Mr. Jim Gamble of El Paso Allsky has just notified me that he heard a loud booms in El Paso, Texas at 7:24pm MST.  He stepped out of his house, heard the multiple booms, and then saw a green fireball with a magnitude -1 and 1 sec. duration some 30 seconds later.  We are guessing that the booms were associated with a large fireball that Mr. Gamble did not see because he was still in his house when it passed.

Washington State Meteor 9FEB2011

Washington State Meteor ~10:45pm PST 9FEB2011

Large White Light Fell From Sky

Earlier this evening around 10:45pm, a friend and I were driving up the Wyoochee Valley Road toward the Wynoochee Dam(Washington State). Once we got about 10 miles south of the dam, we saw a very large and bright white light fall from the sky ahead of us. Shortly after, we noticed it left a trail in the sky resembling that of the after burners from a jet. As we got closer to the dam, we were also getting closer to the touch down point of whatever this object was. We reached the Dam and headed west from there to follow the trail. We took a few logging roads only to reach dead ends. It seems as though it hit somewhere a few miles west of the Wynoochee Reservoir. Maybe slightly north. After almost an hour of searching for it, the trail started to dissipate and we were low on fuel so decided to head home(Montesano, WA). 
If something comes up, please feel free to contact me for any reason. I'd love to know what this was. It was obviously very large.
Thanks, Branden (contact info on file)

Thank you Branden for the report!  Hope your wish comes to pass.  - Tokyo

Meteors(?) sighting over New Orleans today 8FEB2011

I am a college professor from Texas, in NOLA for a conference. I saw what appeared to be a cluster of meteorites very clearly this afternoon. They streaked across the sky roughly from east to west and the cluster dissipated leaving one object that flamed out very brightly. I first thought the cluster was a flock of birds, but they disappeared before my eyes.
I came back to the hotel room and went online searching for "meteorites over New Orleans" and found your site. Not sure what else this could have been.
