2011
Spring City, PA. bright flourescent green ball ~ 8p.m 5MAR2011
On March 5th about 8p.m. in Spring City, PA. my son, Shane and I watched this bright flourescent green ball with a long tail travel across the sky kind of east to west approx. 15 degrees up. It lasted 3-4 seconds. He looked at me and said I believe in aliens. I never saw a comet like that it was very bright. I was waiting to hear a bang thinking it was fireworks, but couldn't have been by the distance and direction it traveled. Truly was amazing! - Mike
Buxton/Hollis Maine blue light streak across the sky 7:30 PM EST 5MAR2011
I live in Buxton/Hollis Maine. I was driving to drop off my friend at about 7:30 PM when I saw a bright blue light streak across the sky. I only saw it for about 2 seconds because it was moving so fast. I couldn't tell how high up it was but it wasn't a 'shooting star' because it was under the clouds and it lit up the clouds above it. Either a meteorite or a UFO. Hoping more people report it so my friends believe me. :) -Detective Jankins
southern NH (Windham near I-93 exit 3) bright green fireball 7:20pm EST 5MAR2011
March 5, 2011 approx 7:20pm (last night) in southern NH (Windham near I-93 exit 3) - saw bright green fireball in the northern ski just at then below cloud ceiling traveling west, possibly northwest (descent 15-degrees). It was so bright it lit up the night sky, but I lost visual in the woods after few seconds - possibly landed? - Anon.
bright ball of light in sky
So happy to find others who saw the bright light in the sky last night. I live in Fremont, NH and about 7:20 saw out the living room window a bright ball streaking across the sky in a northwest direction. It was much too large to be a star. I lost it behind the trees. I watched the news last night and this morning thinking someone else must have seen it.
