Reports from Readers of Meteor/Meteorite News:
Wadsworth, Illinois 18:15 14DEC2010
Guest459 (guest):Stoyanoff wrote-Metorite sited over Wadsworth Illinois traveling North to South,at 30 degrees above the Western horizon at 18:15. The color was a white ball and tapering tail behind it.
Bradford, Ontario Canada 0530hrs EST 14DEC2010
Guest375 (guest): Craig wrote, 0530hrs EST Bradford, Ontario Canada
While travelling East saw abright meteorite that was visble for about 3 seconds and was coming straight down. The note here is that there was a snow storm and visibility was about 300m. I would assume that it was very large.
Western Arizona 11:40pm 14DEC2010
Guest437 (guest) wrote: I spotted 2 very bright burning objects following a north east path through the sky over Western Arizona at about 11:40pm this evening. Both objects appeared to be burning in the atmosphere and were not falling but more like entering at a very slight angle through the atmosphere and were visible for approx 2 min--very bright yellow and were changing in brightness
