Goleta California 9:25 pm 4-14-2011
Hi, I just came across your blog searching the web just wondering if anyone had seen what I just had. My husband and I saw a bright burning flame ease its way across the sky. It looked like there were flames trailing it it was a bright amber color in the beginning and then as it faded became more white even blue/greenish until it seemingly burnt out leaving our sight with two bright flashes. It did not shoot fast across the sky like most other "Shooting Stars" but rather glided through the air for about 2 whole minutes spanning almost a 180 degree eyeshot. Anyways, it was magical and amazing and I've never seen anything like it, and thought that you people/experts might know more about what it was. viewed in Goleta California 4-14-2011 9:25 pm Thanks!

Studio City, CA 19604. Saw it around 9:45pm PDT from Studio City, CA 19604.
Sitting on condo porch looking southward. Watched object travel from West to East. Color appeared to be orangish. Small spherical object in center with a halo of same color favoring the leading edge. No trail otherwise. Watched object for 5 to 7 seconds, then it disappeared in the clouds, but reappeared for 1 or 2 seconds before vanishing entirely.

Laguna Beach, CA Orange Red Fireball 9:30pm(PDT)My brother and I were at the beach tonight in Laguna Beach, CA; we witnessed a orange and red fireball starting on the far right hand side of the horizon rise toward the left in a large arch, ending a little on the our left as we were facing straight west toward the ocean. It rose steadily and shook visibly at times until it got to its brightest point and fishtailed so we could see two tails as it burned off. The entire thing lasted approximately 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and occured around 9:30pm(PST). We would love to know more about what it was we witnessed and are very excited to hear back.

I think it was around 9:30pm as I was walking out to my car facing south. I looked up into the sky, and from the West I saw a huge red "star" at first glance. At second glance, it appeared to be MOVING and became a more deep red color. Then it grew a tail that became a little longer over the long seconds. It was slow moving and glided across the sky just south of the moon. My boyfriend and I watched in amazement and tried to record it but our phones were unable to capture it clearly. It was slow moving and began to fade, as did the tail, then disappeared into a cloud. Then there were a few bright glares and it was gone. We thought it was a comet, but we're still not sure. Amazing to witness! -Raianna

Hello, around 9:25 PM I saw a large fireball heading south/south east.
It was visible for over a minute. It was slow moving and at first I thought it was an airplane that was taking the turn east like other planes just taking off from LAX. Except that it was bright orange. It then headed southeast over land and finally appeared to burn out over the South Bay/Palos Verdes area. Very bright and beautiful. -Jack

I was walking around town when i saw an orange object going across the sky with an extremely wide amber/peachish colored trail behind it going from west to east, i only saw it for a brief period of time, it was gone by the time i hit the camera function on my phone, and when it disappeared, a few seconds later it reappeared for a second without the trail and disapeared completely. - Dan Smith

Santa Barbara, CA
Tonight, I witnessed something beautiful.
In the southern sky off the coast of Santa Barbara, CA, an orange ball of light began descending. It was large. So large my body reacted in fear, while my mind reacted in wonder.
It lasted no more than fifteen seconds. Or maybe slighty more, I don't remember.
This thing existed, from the point of view of at least one observer. Confirmation would be nice.
Sincerely, An observer - David

Yes, my fiancee and I were driving into los angeles and I saw a red streak across the sky, i t looked like darth vaders light saber, it was bright, then it looked like plane lights for a second, the the tail came back fatter and cloudier, then it dissaperred and reappered and then finally it was gone, one of the coolest things I've ever seen in the night sky!!!! -Keyonne
Palm Desert, CA
Glad to see I'm not the only one who witnessed this incredible event! I observed what I would describe as a bright orangish red shooting star travel from west to east in the southern sky viewing from my location in Palm Desert, CA the time was 9:28 PM PDST. The object seemed to be moving slower than any meteor I have ever seen, and it seemed to have a plume or glowing field around it. Its trajectory was very horizontal and it dissipated and seemed to reappear a few seconds later in a few red flashes and that was it. - N.T
Santa Barbara, CA
I was walking toward my house north, when I look up over my roof, and I said to myself that a bright colored street light, I took maybe one more step, and came back outside, and I said thats a comet, first one I ever saw. It was a wonderful orange color and it was moving maybe southwest, I called my soon to brother in law, and we watch it together, I wanna say for a minute, but it felt like 10 minutes. It had a long trail, we cross the street, because my street has big trees, and finally it got dimmer and dimmer and disappered. Maybe a half hour ago. Awesome! -Gregory M.

Descanso, Ca
Hello, I came across this site and saw exactly what was described already. I live in Descanso, Ca (San Diego East County). My girlfriend and I both saw a slow moving, amber/redish object with a fading tail behind it. after watching it travel nearly 180 degrees across the sky it disappeared and then seemed to burst into red before disappearing completely. The entire event took nearly two minutes and had no sound. it was nothing like any falling star we have ever seen before! -Ethan

Carlsbad, CA
I live in Carlsbad, around 9:30 pm while walking my dog I saw a bright red and black ball in the sky, to the right of the moon and starting around the middle of the skyline, looked like it was traveling southwest. The red and black ball was surrounded by red/orange/white "flames" (for a lack of a better of describing it) that made a cone line shape around the ball. The ball itself was much larger than a standard airplane in the sky (maybe 5-6 combined) and the flames were incredibly long, I can't accurately describe how long, but it felt like you could play connect the dots with the stars. It lasted maybe 10-15 seconds, seemed to extinguish, then reappeared farther along it's path. The ball was a deeper red, and the flames a darker orange and much shorter in length. It then extinguished completely after maybe 3-5 seconds.
I've read some reports of a boom and shaking thereafter, but didn't hear or feel either. However, it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. -Sasja Tse

Hello, we witnessed the large fireball. We did not see it until it was between the horizon and regulus( around Hyrda). It had 3 trails. In the beginning while it was moving it had no trail, stopped moving when it developed more trails blew up into white flames and disappeared. After it disappeared we thought we saw a red color re-appear then disappear again. If you find the meteorite would you let us look at it? Good luck! -Amanda and Nick

castle park high
Hey, i was looking for pictures of what i witness to one of a lifetime event
after doing my running exercise at castle park high on my way home
something caught my eye on the sky, i did not know what to think at first because i had never seen anything like it my first thought that it was a UFO after i just stood in shook to see that a bright C shaped amber burned the sky across my very eyes after a long 10 second going north to south, i was fasing westward what looked to be a supersonic blast, it dissapeared for two whole seconds reapeared smaller burning then dissapeared on the very sky im glad i could witness what i did not know what was going to happen this very day - Chris F.
Santa Barbara, CA.
Time was from about 9:24 to 9:29 pm. Viewed from Hwy 101N just north of Santa Barbara, CA. Saw large yellow/orange light moving from approximate NNE to SSW. Largish fireball with a large profile and tail turned to bright white with a much smaller profile and thinning white tail to tail-less smaller object then towards the end of the event a white plume/halo appeared to the forefront of the object. Moments later it was all but gone. It left a large, (assuming high altitude) scattered con trail to the NNE as well...

Hello, around 9:25 PM I saw a large fireball heading south/south east.
It was visible for over a minute. It was slow moving and at first I thought it was an airplane that was taking the turn east like other planes just taking off from LAX.

Disneyland, CA
Was south in sky. 3/8inch to the eye. Traveled right to left in sky
Had a "C" shape. With the center of the back of the c the head end
Saw orange and red only on the edges of the c. Center was void of colors. Moved very slow. Came in and out of being visible. Glad others saw it. We thought it was a.plane flying backwards.

Creston, CA Not sure how to use your site. Saw the same bright lights described by Megan F in Goleta. My location is in Creston in northern San Luis Obispo County. It moved and brightened/dimmed exactly as she reported. Seemed to be in the sky for at least 1 minute perhaps 2. At first it seemed to be stationery but then, on further looking I think it was always moving from west to east at a slow speed. Appeared to be approximately 20 to 30 degrees above our horizon (we see hills to south so this may not be an accurate measure of its actual angle from our position.) Interesting phenomenon. -Jim M.

Guest786 (guest): ok it was a rocket that lest Van. CA
Guest231 (guest): It was west and south of us and was moving slowly toward the east. It was orange and was wide from side to side (like from wing tip to wing tip of a plane) but trailed out the entire length.It looked like a comb that had been melted to the shape of a boomerang, with the leading edge a solid line and the trailing teeth wispy following.It glowed orangish.The light when out for a couple of seconds,then flashed once again, then nothing more.
Guest524 (guest): I'm in Lake Elsinore and I saw it!
Guest482 (guest):South Orange County, CA, around 9:15-9:30pm Apr 14,2011. Three of us saw what we first thought was a plane on fire with glowing contrails. It looked like a typical comet shape, and changed colors before fizzing out, but then there was a small after burn, much like a firework. It was the most magical celestial event I've seen in my life. -LR

It was orange and was wide from side to side (like from wing tip to wing tip of a plane) but trailed out the entire length.It looked like a comb that had been melted to the shape of a boomerang, with the leading edge a solid line and the trailing teeth wispy following.It glowed orangish.The light when out for a couple of seconds,then flashed once again, then nothing more.
Guest524 (guest): I'm in Lake Elsinore and I saw it!
Guest482 (guest):South Orange County, CA, around 9:15-9:30pm Apr 14,2011. Three of us saw what we first thought was a plane on fire with glowing contrails. It looked like a typical comet shape, and changed colors before fizzing out, but then there was a small after burn, much like a firework. It was the most magical celestial event I've seen in my life. -LR
Guest680 (guest): My husband and I saw a huge comet I guess .. Over Santa Barbara as we were driving north on the 101 at about a little past 9pm ... It looked increadie and very scary! lol any one else see it?

Greenbelt, Maryland 11:30 pm 13APR2011
I saw a brief, bright white light not long after 11:30 pm, above Greenbelt, Maryland (intersection of Washington Beltway/495/95 and Baltimore-Washington Parkway/295). It was in the northeastern sky and moving from southeast to northwest. The northwest side of it looked like a bright burst of white light. This was followed on the southeast by a white tail. Overall, it followed a smooth arc, as I would have expected, but it made an erratic jagged dip down, across, and back up before it disappeared. (It looked celestial to me, but we do get a lot of varied aircraft here because we are near both Washington, DC, and NASA.)
Independence Ohio Meteor ~11:42 April 13, 2011
As I was driving home this evening I spotted a meteorite.

It was approximately 11:42 EST. I was in Independence Ohio and looking south. It was bright enough to take my attention off the road. Hank D.

I have observed this objekt on the Sattelegg in Switzerland (47°07'35.12N 8°50'49,77E, altitude 1200m). A big explosion with a clear, withe flash (compareable with a photografic-flash in 10 meters distance). 2 minutes later, the "smoke-stripe" of the way from this fireball are always visible in the binoculars.

Mount Pleasant, Iowa Meteor 10:02 p.m 11APR2011
I live in southeastern Iowa near Mount Pleasant. I was thrilled to see the blogs that I am sure was the same thing I saw. I was sitting on my deck when a bright light from the ESE that when it got overhead was orange and yellow to a greenish tail. It was huge. I have seen meteor showers before but nothing like this. It was visible for 6-8 seconds. I even had time to step up on a table to watch it longer as it dissapeared over my house. It was still lit up before the house got in my way. It was heading WNW. It was almost straight overhead of me so I had a great view. I thought maybe I heard a boom right after it left my view, but very distant and not very loud. I can not believe there has been nothing in the news here in Iowa. Hope you post this to your blog. - Ed H.
South Beloit, IL about 10:15-10:30 CST 11APR2011
I am also looking for imformation about the shooting star last night, April 11 2011 seen about 10:15-10:30 CST. We live in South Beloit IL near the Wisconsin border. This "star" came from the southeast heading northwest. We see alot of shooting stars when sitting in our hot tub but this one was amazing. Bright with a nice sized tail. We never did see it burn out as it went behind clouds in the northwest sky. Spectacular! Sarah E
Chicago Meteor April 11 2011
I live in the south suburbs of Chicago. Last night at around 10. I saw the biggest, brightest, and longest shooting stars I have ever seen! It seemed like it lasted for 10 seconds…..but I was in so much awe that I lost the concept of time. - John M.
Chicago, IL.
Saw the same thing last night as a buddy and I were walking home from the Subway near Division and Milwaukee. I had a feeling and the exact empty part of the sky I was looking at is where the object broke through and lit up like a 4th of July sparkler. I've never seen a meteor so bright and low, and it seemed to fly overhead for a long long while, and vanished into the horizon. -Anon.
Montgomery, IL
Same here - from Montgomery (a suburb of Chicago). In the west section of the sky traveling NW. Lasted at least 5 seconds for me. To date, the best thing I've seen in the sky. A huge fireball that moved rather slowly and a long trail of debris. - Anon.

Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada 'shooting star' meteor 10:20 pm 11APR2011
Hi there, I am just emailing about the shooting star last night April 11, 2011 @10:20pm pst time Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada. I was looking on line today to see if I could find out anything on it and also about other stars that were amazing last night, like the 3 stars in a row, very low, big, bright and twinkling. Also there was a star formation I am not sure what it was ( I do not know the different star patterns and names) looked like the little dipper wasn't, the stars in this formation were twinkling alternately and looked like they had color! Then the bright light came over the top of the house very fast and very low heading north east and then couldn't see it, then saw it again heading north west in about a 3-4 second span. I have never seen a shooting star before, I think that is what it was and I was chatting to a friend of mine on the phone at the time, telling him about the stars as they were so amazing and thought he may know what the star formation was. He didn't know but he thought it was pretty amazing! He said the 3 bright stars in the horizontal form was Orion's belt? Well there you have it, amazing night!
Hope this helps
Gail Thank you Gail!

We saw what appeared to be a meteor in the dawn sky approx 06.30 Perth Western Australia 12 April 2011 heading in a south easterly direction. Not a very long tail, but very bright. Other people seen it but nothing on tv here?

I think this was a meteor anyway. I don't know much about them but it was so different I had to check this out.
