02AUG2014 Gerri Davis Marshall, NC 23:23' EST Saw two segments as it crossed behind a landmass, each about a 2/3 second Fell to the east of my location, appeared to travel toward northeast Very large teal-green colored meteor with red-orange trail. Slightly brighter than the moon None visible It was too fast to document unfortunately.

02AUG2014 James Phillips Flintstone GA USA 11:20 EST PM 4 sec Started N to SW Right to left , facing west Blue/silver with flames bright as fireworks long flaming tail Heard a boom approximately 4 minutes later-it was the coolest thing I have seen.

02AUG2014 Rodney Barron cumming Ga USA 11:19 PM eastern std time. 3 sec North to south Bright white By far the closest and largest I have ever seen. Yes long stream of white behind it No photos - too quick. But felt like it was 1-2 miles away, not like most that seem hundreds of miles. Didn't hear any explosion but it fell behind the tree line as I viewed from the back porch and was still bright when it went behind trees. I thought for sure I would hear a big boom.

Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-
23JUL2014 Dillon Davis Henryetta, Oklahoma 130 2 seconds i was facing north it was heading west southwest orange red like a bright venus no very bright very fast heading to Oklahoma city.

23JUL2014 Kyle Trilk Cumming,Iowa,USA 1:20am Central time 7 (1-10) bright moon S/SW facing SW Blue/green glowing Moon A little Coolest thing I've ever seen

23JUL2014 Melonie B Blackwell, Oklahoma kay county 1:00:00 between 20-30sec NE headed SW i was standing E NE bright firey looking thing shooting across the sky no sound between sun/moon no looked like a ball with a light stream behind it like a shooting star just bigger and brighter all i can say is i have never in my life seen anything like it it was a big bright fire flame looking shooting thing across the sky it was amazing 

23JUL2014 Michael Hunt Ellsworth, Ks 67439 0053 CST (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada) Approx. 5 seconds E/NE-W/SW I was facing East when I first saw it Orange glow, like a fireball Bright as headlights of an oncoming train No fragmentation that I could see I woke up to step outside, and looked up just in time to see a fireball quietly shooting at several thousands of miles per hour (judging from the speed of airplanes flying at that altitude) from the E/NE to W/SW at 0053 hrs this morning, directly over Ellsworth Ks. Did ANYBODY ELSE see this too? Is it a single meteor, space junk falling from space, or a UFO crashing down to earth, and WHERE did it crash down on land? It was going too fast for me to even pull my phone out of my pocket to video it. It had NO sound to it at all.
