This was not a meteorite dropper, but had the entry velocity of as big
as about 66 kilometers and exploded at the height of about 80 km.
I have been very busy with this the wole day of yesterday. I got mixed
in the count of, into how may cameras this was captured, but it is about
15 . I may later check this count. In any case this is our new recond in
this. In addition to this, a good number of visual sightings was
received, even tough at an unfavorable time of night.
Also this fireball was probably the brightest that we have ever captured
in our cameras directly visible.

Thank you Gina!!! Great job!

I spotted a very large and bright meteor travelling the full length of the sky at 10.55PM, East to West. The meteor was also green with parts breaking off it. Luckily for me I was taking advantage of a clear night and was taking photo’s with a DSLR camera at the time. The camera is a Konica Minolta Dynax 6mp.
At first, the meteor looked like a firework and it took me a second or two to realise what it was so I pointed the camera in that direction and took a photo. I did not get chance to focus and I am not sure over what time-frame the photo was taken as I hastily turned the dial up and snapped.
You will just about see “Ursa Major” underneath the path of the meteor. The path of the meteor was right to left.

Meteor Sighting!
Hiya, I've seen something strange in the sky over Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales! It was heading in a South West direction. It looked like a ball of fire going thru the sky with a firery tail trailing. It then looked like it had broken into small balls of light as it slowed down, coming lower to the ground! This occurred at 22.55 GMT on 21/09/12. I'd like to know if anyone else may have reported to have observed the same incident. Or if you know what this was, could you let me know please? I'd be very grateful.
Thanks, Kylie!  Thank you Kylie!!

METEOR UK!
I have just seen a fire ball pass outside my house, I live in Bolton Upon Dearne, Rotherham, South Yorks UK. I happened to be outside with my dog at 10.50pm. It travelled in an east to west flat trajectory and estimate its altitude to have only been around 100m, i followed its path for a good ten seconds before it impacted in the Manvers/Wombwell Low Valley area. The ball was large and cycling in colour from white, gold, silver and blue. The trail also cycled the same colours. I estimate the trail to have been around 30m inlength. The ball its sell did break up into 4 pieces, 2 smaller, 1 medium and 1 quite large just before impact. - jcnorthuk  
Thank you!!!

Yes, from the "ball" itself. The tail was approximately 5 times longer than the ball itself. The tail remained a bright white even though the ball changed color.  Was definately not the typical "shooting star".

Massachusetts fireball
My wife and daughter just got home. About 15 minutes ago, around 0230
UTC, while driving to the north on a road aligned north/south, they
saw an extremely bright fireball pass overhead from south to north,
disappearing below the northern horizon in front of them. They
described is as bright white, brighter than a full moon, large in
appearance, leaving what appeared to be a smoke trail. The
observation was made at approximately 71 deg 10.5 min W 42 deg 6 min
N. They perceived the light from behind them before sighting the
meteor as it passed overhead. It was moving somewhat slowly. Duration
of the passage was approximately 15 seconds.
It would likely have also been visible in New Hampshire.
