Galveston, TX Meteor 2:30 am 25JUN2011
Guest643 (guest):Three of us saw a meteor @around 2:30am this past Saturday. We were near Galveston,staying @ Indian Beach. Really incredible sign.
It was low in the Southern sky,moving Northeast. Very large - huge white ball with a screaming tail -all of which had a bluish, redish glow. It was really bright - lit up everything around us and then as quickly it was gone, but not just before,glowing ever brighter. All three of us just yelled,loudly, in complete disbelief of what we'd just saw. It was the kind of thing you always hope you'll see -and then you do - and the real thing is so much better than anything you could have imagined. Thank you!

Leesville, Louisiana Bright Meteor ~9:15 pm 25JUN2011
Date: Sat June 25 2011 at approximately 915pm EST.
Location: Eastern part of Leesville Louisiana
Saw a brightness coming straight down from the sky, not sure where it started, once i focused in and saw what it was i was amazed. It was a bright white ball(closer in brightness to the moon than venus) with a glowing orange fire-like tail behind it. It was moving more diagonally southwest in direction from where i watched it from but it disappeared behind my work building probably in about 4-5 seconds. Could not tell about its true size or distance from where I was but was not small.
No time at all for any photo or video. Glad I found your site.
Angie Walden  Thank you Angie!

Florence, Italy Meteor ~22:30 25JUN2011We saw two fireballs almost directly overhead last night at about 22.30. One was followed immediately by the other.

Breaking News Alert! O! NEOs to Rock, Rattle, and Roll; Asteroid 2011MD VERY Close Approach 27JUN2011

After reading below check out the update page for more:

Alert! NEOs (Near Earth Objects) Asteroids  to Rock, Rattle, and Roll! Green Meteors, Fireballs and Maybe a Bolide or More!
(Issued 24JUN2011 1:30 am Tokyo by LunarMeteorite*Hunter)
This is an alert issued by this site; we will have a very close visitor, Asteroid 2011 MD, an ~8-18m rock to pass within ~12,000 km (~7,500 miles), about the distance of a round-trip flight from Washington, D.C. to London, England (NOT far by space standards), on Monday, 27JUN2011 at 17:01 UTC.  2011 MD was discovered by the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project located in Socorro, New Mexico on 23JUN2011, just four days before its close encounter with Earth. Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) is an MIT Lincoln Laboratory program funded by the United States Air Force and NASA.
(2011 MD) 2011-Jun-270.00010.05LD8.0 m - 18 m27.66.77
I expect we will see many large fireball events from accompanying astroidal debris, just prior to/just after, from today 23/24JUN2011 until 5JUL2011! Have your cameras pointed and ready to capture; and IF you have time get outside and observe and you might get lucky! Please help get the word out by posting a link on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, news outlets and forums, to my site; thank you:

Trajectory of 2011 MD from the general direction of the Sun
Source: 
NASA/JPL Near-Earth Object Program Office

http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news172.html
Near-Earth asteroid 2011 MD will pass only 12,000 kilometers (7,500 miles) above the Earth's surface on Monday June 27 at about 9:30 EDT. The asteroid was discovered by the LINEAR near-Earth object discovery team observing from Socorro, New Mexico. The diagram on the left shows the trajectory of 2011 MD projected onto the Earth's orbital plane over a four-day interval. The diagram on the left gives another view from the general direction of the Sun that indicates that 2011 MD will reach its closest Earth approach point in extreme southern latitudes (in fact over the southern Atlantic Ocean). This small asteroid, only 5-20 meters in diameter, is in a very Earth-like orbit about the Sun, but an orbital analysis indicates there is no chance it will actually strike Earth on Monday. The incoming trajectory leg passes several thousand kilometers outside the geosynchronous ring of satellites and the outgoing leg passes well inside the ring. One would expect an object of this size to come this close to Earth about every 6 years on average. For a brief time, it will be bright enough to be seen even with a modest-sized telescope.
