Homestead, Fl Bright Meteor Event 3JUN2011
Homestead, Florida Bright Meteor Event ~10:30 EST 3JUN2011
Just saw a bright meteor heading from east to west in Homestead, Fl at about 10:30 Eastern time. Lasted about 2-3 seconds, and was whitish green in color. I've seen these in the past before I discovered your site, and it has been over a year that I have observed a meteor of this size and intensity. I go out to the Everglades to get away from the city lights during meteor shower peak times and don't see what I just saw. - Michelle Thank you Michelle!
Guest626 (guest):Just saw a meteor at aprox 11:25pm in Punta Gorda FL.Large orange globe with orange trailing on both sides. Long tail. Dropping towards the SE
Kellen Schwan:Just saw a fireball looking meteor at around 11:30 while I was looking South East in Naples,Florida. Seemed pretty close and probably was not south enough to be past the keys. Small rock since it burned up fast.

Kirksville, MO Bright Meteor Sighting 3JUN2011
Kirksville, MO ~11 p.m. CDT June 3, 2011
I can get everything but the exact time. I was so excited I never looked! LOL But roughly, this would have been around 11 p.m.
Location: North of Kirksville, MO, near Sublette, MO (between Kirksville and Greentop)
I was looking into the southern sky almost due south towards Kirksville.
It started a little higher than mid high in the horizon, and moved from SSE to SSW, ending a little lower than mid high in the horizon.
It was incredibly bright; brighter than planets, close to the brightness of the moon, lasting about 5 seconds.
What I remember about the color is it was more yellowish than starlight, planet light, or moonlight--almost a light golden color. It had a very fat tail and ended with a big round burst of light, looking almost like how one would draw a comet, but with a longer "tail." I didn't hear any sounds (but right now we have so many cicadas out, I would not have heard it if there were any!)
