Saw one single fairly large meteorite fly across the western sky this morning at around 5:20am. It was a bright fireball with a trailing streak and then you could see crackles of fire as it burned up. Lasted around 2 to 3 seconds. - Lee R. Thank you Lee!

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
