Saint Paul, Minnesota Meteor ~11:30 pm 3SEP2011
I was walking west on 4th street in downtown saint paul MN.
It was 11:30pm last night. Sept 3, 2011
The thing was huge and so close, unlike any shooting star I had ever seen.
It seemed to be just above the buildings, had a giant blue tail, was balloon shaped.
Im terrible at direction, when I looked up, it was shooting to the left. It was just 2-3 seconds.
It was just unreal, the color and size of it. The spot I saw it was where I was 5 mins earlier.
I was walking to a neighborhood bar, when I turned around,
walked back to my loft grabbed a hoodie. When I got back to the spot where I had turned around, that was when I looked up and saw it.
Had I not went back I would have been inside the bar already and would have never seen it.
So I feel pretty lucky to have witnessed such an event. ~Micah Thank you Micah!

Colorado east of Greeley and Northeast of Kersey Colorado Bright Blue/Green Meteor Fireball 4:00 am 2SEP2011
My friend and I were at work out at 70 Ranch located at CR 388 and CR 53 Around 4 O`clock AM...9/2/2011. I saw a light that looked like a shooting star. It was bright out of the North and then it shot like a star to the East and then stopped for a few seconds. Then it came down from the north going south and then about a half mile to a mile off the ground it turned a dark to bright green a couple hundred feet around it and then it was traveling towards the ground with a Long tail burning. Looked green and blue. Then it came down and got really low to the ground before It looked like it was going to hit. It may have burnt out but don't know. Just thought it was awesome so I looked it up on the news and no one reported it. My other friend was on the phone about 30miles south of me when I saw it, and he saw it to and asked me if I saw it too. Just thought it was cool so went to this website when I looked up meteors and it said I could report it here if I saw anything. So I figured I would see what you guys knew. Thanks -Mark Merriott

Orange, California Meteor 31AUG2011

Orange, California Meteor 31AUG2011
In Orange, California, USA last night Wednesday August,31 2011 at approx 10PM I saw what appeared to be an orange fire ball falling out of the eastern sky. It was certainly not a firework.  I scoured local news sources but cannot seem to find anything regarding another sighting. Unfortunately, I was not able to get it on camera or video. I was wondering if you have been able to track anything near this location?
I look forward to a response from you

Burlington, Ontario, Canada Meteor Fireball ~10pm 1SEP2011

Burlington Ontario / Canada Meteor Fireball ~10pm 1SEP2011
I was sitting on my balcony in Burlington Ontario / Canada at about 10pm Sept. 1,2011 and saw a fireball or meteor.
It was moving rather slow for it to be falling from such a great distance. It appeared to be rather large and white in color. I was facing west towards Hamilton, Ontario and it apeared to be about 200 km away. It definately looks as though it landed on earth. It was rather bright and seemd a decent size considering the distance away. I saw something like this about 22 years ago when I was living in Oakville, Ontario

Bellefonte, PA  Meteor Sighting ~11:00 pm 31AUG2011
I observed last night (around 11:00pm 8/31/2011) what must have been a meteor streaking across the sky.
I was standing outside the building where I work night shift in Bellefonte PA, facing NE and was looking at the sky because it was a relatively clear night and I knew that this time of year meteor showers are not uncommon.
What I saw passed almost directly overhead and was traveling SE to NW. It resembled a large streaking firework with a multi-colored fireball and long white or silver tail. It was quite spectacular. The duration of what I observed I would estimate at 2 or 3 seconds. I remember thinking that it seemed to last much longer than a so-called "shooting star" and appeared much closer. It passed almost directly overhead. That is about as much information as I can give you. I hope it has been helpful. -Edward Casher  Thank you Edward!

Berkeley Springs, WV
I am not a science buff and have seen my share of shooting stars in my 42 years, but I never saw anything make into our atmosphere. Last night 8/31 and approximately 11:00-11:10 pm over Berkeley Springs WV, Allen district I was right about 39.606085,-78.1703 when I saw a fire ball less then ¼ mile or so in front of me shooting down at about a 45 degree angle. From my view about the size of a volleyball.
For as low as it was I only saw it flash by but I think it hit somewhere in this area 39.62473,-78.171158
I do not know if you guys had any way to check last night and see if this hit your radar or not.I was heading home from a card game. It is pitch black back there and I literally shut off my lights and started looking for fire but there are so many valleys it could have been in one. It rained today so not sure how easy it would be to find at this point.
I was on my way home. -Irv  Thank you Irv!


State College, Pennsylvania
I saw a small ball of fire in the sky on August 31st at 11:03 pm. I have never seen anything like that. I even heard the sound it made when descending. At one point it ignited and slow down as it did. I saw it for about 7 seconds and then trees got on the way of my view and did not see it anymore. This happened in State College Pennsylvania. -Wallington Jimenez-Ortiz

Bastrop , Texas Green Meteor (Looking NW to SE) August 31, 2011 Approximately 03:20 CST

Saw what appeared to be an extremely bright green meteor traveling almost straight down. It has a very long and wide green tail with what appeared to be many pieces breaking off behind it and turning white. It was visible for approximately 5 seconds.
I’m almost always out running that time of day and so I see tons of meteors, but this is the first time one was so bright and unusual that it actually startled me.
Thanks, Liam Douglass, Bastrop, TX  Thank you Liam!



Fort Worth, TX Green Meteor Sighting
Saw the same bright green meteor in North Central Texas (Fort Worth) at about 03:30 this morning (Aug 31, 2011). The bright flash illuminated the clouds and I at first thought it to be lightning until I caught a brief glimpse of the fireball (between clouds) heading almost straight down. I was looking to the northeast at the time of the sighting.

Marietta, Texas Meteor ~3:30am
I was on my was to deliver newspapers to Marietta, Texas around 3:30am when I saw the night light up bright as day in the northern sky. This lasted only a second.

I didn't see the meteor, but I will never forget the sky changing from night to a blue sky and back again in less than a second.
