From South to North over Portsmouth, RI. Test book meteor appeared much slower than your average shooting star. Was initially bright white, as it came down turned orange, then as it got further North and lower in the sky turned a greenish-blue.

One of our group almost crashed because it was so bright. By far the coolest thing I have ever seen. It only lasted a couple of seconds but I will never forget it

It was just around 8pm ET. I’m certain of the date and time because I was walking to the library with my friend and I have the check ticket for the book I took out at 8:24pm. 2/27/12.

I was walking south-southwest on School Street, Somerville MA, just before the Highland Ave crossing. The white flash lasted several seconds, and seemed to be going from northeast to southwest.

When I got home I looked at some local sources and didn’t see anyone else talk about it.

It went behind a hill and then exploded into orange. I thought it looked like a fireball, but had never heard of them being green. Just loved it.

I stepped outside on the back deck and was looking out at my neighbor’s horse pasture when I saw a glowing “ember” streaking down. It was red not unlike a piece of fireworks. When it was about ten feet from the ground it burst into a white flame and seamed to burn up and disappear before hitting the ground. My first thought was that it was from fireworks but there was no noise. Perhaps in the spring I will use a metal detector to look for any traces. I feel blessesd that I was able to see it.
