AUSTRALIA Two Meteor Events 1JUL2011

Dandenong, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA Meteor ~4.50am 1JUL2011
So I was driving towards Dandenong (AUSTRALIA VICTORIA) this morning at around 4.50am its the 1st of July and i thought I saw firework but quickly realized the flame and colors surrounding More Green and Blue and yellow)were not that of a firework as it flashed bright yellow and disappeared. Was i seeing things or has there been reports?? It truly was amazing and beautiful? -Anon

Princes Highway Doveton,Victoria
I reported a sighting in the sky this morning and was the most amazing thing i have ever seen. At first it looked like a falling star I was driving on Princes Highway Doveton,Victoria i was driving towards Power road it was moving the same as a falling star accept it turned bright green and blue like a traffic light. I looked down at the traffice lights ahead and back up as it turned bright yellow and flashed and disappeared? I was driving so I did not take any pictures and it happened so fast less than 30seconds from being bright green and blue to a yellow flash and gone. I would love to hear if there has been other reports there was traffic on the roads and it looked pretty close?
I have never seen anything like it and my friends think i had too much sleep :(( I came home and googled and apparently a large Meteor just past the earth as i have been in bed sick and not watching television as i dont have one i only know what i read and saw this morning.

Walking to my car last night at 4:50am coming back from work, out the front of Crown Casino heading south, blankly staring at the sky trying not to fall asleep i saw the HUGE green ball falling with a purple/white tail, it was only for a few seconds and i wondered where it landed because it seemed to be so close to where i was. Then after i got in my car i sat there for a bit trying to figure out what i had seen or if i was just REALLY tired. After getting home and yelling at my boyfriend to wake up so i could tell him, i drifted of to sleep. Decided to google it today and i found this! Good to know im not crazy and actually did see something!
Regards, Stephanie: Melbourne, Australia

I would love to know if we were the only ones....good luck with the site it look brill... Anon.


Clayton, Melbourne Victoria at 7pm July 1st 2011
My partner and I were travelling east along Browns Road in Clayton, Melbourne Victoria at 7pm July 1st 2011 when we saw a bright yellow light travelling from the left to the right of the sky, falling on about a 45degree angle. The light burned bright yellow and white and travelled through the sky for at least ten seconds. It was clearly visible for a lot longer than the average falling star and it appeared closer to the earth that what an “average” falling star would appear. It burned brightly and clearly for several seconds before changing in colour to a vivid blue/green before eventually burning out. It had a very long tail and it looked more like a cartoon comet. It seemed to have a huge fire ball head. It looked almost like it would not burn up completely as it passed through the atmosphere and we wondered if some rock may have actually hit the earth. It initially appeared to both of us that an aircraft had actually fallen from the sky, that’s how close it appeared to be in relation to the earth. It seemed to eventually burn up and disappear. The colours were spectacular and unlike anything either of us had ever seen before. It is something we will both never forget. It was so completely different from a falling star. Mark and Marnie, Clayton, Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA


Melbourne Australia Meteor ~05:00 1JUL2011
Hello all, my name is Richard and i live in Melbourne Australia. Walking to my car at approximately 05:00 01/07/2011 when i turned around and saw a blue white neon like flame shoot downwards for about 2-3 secs. It was in the eastern sky because i checked it's relevance to the southern cross. I thought i heard a popping noise as it disapeared over the houses but i can't be absolutely sure. I love seeing this phenomena because you get a feeling of connection with the cosmos. -Richard Leigh

My dad saw exactly the same as you described just before 8pm looking out from keysborough on 01.07.11

MD NJ CT VA Meteor Fireball = Rocket Launch 29JUN2011

Update from Elizabeth W.:
Well, I think the MD fireball is just an observation of the launch of a Minotaur rocket from Wallops Island. The rocket was carrying the ORS-1 satellite. Launch occurred at 11:09pm. There were some (low) clouds in the area so it would have seemed to 'disappear'...

I viewed the launch from Alexandria, VA... There were several hundred if not thousands of folks  watching the launch from DE down to NC, so if there was an actual fireball, I would think we would have seen more reports...

And it was very red at first and seemed to disappear very momentarily which I attribute to low clouds...

Ocean City, Maryland Meteor Fireball ~11:00 pm 29JUN2011
I am writing to report a fireball like siting in Ocean City, Maryland June 29 2011.
In a southern sky around 11 pm, I saw a bright red orange fireball, not as large as a full moon. It had multiple red orange bright burning like small trails that continued for about 15 seconds . The main fireball, then started to become smaller as it continued across the sky in a southern direction . It seemed to dwindle to nothing and then reappeared once more at this point looking like a giant star and continued again until it just disappeared . All in all , From when I first noticed it to when it ended lasted about what seemed to be 1 minute .
It was stunning !!!!! -trixiespalace

Peyia, Cyprus Meteor Fireball 24JUN2011

Peyia, Cyprus Meteor Fireball 00:05 EET 24JUN2011
I saw a large orange red fireball as big as the moon. It was visible over Peyia Valley in Cyprus. I was facing south south west at the time and it was visible for about 45 seconds from me noticing it. Totally silent.
Whilst I was watching it shrank to half the size in an instant but then it very slowly started a descent into the valley but then just before it disappeared it looked like it had exploded.
Hope this info was helpful for your research.
Please note that the time was Thursday night early hours in the morning of Friday 24th June 2011 and that this was Cyprus time. Regards, Julie R  Thank you Julie!

El Paso, Texas White Meteor Fireball Witnessed and Captured 4:33 am MDT 28JUN2011

El Paso, Texas Meteor Fireball 28JUN2011

El Paso fireball with very nice long lasting train

Just observed a nice fireball with impressive train.Train lasted at least 5 to6 seconds @ 4:33 am MDT.White in color. This event cover about 50 degrees.I could see the light on the ground and reflecting in the sky.  Seemed to come from Pegasus area of the sky moving down to the south west.I believe this event should be in your southeastern sky from the ELP Allsky  location. Fireball lasted 3 to 4 seconds visually. I was up hoping to get a look at Comet C/2009 P1 Garradd but the wind was blowing to hard to set up so I was just
standing out looking nake eye at the sky. The train event　was outstanding.The train went from white to a rust red back　to white before decaying.The best such event I have observed　this year.
Regards,Thomas Dorman, Sky City, TX
Thank you Thomas!

Gryt, Sweden greenish light ~23:45 on 27 June 2011
Aloha. My name is Curtis Zimmerman. My girlfriend and I witnessed
effects from the meteor last night.We were laying in bed watching a movie and the room filled with
flashes of greenish light at approximately 23:45 on 27 June 2011 (as
opposed to the 23:55 reported by others). I immediately ran to a
nearby window and attempted to spot anything in the sky, however
apparently the meteor (as I suspect it to be, judging from all of the
signs of the event) had already passed directly overhead. We are on a
small island near the town of Gryt in Sweden, southwest of Stockholm
by about 150km or so. I put on some shorts and shoes, and ran outside
in the yard to see if I could spot anything else, and noticed a
twisting, irregularly-shaped "contrail" left by something extremely
recent, and I assumed thereafter that this trail was left by the
(re)entering object. My girlfriend and I had been standing outside
approximately 60-75 seconds after the flashes of extremely bright
light, when we heard (from overhead) a very distant, distinct,
rumbling sound, not unlike a consistent kind of thunder, but not
exactly like that of a jet plane. The rumbling sound lasted
approximately 10 to 15 seconds, then trailed off faintly. I am in the
military and have extensive experience with aerial phenomenon and
suspect this event to be a meteor or possibly a piece of re-entering
space trash. I am no meteorologist or weather expert, but juding on my
experience with timing sound to light events, I calculate the
approximate distance of the object to be about 20-30km directly over
our point of observation. Hope this helps,-curtisz  Thank You Curtisz!

Jonkoping, Sweden Bolide ~23:30 27JUN2011
I saw the meteor on 27 June 2011 at approximately 23:30 (ish) whilst in Jonkoping, Sweden.
I've seen meteors / comets before, but this was something else. It was so close it was unbelievable, and looked more like something out of a movie.
My girlfriend who was driving at the time didn't see it and still thinks I am making it up!!
It was awwwesome!!! R R Pilcher 


North Estonia
I saw it too, and im living in North-Estonia. i was on my way home. it was nothing like i had ever seen before, it was so bright and moving in straight line, down the sky far far away. as i was looking it, trying to understand what it is, it suddenly turned to flames, and that point i got somewhat scared, my head twisted and i started to walk faster to my home, which is at higher grounds, seemed safer. glad it didnt turn out so badly. -Sew
I saw it from Sweden too! Amazing, too bad I didn't caught it on video! -Anon.

Romania Meteor 25JUN2011

Romania Meteor ~11:00 pm 25JUN2011
I think I saw that too. I'm from Romania and I think I saw it at 11, or even later. I didn't remember. But I saw it in south. It wasn't so bright. first it was orange, than blue, than again orange. It was a little bit bigger than a star, so I knew that it was a meteorite. Duration of event: I think 1-2 sec, I dont know surely, because I was very excited. That was the first meteorite I have seen! -Crobi

Anyone else see this in Romania?  Different date or time please send your report!  It appears that this was widely seen but only one report.  Please help.  If you do not write English please write in Romanian and I will attempt to get it translated.  Thank you! -Tokyo

Morgan, Utah Bright Orange-colored Meteor 27JUN2011

Morgan, Utah Bright Orange-colored Meteor ~3:50 a.m. 27JUN2011
Hello, just seen pretty bright, orange colored meteor with what looked like sparks around it something fly through the sky. Above Morgan, Utah at about 3:50 a.m. june 27th. Viewed by eye and not telescope the size was bigger than what commercial airline planes look. It was going south or southeast. The length of time I seen it was about 5 seconds. I don't know if it was the 2011 MD asteroid or a seperate meteorite. Seconds before that there was a light that size and color looked just as a small star, I would have thought it was a star but it was moving quicker than airplanes do. It was around the same part of sky as the larger what possible asteroid traveling same direction but still slower. Jake, Morgan, Utah
It was not 2011 MD. Thank you Jake!

I saw a fireball from my bedroom window about 5:20am on June 27 2011 traveling in a northwest direction.
My perspective was from Rowlett TX, a suburb of Dallas, looking southeast. The fireball was travelling from left to right about 45deg from the horizon and at a 30deg angle. It was bright, changed colors and broke up into multiple pieces. It seemed to be moving slower than I have seen meteorites travel before. It lasted more than 3 seconds I lost sight of it after it traversed the width of my window.-Regal
