METEORS EXPLODES AND ROCKS EARTH
Reno Evening Gazette
Reno, NV
May 12, 1922
Richmond, Va., May 12 - With a detonation that was heard forty miles away, a meteor appeared to fall to earth some distance north of Lawrenceville at about 11:15 last (night), according to reports reaching here. The phenomenon was said to have rocked the earth not unlike an earthquake, shaking houses and awakening residents of Lawrenceville. The countryside for miles around, it was said, was lighted up as bright as midday, and the meteor emitted a swishing sound as it hurled through space.
  Reports reaching Norfolk said the meteor exploded with a force that shook houses and broke windows in and around that community. The flash of the meteor was plainly seen at Norfolk, 100 miles each of where it is estimated to have fallen.

In spite of several of several newspapers posting today about "this day in history", I cannot locate anywhere an actual newspaper story about the "May 12, 1922 – A 20-ton meteorite lands near Blackstone, Virginia, USA"  -LunarMeteoriteHunter

research note- status unconfirmed
1922 _ 12 MAY: A 20.3-tonne/20-ton meteorite lands in a field near Blackstone, Virginia, leaving a 46 sq m/500 sq ft hole in the ground.

Concord, North Carolina, USA Meteor 25NOV2011

Concord, North Carolina, USA Meteor Approx. 1830 EDT 25NOV2011
Pulled into my driveway and saw about 8 deer in the field. Pulled up with my 5 y/o in backseat and shined my headlights on them to watch. About 5 minutes into watching them graze we saw an object heading earthbound on an angle traveling from NE to SW and losing altitude. The object had a sparkling vibrant blue glow that appeared to continue until it was below tree level from my vantage point, so I’m not sure when it lost illumination.  Glad I took a moment to let my 5 y/o watch the deer graze as this was one of the most beautiful shooting stars/meteorites that I’ve seen in my 42 years, and I was able to share it with my daughter. Thanks, Jerry & Aryanne.  Thank You!

Crawfordville, Florida

At 5:15 this morning as I was driving to work I saw something streaking thru the sky. It was still dark and I watched go from west to East. I was at the crossroad Crawfordville Highway and Bloxham Cuttoff. Flames were coming out of the back. I thought it was a plane crash. I called the airport and police and they had not had any reports. There were cars behind me
so I was not the only one to see this.-Mary Merchant Thank You Mary!

Columbus, GA
At around 5:20 AM EDT on 15 June I witnessed a large white / greenish fire ball streak across the sky at Fort Benning in Columbus GA. It was visible for several seconds and appeared to be traveling in a southern direction. Sparks and burning particles were clearly visible falling off of the Meteor. It was the brightest thing I have ever seen in a dark sky, far more bright then a full moon.-Brian  Thank you Brian!


Montevallo, AL about 4:20 am (?)
There is an old Alabama Power building in Montevallo, AL that my friends and i were exploring. We got on the roof and i sat and stared out towards the south west. i saw a green ball of light falling from the sky. it had a giant tail of green as well. this was the biggest meteorite i had ever seen. it lasted about 5 seconds and traveled from high in the south west sky towards low in the south east sky. it was about 4:20 in the morning. later on that day i met up with my boyfriend; he had seen it too, while he was on his way to work. -Jessica



Fanlew, Florida
I was on my way to work Weds. morning at 5:20 a.m. when a huge bright blue ball came flying past at an incredible speed. I live in southern Jefferson county Fla. in a small community named Fanlew, way out in the woods so to see something so spectacular was a little frightening at first but then became amazing. I feel that this may have been a once in a lifetime event and am so glad that I got the chance to see it firsthand. -Kaye  Thank you Kaye!



New Bern, NC
In the evening on wed,June 15 2011 a meteor streaked across the northern sky. It lasted under two seconds,however it was very brilliant and clearly visible to the naked eye here in New Bern, NC. pieces of the meteor broke off of the main fireball as it entered the atmosphere. A very exciting sighting. Many of the residents in the area were present as though there was for warning of the meteors arrival. -D. Tallman
