Eyewitness to meteor on 11/14/2010 6:30 AM over Silver Spring, MD
I saw the meteor at 6:30 A.M. on 11/14. The sky was a beautiful pink color with the sun lighting up the clouds in the east from below. The sun had either just risen or was about to rise. I was walking south near 14400 Fairdale Rd, Silver Spring, Md 20905. The meteor was traveling east to west in a “smear” of 3 - 5 glowing balls at about 30 degrees above the horizon line. It was less than 10 seconds, possibly as little as 5 from the start of the event to the end. The event covered a good 30 – 40 degree swath of sky. The meteor burned out, very evenly, with a burning jet behind the main mass, until completely gone. The pink clouds and blue sky contrasted the bright green color of the meteor (it was the color of copper burning under a bunsen burner).
