Rockville Centre, NY Meteor 9:59 EST 7NOV2011
I wasn't even looking towards the sky intentionally tonight... I was just walking my dog at about 9:59 PM EST here in Rockville Centre, NY on Long Island. There was a very bright meteor that just popped out at me.... It went so low that it descended beneath the tree line... it was still glowing.. I kept telling myself it had to have been a firework... but I know what meteors look like from my limited 6 credits of astronomy in college.  WOW. I couldn't believe it - so I found your website. It was moving from NW to SE if that helps verify or debunk what I saw. Thanks!!-Jim O'Brien
