Initial Meteor Sighting Report-
02AUG2014 Gerri Davis Marshall, NC 23:23' EST Saw two segments as it crossed behind a landmass, each about a 2/3 second Fell to the east of my location, appeared to travel toward northeast Very large teal-green colored meteor with red-orange trail. Slightly brighter than the moon None visible It was too fast to document unfortunately.

02AUG2014 James Phillips Flintstone GA USA 11:20 EST PM 4 sec Started N to SW Right to left , facing west Blue/silver with flames bright as fireworks long flaming tail Heard a boom approximately 4 minutes later-it was the coolest thing I have seen.

02AUG2014 Rodney Barron cumming Ga USA 11:19 PM eastern std time. 3 sec North to south Bright white By far the closest and largest I have ever seen. Yes long stream of white behind it No photos - too quick. But felt like it was 1-2 miles away, not like most that seem hundreds of miles. Didn't hear any explosion but it fell behind the tree line as I viewed from the back porch and was still bright when it went behind trees. I thought for sure I would hear a big boom.
