Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-
01NOV2014 Chris Polnick Rusk texas USA 06:30 am cst 3 seconds Facing north the meteor travelled from left to right (traveling east) Bright green tail, very long As bright as the moon or brighter Exploded into at least 6 pieces then the small pieces disappeared behind the tree tops Noticed bright light through treetops to my left. Looked up as the meteor passed into clear view over a pasture. There was a very large/wide flaming green tail. Just before going low enough to be obscured by tree tops the meteor exploded and I was able to count at least 6 flaming pieces before it went behind trees. I thought I may have heard a faint sound as the meteor passed over but can't say for sure the sound was the meteor. This meteor was unlike any I have witnessed and was so large it have me goosebumps.
