Hope that helps -L Dixon

Tannum Sands Qld, Australia
Amazing show
Meteor seemed to last about 7 seconds, after 9.00pm last night (17 June 2011)
Travelled from S to NE sky then disappeared
Bright white head
Colours in tail included green and orange. -DiDi


Gracemere, near Rockhampton, Central Queensland
Friday 17th June 2011, approximately 9pm. seen from Gracemere, near Rockhampton, Central Queensland. approx 75 degrees above the southern horizon travelling from west to east. seven seconds with two very bright periods 5x Venus. bluish white tail and blue 'explosions'. 3 seconds tail, 1st explosion, 2 seconds tail, 2nd explosion, 2 seconds tail then faded. -Anon.

Brisbane, Queensland
On June 17th 2011, we were driving on the Bruce Highway in Brisbane between Strathpine and North Lakes at approximatelyt 9.05pm we saw a fire ball in the sky which was orange with a white tail and blackish head, at a 45 degree angle heading downwards before fading completely out, lasting roughly 5 seconds. It was very bright and apparent in the sky.
Angela Peck and Levi Bye.

Brisbane, Queensland (Yeerongpilly)
Brisbane, Queensland (Yeerongpilly). Saw meteor just after 9pm on 17 June 2011. Was located in north north east lower part of sky. 5-10 seconds.Not sure when it started and it disappeared beyond the horizon. movement was 45% towards horizon.
very bright, red round part leading with white tail. moving very quickly. seemed very large and close (moon is very close at the moment too). It would have been the size of a normal moon. Amazing and beautiful... -HolidayOffer


Lismore, Australia
Saw exactly the same thing as Isaac Smith (1st post) over the skies of Lismore looking south. Mentioned it to my stepdad at the time but forgot about it until tonight.Unlike anything I have ever seen before. Pretty much looked like a massive fireball flying at pace into our lower atmosphere and didn't look that far away. No sound, have heard no further news of it until I googled it and found these posts, 45 degree angle for about 3-5 seconds. Absolutely amazing actually, but as I didn't die I just got on with my day and forgot for some reason. Way to close and too big to be a falling star or comet. This thing was either big or close and definately entered our lower atmosphere. I'm no scientist but that was my take on it. -lordwinterborne

Crawfordville, Florida
At 5:15 this morning as I was driving to work I saw something streaking thru the sky. It was still dark and I watched go from west to East. I was at the crossroad Crawfordville Highway and Bloxham Cuttoff. Flames were coming out of the back. I thought it was a plane crash. I called the airport and police and they had not had any reports. There were cars behind me
so I was not the only one to see this.-Mary Merchant Thank You Mary!

Columbus, GA
At around 5:20 AM EDT on 15 June I witnessed a large white / greenish fire ball streak across the sky at Fort Benning in Columbus GA. It was visible for several seconds and appeared to be traveling in a southern direction. Sparks and burning particles were clearly visible falling off of the Meteor. It was the brightest thing I have ever seen in a dark sky, far more bright then a full moon.-Brian  Thank you Brian!


Montevallo, AL about 4:20 am (?)
There is an old Alabama Power building in Montevallo, AL that my friends and i were exploring. We got on the roof and i sat and stared out towards the south west. i saw a green ball of light falling from the sky. it had a giant tail of green as well. this was the biggest meteorite i had ever seen. it lasted about 5 seconds and traveled from high in the south west sky towards low in the south east sky. it was about 4:20 in the morning. later on that day i met up with my boyfriend; he had seen it too, while he was on his way to work. -Jessica



Fanlew, Florida
I was on my way to work Weds. morning at 5:20 a.m. when a huge bright blue ball came flying past at an incredible speed. I live in southern Jefferson county Fla. in a small community named Fanlew, way out in the woods so to see something so spectacular was a little frightening at first but then became amazing. I feel that this may have been a once in a lifetime event and am so glad that I got the chance to see it firsthand. -Kaye  Thank you Kaye!



New Bern, NC
In the evening on wed,June 15 2011 a meteor streaked across the northern sky. It lasted under two seconds,however it was very brilliant and clearly visible to the naked eye here in New Bern, NC. pieces of the meteor broke off of the main fireball as it entered the atmosphere. A very exciting sighting. Many of the residents in the area were present as though there was for warning of the meteors arrival. -D. Tallman

It was very fast within seconds, seemed like a fireball (mostly red)
falling at an angle, I was driving 70mph and the thing was extremely
fast, got something falling out of glimpse of my eye and quickly
looked thinking it was some kind of firework but once I looked, I
realized it was a fireball/meteorite. It had to have fallen somewhere
within 50miles of Austin. Nere E.  Thank you Nere!

Leander, TX
11:32 PM, travelling NW on US 183 near Leander, TX (I looked at the clock in my car)
At first I thought it was a bottle rocket or other firework because of the color and the fragmentation effect. The object appeared to be moving parallel to my direction, NNW and was to my right (east?). The angle of entry appeared to be shallow, about 30 degrees relative to the horizon. The fireball and streak seemed to be outpacing the car (but not by much) before burning out / dropping into the tree line. It lasted for what seemed like a couple seconds and left a clear “smoke” trail that dissipated pretty instantly, maybe a persistence of vision effect. Initially, the nucleus glowed orange with a “copper in flame” green halo that became progressively more green as the orange part burned up. There were three or four separate streaks moving in similar but not parallel directions as the object broke-up. The streaks associated with the smaller fragments terminated in midair, but the largest (Parent) chunk continued to glow until it dropped from view. The streak subtended about 10-15 degrees of sky near the horizon. I didn’t see it start, it just caught my eye with its brightness. No pictures since I didn’t anticipate the event. I either heard or imagined a hissing sound accompanying the visuals. It was pretty spectacular. -Sam Wilson
Sam,  Spectacular report! Thank you!- Tokyo


Conroe, TX
11:34 Central Standard time Tuesday June 14,
Good sized fire ball came through very fast from the South heading North North West. I am just slightly west of city limits of Conroe, TX. Looked as though it fell in-line with the south/north route of I-45. Head was white, bluish flames at tail, made no sound.
Julie S.G.  Thank you Julie!


Friendswood, Texas
I was driving northwest on I45 half way between Galveston & Houston at approximately 11:30 pm after treasure hunting at Stewart Beach. At the Friendswood exit a fireball fell from about 30 degrees above the horizon to 5 degrees slanting to the north with a very steep trajectory. It was directly out my front window & I suspected this was toward the central Texas area. The meteor or ? was brilliant white and broke apart, approximately a third fell off about half way through the 2 second event. Most spectacular I have seen since the fireball back in the '50's over north Texas. Due to the 200+ mile distance from other posters near Austin, I did not see colors, it was white hot in appearance. -John K. Jordan

Cleburne , Texas
We live in Cleburne , Texas and saw what appeared to be a big bright meteor Wednesday morning June 15, 2011 around 1 to 1:30 am from our deck that faces to the east. We had out of town visitors, which was the only reason that we would be sitting out on our deck at that time of the morning. Everyone got a chance to see some of the meteor before it broke up. The first person saw it streaking through the sky from the south going north to northwest, told everyone else, and then we all watched for the last few seconds until it broke up.
It was very bright, aqua blue color with green and red hues and a long tail. We only saw it for about 5 seconds at the most before it appeared to
break into two pieces. One of the other persons watching said that they thought in might have landed somewhere around the area, it was that clear. We didn’t get a picture and did not notice a sound, but everyone was talking so it might have been a factor. .-Jerry

Temple, TX
I believe this is the same meteor that I seen.
time around 11:30pm June 14, 2011
My location 10 miles southeast of Temple, TX in east Bell County.
(central Texas)
It was in the northwest at about 310 to 320 degrees. I first noticed it at about 50 to 60 degrees up where it streaked downward at a steep northward angle where it suddenly flashed brightened like it exploded then disappeared.
I did not see any separation, only one large flash.
It was a bright and wide streak at a speed of a slow meteor falling.
The final bright flash at the end of it was at about 20 degrees elevation.
It did not look like a common meteor. I felt like it was some man-made space junk. -DTX


Granbury, Texas
Saw this in Granbury, Texas while watching a movie at the drive in. It was approximately 11:30 pm on June 14, 2011. It was a large fire ball with sparks behind it. It was bright yellowish white and lasted about 3-4 seconds until it was hidden behind the drive in movie screen. My husband and I both saw it. I am bad with directions but I think it went west to east at a 45 degree or so angle. -Anon.

Lorena, TX June 14 about 11:30 pm
I live just outside of Waco, in Lorena. Friends and I saw it! Started out like a shooting star then got brighter and larger. Appearing to have a good size tail of flames, Very bright! It went a long time and was full of color then red before burning out in two parts. It was long enough for friends to say hey look, turn around and continue to watch it!
