Darlington, PA Green Meteor 10OCT2011

Darlington, PA Meteor 8:00 pm EST 10OCT2011
I live in Darlington, PA and today on October 10, 2011 I saw a meteor while watering my horses in their field at approximately 8:00. I saw a lime green meteor with a very very long tail travel across the sky. It was a very intense lime green, I would describe it as almost neon and it was bright enough to light up the field for approximately 3 seconds and then it was gone. I would relate it to the brightness of the moon. It came from the South West and it went North East. I couldn't tell if it kept traveling or if it dissipated because I lost it in the treeline of our neighbor's field about a half of a mile away.- Chelsi C  Thank you Chelsi!

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Daytime Meteor Fireball 11:05 am 9OCT2011

While traveling home from Church on Hwy 417, traveling East at acres Rd., I saw what looked like a very bright star traveling fast across the sky from South West to North East. Suddenly it appeared to explode and I saw a puff of smoke for a couple of seconds, then it dissipated. I have no idea whether this was a meteor or part of a satellite. -Marian Thank you Marian!
