21JUL2013 Millicent Todd Oshawa, Ontario, Canada 06:47am Ontario Canada 10 seconds North left to right I was facing North I was in a high rise apartment when suddenly I saw a flash in the sky and a bright red (like fire) falling from out of the clouds above a tall Hospital building 10 mins walk from here. The fire was falling steeply and the colour changed from wide to thinner and white it was squirly in shape by this time and it got thinner and thinne and fell steeply on the other side of the hospital Very red like fire and diminshed fast to a thinner white stream I was less than a 1/4 of a mile away and it fell behind the building but was really small by this time It all happened too quickly and unexpectedly to take a photo but my discription iis accurate

Red ball with white behind it and a thick long green tail. It seemed close, like within a half hour drive away, but having never seen one before its hard to tell. It was daylight already so the green tail is what stood out Not sure It was startling to see one in the daylight. Spectacular.

Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-

16JUL2013 Marc Ian & Janet Lakewood, CA - US 2145 PST 3 sec Falling From Sky bright green fireball, no audible sound Very bright, as though it were a very large green traffic signal None Very unusual.. Went to check out an unusual red light in the sky that we had not noticed before.. That light seemed to be at the same location as the falling green fireball. Turns out the red light was a cell phone tower that is located at the water treatment center for the city of Lakewood.  

16JUL2013 Denise H Santa Clara, CA, USA 21:40 PDT 5 sec. Facing E; started at around Deneb and went straight down toward ENE horizon Pure white, very bright despite city lights.  No sound.  Looked like it might reach the ground but did finally burn out just short of horizon. Brighter than any star or planet.  Hard to say if it was as bright as the moon since it was much smaller, but it was pretty intense. No I'm guessing if any of it reached the ground it must've landed in the Sierra Nevada mountains or in Nevada. 

16JUL2013 Jen BRENTWOOD, California 2130 maybe 6 seconds Facing East white and orangish  Very Bright white like a fireball just a trail behind  Looked very wide and close. It gave the illusion that it was going to land maybe a couple hundred miles away. It was the biggest brightest one I have ever seen
