The Villages, Lake and Marion County, Florida
From The Villages in Lake and Marion County in Florida. We saw the shooting star at about 9:50 p.m. It was bright yellow with a huge fireball and a tail of light that extended a good distance behind. I heard no sound. It was clearly visible for approximately 10 seconds. It moved from right to left with a downward (fairly steep) trajectory. I was facing southeast. It was an incredible sight.
Rev. Carol Rawlings-Chambers Thank you!
St.Petersburg, Florida
I live in St.Petersburg, Florida. (address) zip code of 33709....if this helps to pin point the location.) On the evening of Monday, 20 June 2011, I was sitting outside, as I often do, looking at the stars and hoping to see a "falling star". Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed! At approximately 9:42 (PM) I was facing east, when I saw the most beautiful "falling star" I've ever seen!! It seemed to be traveling slightly north-west to south-east and, when I first saw it, it looked to be "about" 35 to 40 degrees above the horizon. It was definetely moving fast! The "tail" was, at first, white and as it continued, the "tail" showed a brighter yellow, orange, and a little deeper orange color, not quite red. The leading edge, at one point near the "end of the show", showed a slight bit of black. After a couple of seconds, it seemed a "chunk" came apart from the main body, and it, too, had a "tail", but not as bright as the main one. It was quite bright. I would compare it to a quarter moon. Imagine, perhaps, seeing a lit match a few feet from you. I did not hear sound associated with the sighting. I would say that the duration of the sighting was 5 seconds. When it "went out", I would say it was about 20 to 25 degrees above the horizon. I don't know if this was a meteor, "space junk", or maybe even "E.T." (who knows!), but I feel very fortunate to have seen it! I'm sure you can tell that I am an "amateur" as far as sightings go, but I have searched the night skies before (mainly in California and Nevada) and I can honestly say I have never seen anything like this before. Anyway.....I hope this is of some interest, and help, to you, and your friends/associates. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further help. My cell phone number is: (tele #). You have, by way of this e-mail, my e-mail and home address (address). Best wishes.......
CONNI S. Thank you!

Steve Elliott Thank you!
Seminole, FL
Yes, I saw this!!!! I can't believe it!! I thought it was a firework, but it was too high, too quiet, and lasted too long!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!! No one believed me when I said I saw the BRIGHTEST shooting star EVER, so I decided to Google it and found your website!!! WOW!! I didn't realize it was a meteor fireball!! Anyway, for details....I live in Seminole, FL (Pinellas County). I took the dogs out about 9:50-ish PM EDT on Jun 20th, 2011; the fireball came from the west and was traveling east across the sky. I did not hear any noises. It was BIG and very BRIGHT, and FAST!!! It was a bluish-green in color!! I kept waiting in hopes of seeing another one!! It was PHENOMENAL!!! I thought I was dreaming and didn't really see what I thought I saw!! LOL!
Thanks, -
Angela B Thank you!
