MBIQ Indicates Meteor Event Over Minnesota, Ohio, Manitoba and Ontario 27AUG2011



Timmins, Ontario Meteor aug 27th 2011 9:45/9:50 pm eastern    A few of us were outside in our front yard at about 9:50 pm eastern, and from the northeast over our heads was a big ball of light that looked like it was on fire. Someone described it like a hot air balloon pulling its string. The ball flew over our houses and slowly got smaller and smaller until it just disappeared (within 3 minutes). The Ball was totally orange. Then about 10 minutes later we saw this very bright “star” which was the size of three stars combined zoom in the sky(about 1’-2 minutes). It just appeared and disappeared. After that there were 3 more bright lights that zoomed by (1 minutes from when it starts to when it disappears).
We were in our front yard on Martin Ave. It was coming from the North east.
Then we saw these two girls walking down the street and when we asked them if they saw anything they just heard a large bang and saw the other white lights sway by.
-Amber  Thank you Amber for your kind report!
