Mon, 26 Mar 2012 15:26:29 +0000 http://www.amsmeteors.org/?p=1663#comment-13489 I am in Trenton (southeast Michigan near the water & south of Detroit)…I was looking west and saw the meteor at ~6:25 am on 3/21/12…it was amazing! I did not know what it was since it was so large in the sky and so low.

It had a be a bit higher than you anticipated to be seen over this area.

Some folks have all the Luck!

It look like it was a 1/2 mile south of me. Strangest thing I ever seen. This happened about 6:35 AM – 3/21/12

I just had always thought meteors were so much larger. -Stephanie 3/21/12

It was traveling in a southwest direction and lasted about 3-4 seconds. my lat. + long. are 40,46,5 N / 74,8,44,W. I also saw one about a week ago that was much smaller and faster and was traveling almost due south @ around 8 pm (2000 hrs.) from the same location and again it was directly overhead. I have not seen any meteors for a couple of years and found this to be a bit unusual, especially since I was merely looking at the stars while I was enjoying the night air. are these possibly both from the same group or are they just possibly rogues that I happened to be lucky to spot? as far as I know this is not supposed to be an active month for meteors, but two in about a weeks time and a total of ten minutes viewing seems rather odd! any info would be welcome and I thank you in advance for your assistance. Sincerely, Paul O.
