Monroe, Ohio 8NOV2010
"I cannot believe the Bolide that I saw this morning at 4:20 or 4:25AM, I was outside
sitting on my daughters deck drinking coffee in the cold,(waiting to go hunting) when looking south. The bigest, brighest "slow moving" meteor I have ever seen came out of the western
sky and headed south east. I was in Monroe Ohio, which is between Cincinnati and Dayton. It came in very low in the sky! with sparks trailing. As it was 10 to 15 degrees above the Horizon there was a Very Bright Flash that lit up the sky and it looked like the front or bottom blew out as it fragmented.
At this Time it entered the city sky light of west Chester, Ohio which is directly south of Monroe, and I lost sight of it complety. This is the 1st one like this I have ever seen and will never forget it. It was far enough away that I heard no sound.
There must be alot people traveling south on I-75 and I-71 who saw this, so we
should hear more reports today.
Also, I now see why some people think there seeing a jet on fire, It was moving
at the speed you would think a jet would. MY 1ST, WAY TOO COOL!" - DAVE M. (contact info)

LaVergne, TN 7NOV2010
"My wife texted me at work and said she saw either a meteor or a plane crash while plugging in our christmas lights also and she said she saw a ball of fire fall from the sky from about northwest to east at about 7:30 pm central time today (November 7, 2010). So I was on google for about 2 hours before I found your post. We live in LaVergne, TN about 15 minutes south of Nashville." -- Douglas (contact info)

Kingman AZ Meteor? 7NOV2010
"I live in Kingman, AZ. I went outside to look at my Husband`s christmas lights he was turning them on for the full impact. I looked up in the sky and saw something like a falling star or meteor it was moving from the north falling down towards the east it was the largest thing I have seen and it seemed pretty slow although it was moving pretty fast.

Georgia 7NOV2010 (georgia/ south carolina border)
"I saw a white fireball in the sky on Sun Nov 8, 2010. It was approximately 7:35 pm eastern standard time. The light was at the georgia/ south carolina border. I was traveling south on I-95, at first I thought it was a plane crashing, but there was no explosion. I guess it was a meteor. It lasted only about 10 seconds, It was a little scary though."
