Hamilton, Ont., Canada Green fireball April 10 1:30am
Hi there,
I didn`t want to leave my e-mail on the public message boards, but was looking to see if anyone else had seen something like this.
I just saw a green fireball or meteor falling in the sky, I`ve never seen anything bright green light this in the sky. It was also larger than any falling star I`ve seen. I am located in southern ontario near Hamilton. I attached this article because of the illustration that is very similar to what I saw but with a longer tail. I was having a campfire with a group of people, a few of us all saw it and were astonished. Any explanation would be greatly appreciated!

I may have seen a meteor just to the West of Kingston, Ontario at about 12:45 AM... It was green, and lasted for about a second and a half.

Apr 10 2011, 2:43 PMGuest618 (guest): Hi.Saw the biggest thing i have ever seen tonight. 12:45am Wooler, Ontario thought it was lightning at first, then a huge falling star streaking across the sky. Lit up the dead of night for a good 4 to 5 seconds. About a minute later you could hear a noise like thunder and almost like fireworks,rumbled for close to 30 seconds. very creepy.
Wooler is east of toronto. just north of trenton. never have i seen anything like it. pretty cool the time diference in siting.travelling east to west, which is the way i thought it was going. but to take 10 to 15 min to travel less than 200 km seems weird it is the noise afterwards that is still giving me chills. rumble and popping. i looked at my cell phone and it was 12:51 but it was a good few minutes afterwards. i was jamming with a couple friends and we were getting in the cars to leave when it happened isaw the sky lighting up and thought there must be some lightning around. then there was a streak across the sky and the ball seemed to expand just like a firework would, right over our heads and disapeared
Hamilton, ON, Canada April 10 approx 1: 30am.
Yes I can confirm I also saw a large meteor falling in the sky similar to Melissa's post from near Hamilton. I am in Dundas. I saw it from inside my home facing East. Appeared to be moving quickly southwest to northeast. By the time I saw it before it disappeard in a couple of seconds, it was low on the horizon and appeared a large white fireball, much larger than a typical meteor shower like the persaids, must have been extremely close! Glad to have confirmed others witnessed it!
All the best,

Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
My name is Gregory Maza. I was driving from Stratford toward Kitchener, (Ontario, Canada) approaching to the intersection of the Highway 7 and Trussler Rd. when I saw that beautiful spectacle. For about 1.5 seconds a bolide on my front/left (North-East) went down in straight angle (or close to 90 degrees). I checked the time immediately, 12:47 am (0:47 am) – April 10-2010. It had fragmentation at least two or three pieces before reach ground (I'm sure it landed). It was intense yellow, orange and some blue. It had a persistent train for about another 1 or 2 seconds, yellow to white before it disappeared in grey. Apparent magnitude close to -11. As I said, I was driving in a car on the highway (windows closed), so no sound could be heard. It was amazing!!!! -Gregory Maza
Montreal, Canada
Last night at around 12 - 1 I was sitting on my balcony when I saw a large flaming object shooting towards the ground. I'm colorblind so I can only say it was either yellow or green- At first- I thought it was a firework- very bright, but it didn't make a sound and as I recall I've never seen a firework look like it had a trail of fire behind it. I searched on google to see if anyone else had seen it- found this website- but what I find strange is the fact that everyone is from Ontario- and I saw it in Montreal! Would you please keep me updated on this? Thank you so much for your time and consideration! Best Regards, Jonathan Beaton

I'm so glad other people saw this! My family thought I was crazy. I live in Holland, NY about 30 miles south of Buffalo NY. It was 12:50am and I was in bed watching T.V. when I spotted a green glow shooting across the sky. It was huge and bright. Any more thoughts on what it was? - Anon.
Mulberry Grove, Illinois
My husband and I saw such a spectacular meteor on Saturday. I did a google search to see if anyone else had seen it. I found your site through this search.
We were visiting Mulberry Grove Illinois on Saturday, 9 April 2011. At around 11:00 pm, we saw a meteor to the east northeast. It was gold with a green sparkly tail. My husband noticed the smoke trail. It traveled from the south to the north, was about 20-30 degrees above the horizon, and had about a 45 degree slope to the trajectory (from higher in the sky to lower).
We hope this is detailed enough for your records. Unfortunately, we do not know the exact time when we saw it. If you need any more information, please feel free to email or call.
Wishing you dark skies,

Farmington, NY and on April 10th at approx. 12:55 AM
I am located in Farmington, NY and on April 10th at approx. 12:55 AM I saw what appeared to be a meteorite falling to the north of my location. The object was a bright neon green color and appeared to be round like a small ball followed by a streak of green light. It and was only visible for a couple of seconds before it disappeared behind the tree line. Almost immediately after it disappeared there was a bright flash as if there was an explosion. - KathyBirdsall, NY bright green ball of light ~1:00 am 10APR2011
I am so glad that I am not the only one that saw a bright green ball of light fall out of the sky and "explode" into a bright light and then disappear. I was driving home(Dansville, NY) around 1:00 am on April 10, 2011 on a back road in a small town, Birdsall, NY. I was the only car on the road. The sky was clear with very little stars. At least I had a friend with me so I wasn't totally losing my mind! I wanted to follow it by friend said "no." Thanks for the reasures that we weren't seeing things. - Wendy

Toledo, OH
Me and my friend saw a large green meteor in Toledo, OH last night (4/9/11) just before 12am. It never faded or slowed as long as we saw it. It's approximate direction was heading NW. Such an amazing thing to see. Never seen a green one... Anon.
Auburn, New York Green Light at 12:45 am 10APR2011
At 12:45 am I was standing outside in Auburn, New York (about 25 miles west of Syracuse) with a friend. His eyes got wide and I looked up and we watched a very bright greenish-blue... light... fly rapidly from southern horizon over the northern horizon towards northern New York/ Canada. If you've ever seen a telephone line transformer blow up then you'll the kind of light intensity we're talking here because that was my immediate thought.
Being as that it covered the span of both horizons in the space of a second and a half, I can not accurately guess what kind of speed that object was moving at... but it made NO noise. No sonic boom. There was absolutely no tail or trail following the light. If it was a meteor, or "green fireball" (I tried looking this thing up online) it behaved in no way like any meteor I've ever seen.
I'm not prone to exaggeration. I'm not prone to "wanting to believe" or "doubt." This just is what it is. Makes one want to just point a camera at the sky at all times. Last, in 2003 I saw, during the day, a monsterous fireball heading south by south east in this same area. It made the news. That one was fiery orange and red and left a brilliant trail. This one last night looked nothing like the 2003 fireball. Then again, daylight could make the difference. -Timmy J.
O'Fallon MO tonight around 11pm 9APR2011
I saw a light shoot through the sky tonight around 11pm. It looked like a shooting star or a comet but it was so large. It had to be really close or really big. It was glowing kind of green. If you have any idea what this could be would you reply to my email? It really was strange.

Large greenish and white fireball that burned out 20 to 25 degrees over the horizon as we looked due north. Fireball was moving east to west. Later wrote: I double checked the area where we watched the fireball on google earth, and the direction I was looking was directly northeast, not north, which means the path of the fireball was southeast to northwest.

West Olive, Michigan green meteor at approximately 11:55 PM EST, April 9.
green meteor at approximately 11:55 PM EST, April 9.I am located in West Olive, Michigan. I was walking west towards my house and observed a large green object in the SW sky, just above the trees (probably 20-25 degrees above the horizon). It was traveling westward, and was faster than any airplane. It seemed to have red in it also, but was predominantly green. It had a small trail behind it, but the trail quickly disappeared behind it. It was irregular in shape. I lost sight of it as it travelled past the treeline on the horizon to my SW. I observed it for approxiamtely 3 seconds after initially sighting it. My daughter was with me and she saw it also.

I was driving North on I-65 between Franklin and Brentwood Tennessee around 11pm on Saturday, April 9, 2011 when I very briefly, perhaps a second or two, saw a fire ball in the general direction of North. It appeared to be going straight down. I took note of it because it was so bright. I knew it was pretty far away, but not that far.

Kingston, Ontario huge fireball blueish/greenish 12:50 am 10APR2011
I live in Kingston, Ontario. This morning at about 12:50 I looked out my rear window and saw a huge fireball dropping almost vertically through overcast skies, disappearing behind a ridge to the west. It had an enormous tail, almost as thick as the fireball itself. Holding my hand at arm's length for comparison, it was as long as the width of my palm. Both the head of the fireball and the tail were lit up with a blueish/greenish light. I took a drive to the west along Taylor-Kidd Boulevard, stopping on a rail overpass bridge to check for fires or emergency activity ( it was THAT close!) but saw none. I got as far as the dock for the Amherst Island ferry before turning back. I talked with a couple of constables who had stopped beside the road ( speed-trap ) and asked them if anyone had reported a fireball, but they were not aware of any. Not too surpising, since there was almost noone out and about. Further to the info I sent ( copied below) I wanted to mention that the trajectory of the fireball was from left to right. That is, although the descent was almost vertical, it did have a slight curve that rounded out on the right side. As I was looking to the west that would mean it had come from the south or south/east.
Anyway, I was glad to find this site to share my info on. Cheers, Brian

Guest576 (guest):Hamilton, ON,Canada April 10 approx 1:30am. Yes I can confirm I also saw a large meteor falling in the sky similar to Melissa. I saw it from inside my home facing East.Appeared to be moving southwest to northeast. By the time I saw it, it was low on the horizon and appeared a large white fireball, much larger than a typical meteor shower like the persaids, must have been extremely close! Glad to have confirmed others witnessed it! Katie West
