My children and I saw this in Flomaton, Alabama looking west. It was moving southwest and it was at 4:59 p.m. central time. Wasn't sure what it was and came across your website.

This pictures was taken at approx 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 9,2010. It looked like a huge ball of fire with a tail. It almost looked like a comet but enlarged. It was awesome looking.  It was seen in many places because others posted on www.wkrg.com under the pictures. . Those pictures were taken almost 50 miles from me. Thank you for your response.

Enhanced Serbian Fireball Image Reveals Possible Fragments

This contrast enhanced image of the recent Serbia/Macedonia bolide shows what appear to be fragments rather than camera lens artifacts trailing behind the parent body at terminal burst. Future higher resolution images/videos may reveal more.

Commen by Milan said...

Greetings from Serbian Astronomical Station Vidojevica where the all-sky camera image has been taken. We are pretty sure that there are no "fragments" in the image, just a back reflection from the lens on to the acrylic dome of the all sky camera, and back in to the image.
