Witness Sightings of 12MAR2011 Texas Meteor

(c) 2011 LunarMeteorite*Hunter / Google Earth 

Blue Meteor 10:35 PM March 12 East of Mesquite TX
About 10:35 last night my family (four of us) witnessed the meteor streaking across the low eastern sky at a slight downward angle. There were very slight clouds that you can see through and the meteor lit up the clouds. It appeared blue to us in the front, with sparkling red, yellow, and orange lights immediately behind the front. This was a very big meteor and was fat, meaning it didn't leave a thin trail but a fat trail. We had just seen Battle LA and thought we were seeing things LOL.
Thanks, Tom Wakefield -Mesquite TX

south Fort Worth, Texas  bright Teal meteor 10:33 AT&T (CST) Time 12MAR2011
I saw it right at 10:33 AT&T (CST) Time, traveling from my perspective, South to North, as I observed from the West. I am in south Fort Worth, and would estimate that it was perhaps between 50-100 miles EAST of my observation point, traveling low enough to appear slowish. It presented as bright Teal with a white tip, and a white streak towards the tail (main body being predominately Teal). I was able to observe for perhaps 2 entire seconds before it was out of visual site. I would guesstimate that it could have traveled as much as 500 miles north of my equivalent latitude, but likely not less than 100. (I am just making layman estimates; I did get a good look at it tho). It definitely went down within this region. -　Anon.


Round Rock Texas @ 10:33 pm CST
I saw it clearly over Round Rock Texas @ 10:33 pm exactly headed Northward

Carthage, Texas bluish white streak 10:30pm CST

My wife and I were in our front yard in Carthage, Texas at approximately 10:30pm. It seemed to me to be in the northern sky. It was a bluish white streak that was definitely bigger than a shooting star. It travelled at a downward angle for what seemed like 2-3 seconds and travelled alot further in the sky than a shooting star does too. - Joseph Gentry

Grapevine, TX large fireball 10:22pm
March 12 at approx 10:22 PM I witnessed a green glowing fireball very low and extremely large. It was moving north eastward. I live in Grapevine TX and actually witnessed it while sitting in backyard through the trees and then an open space.  - Anon.

We didn't think it was particularly green; it looked more like a sparkler. It was alight for several seconds,and sparked off. It seemed for blue to us.

Lantana, TX Green Fireball 10:30 12MAR2011

Did anyone else see that asteroid fly past at 10:30 last night (3/12)? Quite a sight, from Lantana, looking east, it was low in the sky, and appeared to by moving south to north. It was bright green, and I would guess we could see it for about 5 seconds. Very cool.

Weatherford, TX to Ft. Worth at about 10:30p huge glowing fireball 12MAR2011
Lisa wrote: I was traveling east on I-20 from Weatherford to Ft. Worth at about 10:30pm. I saw a huge glowing fireball shoot across the sky at a downward angle from south to north. At first I thought it was a small plane on fire about to crash....so the colors I saw were more orange/red (like fire). Then it just disappeared after about 5-10 seconds. It was WAY bigger than a falling star. I've never seen anything like it. Very amazing sight to see!

Weatherford, Texas heading East on Interstate 20 toward Fort Worth
A friend and I were in Weatherford, Texas heading East on Interstate 20 toward Fort Worth about 10:30pm on Saturday night. It was overcast so we didn't see it clearly but we saw it for several seconds before it disappeared. It had a blueish color and looked round to us viewing it through the clouds. We thought it was possibly a giant spot light flashing through the air from one of the businesses there in town but quickly ruled that out. Then we thought possibly a shooting star but it was huge so that didn't make sense either. A friend of mine in another car a little further down the road described it as a giant fireball. She said she thought a plane was on fire and was heading right toward her and was going to crash into her car. I've never seen a meteor before...so cool!

College Station,Texas  light green and was very bright about 10:35 pm, 3/12/2011
Mar 14 2011, 2:25 PM

Guest336 (guest): I witnessed this event -at about 10:35 pm, 3/12/2011. My location is about 11 miles directly east of College Station,Texas. The meteor moved from NNE to NNW, dropping at about a 20 degree angle from the horizontal; the color was a light green and was very bright, one of the brightest I have seen.

College Station, TX - I saw this one on the way from San Marcos back to College Station. It was situated low in the North East sky heading North and down. Very bright, probably the brightest I have ever seen and blue-green with some other color transitions in the beginning and at the end.

Rusk, Tx.
I was in the yard taking long exposure pictures of the night sky when the fireball went by. I managed to get the tail end in one shot but the picture was erased by my wife!!! It was in the Northern sky traveling from the East around a 45• angle down to the West. The last place I saw before it burned out was about 350• N of my house in Rusk Tx. Very bright white, blue, and orange colors, with a long tail. It lasted around 5 seconds.
Hope this helps. -Seth Collins


Plano, Tx
I am located in Plano, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. I was in my car, leaving my apartment complex around 10:30 p.m. I happened to see a round green object shoot through the sky. The "head" was round and a beautiful "electric" green with a fiery tail. It seemed to be zooming across steadily in a northeast direction for about 4-5 seconds before it broke apart into green "sparks". It sort of looked like fireworks going off.
My husband was with me, and he only caught it as it was breaking apart. I asked him what he thought it was, and he said it was either a meteor or a Roman candle (but who would be shooting those off this time of year)?
I think what drew my attention is that It seemed very low, and it was 
a cloudy, breezy evening. There were planes in the vicinity at the 
time, and the meteor seemed lower than the aircraft, yet quite large. 
It was a spectacular thing to witness. I'm glad I saw it. - Anon.

Mabank,TX

Laquita wrote: A group of friends and I saw this around 10:30 in Mabank,TX. We were sitting outside by the fire when it came across the sky. It was traveling South to North and appeared to be about 50 miles away from usto the east. It was teal in color and only lasted a couple of seconds. It was a beautiful site.

Carrollton, Texas 
I was just west of the intersection of Keller Springs Road and Josey Lane in Carrollton, Texas at the time of the sighting. At that location, the direction we were facing was east-northeast. The fireball moved north to south, appearing in the right side of the windshield and quickly, probably within 2 or 3 seconds traversing to the left with maybe a ten degree descent angle from my viewpoint (it appeared to pass right over the spheroid water tower near Newman Smith High School). The color was almost like a Christmas ornament...bright red leading edge glowing the same color and intensity as an emergency road flare. The tail was green with a definite train of particles being left behind. Some particles appeared to have more drag than others as they seemed to sink quicker before losing their incandesence. Initially I thought it was someone setting off fireworks but the time of year was wrong and I heard no sound. And I ruled out a jet having a compressor stall since any airplane moving that fast angularly would either have to be skimming the ground, or going hypersonic at any reasonable altitude. I would have loved to guess what areas it flew over but since I have no altitude information, there's no way I could triangulate its actual path. Luckily your site has a map of all the sightings which does narrow down the groundtrack quite a bit.
Do you think it could have been a magnesium or argon content on the meteor that caused the glow?

Dallas, Texas meteor 9:40-9:45 pm 10MAR2011
I live in Dallas, TX and saw a meteor on March 10, 2011 around 9:40-9:45 pm. It was absolutely stunning as it burned out through the sky. It appeared to have a red tail; gorgeous! I do wonder (this is a totally uneducated guess) if the meteor had anything to do with the earthquake in Japan....?  - Krista Springstead
Thank you for your report!
The meteor in Texas had absolutely no relationship to the event in Japan.

Ponca, Ok. about 9:30-10
Is it possible I could have seen this in Oklahoma? I was traveling near Ponca, Ok. about 9:30-10 o'clock and saw something like a HUGE meteor hurtling through the sky. It looked so close I thought it was going to land in a neighboring pasture.

Pittsburg, KS
I'm also in SE Kansas (Pittsburg), and was lucky enough to be setting at my south facing living room window when this went by. It was a light blue color, and at first I thought it was a flair or large firework going over. It was (I'm guessing) at about a 35 to 45 degree angle from the horizon, traveling south south west. It should have been easily seen in Tulsa, OK City, Dallas or San Antonio areas, and I don't know how far north it was visible. My first fireball. Very cool. -Anon

I couldn`t believe my eyes while on a smoke break after studying for a midterm. Lasted ~1.5 - 2 second as far as i could see it. After that,the trees blocked my view. Chris please email me.  Thank you! - Tokyo

Phoenix, AZ bright blue 3:30-ish am 10MAR2011

I actually just now saw a meteor like you described over Phoenix, AZ. It was incredibly fast moving and bright blue with a long red tail. This occured March 10, 2011 at about 3:30-ish am. Amazing! As I stood, it appeared to be moving N, can't speculate whether east or west. Lasted around 1.5, maybe 2 seconds as far as i could see it before losing it in the trees. - Anon.

Thank you both for your report!

Anyone else with info or photos?

Saskatchewan Canada Meteor 1:40am 9MAR2011

Strongfield Saskatchewan Canada Meteor 1:40am  March 9,2011
I had to check the internet to see if anyone had seen a meteor the morning of March 9,2011 in Saskatchewan and came across the one in Manitoba instead. WOW!
At 1:40am I saw a meteor south of Strongfield Saskatchewan Canada.
It was absolutely huge and very close to earth, I strongly feel it did hit somewhere.
The front of the meteor was yellow then orange then it turned to red, where the tail started it was the brightest blue you could image, it was beautiful.
Thanks,
Janet
