Whitehorse, Yukon Canada Meteor 30APR2011

Whitehorse, Yukon Canada April 30 1:00 a.m Meteor seen in Northern Canada
I just wanted to let you know this meteor was seen in Whitehorse, Yukon. We are located beside Alaska. My son was out with his friends late that night on a sand dune and they described it as a large, flourescent bluish whiteish ball with a lot of debris trailing behind it. I can't believe something like this was large enough to be seen from such far distances! They did not hear any sonic boom, but a swooshing static noise.
Marie Langenhan  Thank you Marie!


Whitehorse,Yukon at app 1-1:30 a.m. early morn on April 30/11
This Meteor was also seen in Whitehorse,Yukon at app 1-1:30 a.m. early morn on April 30/11. It was very large and a bright flourescent white and blueish color, with a trail of debris falling behind it. It also changed colors as it fell. There was a quiet static noise heard like a swoosh. My son was with his friends high on a sand dune when he saw it. I can't believe this was seen from such far distances as we are just beside Alaska in Canada. -Anon.

I-40 in Arizona

Flagstaff, AZ
I was in Flagstaff, AZ in the woods outside my cabin, at about 8:30 pm on April 30. It was quite cold and clear. The entire landscape suddenly lit up as if there were a very bright search light illuminating everything around me. It seemed the brilliance of ten full moons on a clear night. I turned to the northeast and saw the bightest blue-white-green meteorite I have ever seen. It was intially a large ball of light as it moved to the north/northeast, dissipating as it traveled and then faded out. It was truly spectacular. I shouted out loud in spite of myself for the magnificence of it. A real wonderment.
