Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-

21JUL2013 Millicent Todd Oshawa, Ontario, Canada 06:47am Ontario Canada 10 seconds North left to right I was facing North I was in a high rise apartment when suddenly I saw a flash in the sky and a bright red (like fire) falling from out of the clouds above a tall Hospital building 10 mins walk from here. The fire was falling steeply and the colour changed from wide to thinner and white it was squirly in shape by this time and it got thinner and thinne and fell steeply on the other side of the hospital Very red like fire and diminshed fast to a thinner white stream I was less than a 1/4 of a mile away and it fell behind the building but was really small by this time It all happened too quickly and unexpectedly to take a photo but my discription iis accurate 

21july13 Sandy Harriston, ontario, Canada I was driving near 5:45:00 4-5 seconds I was driving north east and saw it on my left going toward the earth in the same direction. Red ball with white behind it and a thick long green tail. It seemed close, like within a half hour drive away, but having never seen one before its hard to tell. It was daylight already so the green tail is what stood out Not sure It was startling to see one in the daylight. Spectacular. 

21JUL2013 Robert Toronto, ON, Canada 0535 EDT streak lasted approx 3 seconds Travelling North.  Yellow/White streek to NNW from West to East with approx 45 degree downward trajectory Yellow/white streak with small bright object in front of streak Very bright in dawn sky small object out in front of streak  none.

2012 THE Year of Meteors!

Belleville, Ontario, Canada Bolide Meteor 24NOV2011

Belleville, Ontario, Canada Bolide Meteor 02:30 am 24NOV2011
I saw this bolide on November 24th, 2011 at 0230 exactly.
I was in the City of Belleville in Ontario, Canada. At the time of the sighting I was traveling northbound on Sidney Street in a car, so I am unsure if there had been any noises or sounds during the sighting.
I have seen quite a few bolides before, as I work nights and am in a car driving all around constantly, but this one was quite alarming as it seemed to be traveling faster than any I have seen before. It was about 30-40 degrees above the horizon directly in front of me as I traveled straight north. The bolide started out at the top left of my view, it remained as what looked like a plane in the sky, a small-ish dot, but larger than a normal plane (Belleville is located 15 minutes away from Trenton, Ontario where our major air base is, there are all kinds of military aircrafts in the air all the time.). I for about half of it's travel distance it remained a tiny, bright light that slowly grew brighter before it burst into a bright cobalt blue shade and seemed to break into at least three, if not five pieces.
The entire thing may have lasted five or eight seconds, it was over quite quickly, though I have seen bolides burn out much quicker than this one did.
As for brightness, while it was still tiny and looked like a plane, it was as bright, or possibly a tiny bit brighter than Venus, but it seemed to lose a lot of the brightness after the initial combustion into the blue flames.
I was unable to take video or pictures of this, though I would suggest looking into the sky cameras Ottawa's Colleges have. I have seen many bolides around Belleville, and they are always captured on the cameras the universities use for study.
All in all, it was pretty darn cool! Forgot to make a wish though, rats. -Emily Thank you Emily!

Ontario, Canada Four Meteor Fireball Events 4NOV2011

Event 1: Also seen in Michigan.
Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Meteor 8:30 PM 4NOV2011
Fire ball or meteor seen in Richmond hill Ontario in north west direction approx. 8.30pm. -Maurice Thank you Maurice!

Kitchener, Ontario, Canada Lime Green Meteor Fireball  20:35 EST 4NOV2011
Facing West, south end of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada at 20:35 EST, I saw a very slow moving, bright lime green fireball descending nearly vertically down to the nearest tree line on the Western horizon. It was the biggest, brightest, slowest moving meteor I have ever seen. Now flashing or sparking, perhaps a very small trailing tail of light extending nearly perpendicular to the horizon.
I thought it might have been fireworks/flare, but after seeing other internet reports of same sighting at same time in my area, I believe it was the strangest fireball I have ever observed. -Kevin  Thank you Kevin!

Ontario, Canada ~8:36 PM 4NOV2011
I saw a meteor for the 3rd time in 3 years. The last 2 times are a while ago but the newest one happened tonight at around 8h36 pm over the 401 between thickson and stevenson (or if you want right in front of the oshawa go/viarail station. It was comimg down from the sky colored blue and very small looking and then suddenly extinguished. Because of the smoke trail you could tell it wasn't fireworks plus it was 1 singular light! The other 2 ones I saw was identical colored but different sizes. Now I think that's a meteorite or some debris falling from space? -Kim
 Thank you Kim!

Whitmore Lake, Michigan, USA
I was driving on the freeway in Michigan on 23 north. I had just passed Whitmore Lake MI when I saw a bright ball of white light falling from the sky. It looked as though it was coming right at me so I would say the direction was south. It lasted maybe 5 seconds and it disappeared. It was at 8:36PM, November 4, 2011, only know this because I immediately called my husband after I saw it and the time is on my phone. I had to research on the internet to figure out it was a meteorite, I have definitely never seen anything like it before. -Hodge  Thank you Mrs. Hodge!
Event 2:
Everett, Ontario Meteor Fireball ~9:40 PM 4NOV2011
I live in Everett, Ontario Canada and just saw a very large white/blue bright light rapidly go over the top of our neighbors home, and then I lost sight of it. I was waiting for a bang or rumble but didn't hear one. This happened at approx 9:40 pm nov4/11. Was this expected tonight? Regards,

Nepean (Ottawa), Ontario Canada Bright Green Fireball ~11:45 pm EST 25SEP2011
I live in Nepean, Ontario, a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario Canada. At about 11:45 p.m. EST on September 25, 2011, I took my dog out for a walk in front of my house, which overlooks an empty field. As I was standing across the street with my dog, I observed a very bright green fireball fall from the sky to the south east. It fell in a completely straight trajectory and lasted about 5 seconds before it appeared to reduce to sparks/cinders. I am unsure if this was a meteor as I don't recall hearing any news releases about meteor showers for this time of year. Anyways, I thought you might be interested. Thanks, Jamie Warren Thank you Jamie!


Hog Island, Tabor Point, Wanton, VT 11:43 pm 9 25 2011

Thank you Phaegeoux!


Montreal, Quebec Canada Meteor September 25th, at 11:50 p.m. EST
I was walking in Westmount Park at 11:50 about and I looked up and saw this huge fireball with a very long fiery tail. At the end of the tail you could see debris blowing up into nothingness. I have seen many meteors in my 52 years of living, but this was the biggest and weirdest one of all. just mainly because of the amount of exploding debris behind the long fiery tail.. It also seemed to be moving much slower than most other Meteors I have seen.
I am convinced it was not a shooting star at all. It was more like something falling and coming apart in the sky. Anyhow September 25th, at 11:50 p.m. EST -Paul Gallant  Thank you Paul!

Maidstone Lake,Vermont
About 11:45 at Maidstone lake,Vermont. Saw bright fireball,going northwest to southeast, white/yellow with blue too. Dark mass at front, fire tail ended w-sparks, lasted 3 seconds. Very impressive! -Mari  Thank you Mari!

Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont.
The bright meteor arrived at 23:45 (+/- 1 minute) pm and it was green, with a bit of red light on the front edge.  It was bright, way brighter than any planets observable. It was approximately going from west to east. -Zijian  Xie-Xie Nin!


North Attleboro, MA large green meteor 11:38 pm EST 9/25/2011
I was sitting on my porch here in North attleboro, MA smoking a cigarette when I saw what I am guessing to be a large green meteor. It was over my neighbors house going northward. The size to me looked to be that of a minivan. It had a light green glow outside that got darker as it went in. It was teardrop shaped. This occured around 11:38 pm EST 9/25/2011. I have been researching as to what it might have been since and came across your e-mail. It had to have been somewhat low flying as the glow was on my neighbor across the streets roof. There are no street lights in my area so saw it very clearly. There was no sound either which I thought odd. Figured I would shoot you an e-mail as it seems this might be what your tracking. 

from the mind of -Christopher L Burns  Thank you Christopher


East Greenbush NY 11:48PM 9/25/11

At about 11:48 last night I was walking my dog and saw a burning object to the Northeast from my location travel from left to right. Weather conditions were very hazy as a heavy fog was setting in. It was low and traveled above the Horizon line changing from blue to green to red. What a fantastic sight! We had just been discussing these on Saturday night as I had seen one 6 Months ago that was crackling and popping as it traveled. Weird that I see an impressive one the next night. What are these Meteors? -Daniel F Bazinet  Thank you Daniel!

Corinth, NY
I saw the meteor last night at around 11:45pm, I was driving home on route 9N in Corinth, NY. It started small at first, and I thought it was just an average shooting star. As it travelled it got much bigger, and I could see all different colors in the tail and what looked like sparks flying off it. It lasted between 5 and 10 seconds, and traveled in a south-east direction. -Nicole  

Thank you Nicole!


Richmond, Maine Meteor With Sound ~11:55 PM Sept. 25 

Loud noise as something passed overhead, a roar loud as thunder that I could feel in my body like a car stereo with realy loud bass.I ran outside and saw a red light up in the sky then nothing as the tall trees obscured my view. The sound was incredible and had a low-frequency grind/rumble that cycled every few seconds even after the main noise had died away minutes after the comet passed. I had some friends in south Gardiner who hear it at the same time.It was going northeast to southwest. I am trying to find people around here who saw it better. Up north in someone saw it in West Paris, Maine at 11:40, about ten minutes before me. Other people felt ground tremors up in Bangor, Maine at 11:40 and then witnessed a fireball. Are we having fun yet?
Pete Lund -Thank you Pete!

Burlington, Ontario, Canada Meteor Fireball ~10pm 1SEP2011

Burlington Ontario / Canada Meteor Fireball ~10pm 1SEP2011
I was sitting on my balcony in Burlington Ontario / Canada at about 10pm Sept. 1,2011 and saw a fireball or meteor.
It was moving rather slow for it to be falling from such a great distance. It appeared to be rather large and white in color. I was facing west towards Hamilton, Ontario and it apeared to be about 200 km away. It definately looks as though it landed on earth. It was rather bright and seemd a decent size considering the distance away. I saw something like this about 22 years ago when I was living in Oakville, Ontario
