29APR2013 Steve Land O Lakes, Fl 1:24 A.M. 4 Seconds North Green Blue  Vibrant Sun No None

29APR2013 STEPHANIE NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FL. US 01:22 EST 3-4 SECONDS Facing West. Traveling from north to south, like right to left. Green/Blue straight streak of light. Bright like the sun, lit up the yard with greenish-blue light. NO It was bright enought that I could see it after it was gone, kinda like if you look at a light or the sun and look away but can still see it.

  I saw the first fireball at 1:30 am. It lit up the whole yard and drew my eyes to the sky. I saw a teal colored streak in the sky with a break in the middle. Two minutes later I saw another small one. Five minutes later I heard a big boom to the east. I'm in Ocala National Forest in Paisley. -Jamie Archer
