France daytime fireball, July 12th, 06 h34 UT
A French amateur astronomer witnessed a bright daytime fireball on July
12th, 06 h34 UT, from his car, while he was driving close to
Aix-en-Provence (South-Eastern France, 43°30' N, 005°27' E) .
I didn't receive any other reports on it yet, and was wondering if anybody
had heard, seen, or recorded it from Italy or Switzerland. According to
the witness, it appeared N or NNE from his position (I'm waiting for
further information on the real trajectory). The fireball dazzled him, and
took a green, and then red color, followed by an orange train.
Thanks in advance for your help and answers!

Hi , tho I don't have video of the fire ball , I did witness it all the way from Sea Side N.J. Even from here it lit up the night sky casting shadows . I was lucky enough to witness the entire event. My girlfriend and I watched as it appeared to break up, as it headed from east to west. It was the brightest , longest lasting meteor I have ever seen in my life . It really was amazing. I hope this might help you pin down where it may have landed. [address]

Hello. We (Myself, my son and a friend) witnessed this large fireball go over our house in Alexandria Virginia last night around 10 ish. We did not get videos.. at first we thought it was some kind of fire works but it was too big and moved very fast. It seemed to move from east to north west. We checked the local news but no reports. I can't believe more people did not see this.

I saw a meteor come into our atmosphere last night at approximately 10:30pm. I saw which direction it went from my vantage point in Point of Rocks, MD. It was quite large actually and a little scary looking. It was green and then went to orange and red.
Thanks, Lisa

I had the best meteorite experience in my life today at 9:58 pm. I saw a huge fireball for about 5 seconds. I was in Williamsport, MD. It came from the SE and headed NW. My first thought was who is shining a spotlight in the field? I then looked right, and in the second that I looked right I heard a loud boom, and sizzle like bacon. The boom was so loud that it made me jump! I saw stones shedding off this. I saw yellow , green, and white. I saw the dark flight for a second or so; it was like white pin dots. I did some research and it seems to been the brightest in White Hall, MD; maybe PA. I think I am less than 100 miles from the strewnfield.

Colorado Bright Fireball 23JUN2010 25JUN2010
I recorded a very bright fireball (mag -13) over Colorado on June 23 at UT
08:49. The radiant of this event was within my measurement error of the
radiant of the June Lyrid shower, which is suggested by the IMO as a
"possible source", and seems to have been more active in the 1960s. I
obtained an initial velocity of 47 km/s, which is high compared with the IMO
estimate of 31 km/s (I don't know how that speed was obtained).
In any case, this is an interesting fireball that fragmented explosively at
a height of 53 km. I have posted a report at
http://www.cloudbait.com/science/fireball20100623.html ; be sure to check
the nice videos from two of my allsky cameras. Tom Ashcraft also caught this
on his allsky camera in New Mexico, over 400 km to the south.
Be sure to view the videos- the terminal explosion is very impressive.

A ~600 gram meteorite fell about 15 meters from a ranch hand in Varre-Sai, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil on June 19, 2010. The images show the meteorite and how it was found (though it was picked up first, and then replaced for the TV camera). The person talking to the reporter is Prof. Marcelo Souza, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense, in Campos. The interview will be aired on Brazilian TV today.
Near Hit!
There is an interesting follow-up to the daylight meteor fireball in Brazil of June 19, 2010. At about 21.00 UT, a ranch hand (name withheld) saw the fireball and heard explosions, after which something fell about 15 meters away from him in a pasture. He walked over to the spot and picked up a 600 gram meteorite that had just fallen from the sky. He saw others fall at about the same time nearby but hasn't been able to find them yet. He commented that the air had a "strong smell of iron".
The meteorite appears to be an ordinary chondrite with both primary and secondary fusion crust. I expect several more meteorites to be found from this fall based upon eyewitness reports. The local university and others will be joining the hunt today and in the coming days; stay tuned-in for more.
Have information about this meteorite fall or others? Please email drtanuki@gmail.com
