Nashua, NH Meteor? 18:30 EST 24NOV2011
Noticed a small dimly lit but discernable to naked eye, object traveling slowly from east towards west. At first I thought it was a satellite, then it accelerated towards the western horizon through Cygnus at a VERY high rate of speed! The object never illuminated any brighter and did not have a tail/plasma. Bolide? Near Earth Object? -DLT Thank you!

Belleville, Ontario, Canada Bolide Meteor 24NOV2011
Belleville, Ontario, Canada Bolide Meteor 02:30 am 24NOV2011
I saw this bolide on November 24th, 2011 at 0230 exactly.
I was in the City of Belleville in Ontario, Canada. At the time of the sighting I was traveling northbound on Sidney Street in a car, so I am unsure if there had been any noises or sounds during the sighting.
I have seen quite a few bolides before, as I work nights and am in a car driving all around constantly, but this one was quite alarming as it seemed to be traveling faster than any I have seen before. It was about 30-40 degrees above the horizon directly in front of me as I traveled straight north. The bolide started out at the top left of my view, it remained as what looked like a plane in the sky, a small-ish dot, but larger than a normal plane (Belleville is located 15 minutes away from Trenton, Ontario where our major air base is, there are all kinds of military aircrafts in the air all the time.). I for about half of it's travel distance it remained a tiny, bright light that slowly grew brighter before it burst into a bright cobalt blue shade and seemed to break into at least three, if not five pieces.
The entire thing may have lasted five or eight seconds, it was over quite quickly, though I have seen bolides burn out much quicker than this one did.
As for brightness, while it was still tiny and looked like a plane, it was as bright, or possibly a tiny bit brighter than Venus, but it seemed to lose a lot of the brightness after the initial combustion into the blue flames.
I was unable to take video or pictures of this, though I would suggest looking into the sky cameras Ottawa's Colleges have. I have seen many bolides around Belleville, and they are always captured on the cameras the universities use for study.
All in all, it was pretty darn cool! Forgot to make a wish though, rats. -Emily Thank you Emily!

Western Queensland, Australia Bolide Meteor? 23NOV2011
Western Queensland, Australia Bolide Meteor? 0450 Local Queensland Time 23NOV2011
I was airborne flying over Western Queensland last night, at approximately 1850 UTS or 0450 Local Queensland Time on the morning of the 23/11/11. I and several other aircraft in the area observed a very bright series of lights descending in the sky in a cluster at the time. The brightest light was leading the cluster, and there were maybe 10 or 12 smaller lights following. We were facing south east at the time, and the object seemed to be descending from a higher altitude overhead our position to a point directly in front of us at a lower altitude. The object was moving very slow, significantly slower than any shooting star I have ever seen. The lights were visible for about two or three minutes. Several minutes later as the sun began to rise, a smoke trail could be seen that followed the path of the object. It extended from a position just south of Mount Isa and continued south east for several hundred miles towards Charleville, although the trail had dissipated by the time our aircraft had passed Charleville. We were at an altitude of 37000ft and the trail was significantly higher than us. I hope this helps!-Mat Thank you Mat!

Hemsedal, Norway Meteor ~17:00 Local 21NOV2011
I live in Hemsedal, Norway. Yesterday around 17.00 a clock I saw a object flying over the sky. It lokked like a shooting star but it seemed to be very close to earth with a long, bright, fire looking tail. I was looking west when I saw the object. I was not looking at the sky at first, but the big "tail" took my attention. The date was 21/11 - 2011. At, 17.00 (5.00 in the afternoon, Stockholm time) After it got my attention I could look at it for about 3 seconds... So maybe all together for 5-6 seconds. It was travelig at less speed then a shooting star. What could this be? Do you have any information about this? Thank you =) Lisa N Thank you Lisa!

Upton, MA Meteor 21NOV2011
Upton, MA Meteor ~11:28 pm EST 21NOV2011
On 11/21/11 approximately 11:28 pm I saw a low meteor. It was
going east to west with a 1/4 moon magnitude (very bright) green and
yellow. I think this is copper and sodium so perhaps it was satellite
or booster rocket debris burning up on reentry. It lasted 2 to 2.5
seconds and I wish I had my camera or cell phone. It was very wide so
I think it was low and no sound. I am in Upton, MA 42.17 N -71.61 W. Regards,
Dennis Kloepping Thank you Dennis!

On 11/21/11 approximately 11:28 pm I saw a low meteor. It was
going east to west with a 1/4 moon magnitude (very bright) green and
yellow. I think this is copper and sodium so perhaps it was satellite
or booster rocket debris burning up on reentry. It lasted 2 to 2.5
seconds and I wish I had my camera or cell phone. It was very wide so
I think it was low and no sound. I am in Upton, MA 42.17 N -71.61 W. Regards,
Dennis Kloepping Thank you Dennis!

Carberry, Manitoba, Canada Four Meteors 21NOV2011
Carberry, Manitoba, Canada Four Meteors ~8:30 pm CST 21NOV2011
Last night around 8:30 pm central time, November 21, 2011 my husband and I witnessed four meteors about 10 miles south of Carberry, Manitoba, Canada on the number 5 highway. They were very bright heading southeast. These meteors very extremely bright. The first two appeared then
after 5 minutes two more appeared. These are the brightest we have ever seen. They burned out or landed before they reached us. We could not determine how far they were.

Las Vegas, Nevada Green Meteor 21NOV2011
Las Vegas, NV. Green Luminous Meteor 3-4 second Duration between 7:15-7:20 pm 21NOV2011
It's now 7:32pm PST in Las Vegas, NV. I was out back on my patio, facing east when I saw a pale green luminous ball shoot across the sky, west to east. It was larger than all bodies visible in the night sky, except the moon. My best estimation would be approximately 1/10 size of a full moon, perhaps slightly larger. I was visible for about 3 or 4 seconds before it vanished in the eastern horizon. There was little or no visible "tail" which seemed immediately odd to me. There was no flashing, twinkling or other fluctuation in it's luminosity or intensity. This likely happened between 7:15 & 7:20pm. Well wishes,~Kim C. Harper Thank you Kim!
