Germantown, MD Massive Red Glow ~9:45 PM Eastern
Glancing up while standing on my deck at about 9:45pm in Germantown, MD, stretching across almost 50% of my view of the sky was a massive, streaking, almost completely deep red glowing light coming from the North. There were about a dozen illuminated street lights and the lights of neighbors' patios on as well and was by no means very dark outside. The sky was very clear with no clouds, but I live in a city-suburb that puts off light and doesn't often provide for ideal views of the night sky. Absolutely and incredibly stunning to have such a show as tonight from my own patio here in Maryland. Faded away almost as quickly as I saw it, long enough to only phone only one family member 20 miles away who caught a glimpse as it disappeared.-Rob Lynn
Thank you Rob!
I wasn`t in the same path area as the meteor but off in the same diretion saw it around 930 and it was visible for a little over a minute and seemed to grow larger then go away. -Adam G.
Columbia, South Carolina ~9:30 PM
Hey quick question what could explain a reddish fog like haze in the sky just notice this five minutes ago and now it is gone, could this be related to the fireball from earlier?I wasn`t in the same path area as the meteor but off in the same diretion saw it around 930 and it was visible for a little over a minute and seemed to grow larger then go away. -Adam G.
Thank you Adam!

Witnessed vivid red sky in Dallastown PA between 9:30 - 9:45 EST. Sky was a vivid red in two separate areas, one area had streaks of white light (almost like evaporation lines), vivid red faded to light pink and disappeared within 10-15 minutes. Appeared in eastern sky -Denise

Espyville, PA ~9:20-9:50 PM
Hello, My name is Rachell I witnessed something tonight with my children as we were driving in the car home. We live in Espyville pa just on the ohio border, about 40 min from lake erie. While traveling north on Lynn Rd in espyville my daughters and I saw this thick green band across the lower part of the sky, my daughter said maybe its the milky way and I said maybe it was thick fog rolling in, s we drove about 100 yards all of a sudden we the sky lite up with what looked like blood read beams of light across the sky this lasted for about 30 min eventually it disapeared over lake erie way.This was about 9:20 eastern standard time and lasted till about ten mins to ten. I googled this on the internet as soon as I got home and found your site, and it said youd like to hear from anyone who saw this and what they saw. So I am emailing what we saw. I even went and picked up my friend and drove her back the same way we had seen it and she could see the faint red color that was disappearing . My older daughter and I were amazed by this, but at the same time it freaked my youngest out and she explained she was scared and wanted us to get back in the car. I have to admit, alot of things went through our minds as we tried to rashionalize what we were seeing. I have never in my life saw something like this! It was amazing but scary at the same time. Then just after the blood color sky faded I witnessed two shooting stars in the same area the color had faded over. So by now you can imagine we are freaked out thinking to myself " is the sky on fire and ready to fall" I know that sounds crazy but all of that was crazy to witness. Thank you for your time, I hope our encounter of what we saaw and the time we saw it helps your research.Sincerly, Rachell Thank you Rachell!
SpaceWeather.Com reports:
CME IMPACT: A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on Oct. 24th around 1800 UT (2 pm EDT). The impact strongly compressed our planet's magnetosphere and may have exposed geosynchronous satellites to solar wind plasma. Mild to moderate geomagnetic storms are possible in the hours ahead as Earth's magnetic field continues to reverberate from the hit. Sky watchers in Scandinavia, Canada, and northern-tier US States should be alert for auroras, especially during the hours around local midnight. Check http://spaceweather.com for updates.
