Saw this fireball on March 13, 2012 around 6:40 am. I live in Western Michigan. From my location the fireball was located south, south east moving south east. It became brighter / bigger as it moved, leaving a beautiful fire tail behind; then disintegrated.

My backyard security camera caught this event. The video quality is not great but you can clearly see it falling, then a bright flash as it breaks into smaller pieces. I put the video up on youtubes for everyone to enjoy. http://youtu.be/JFhmaymgk_w

I’ve been a sky watcher my whole life, and like many others, just turned into the drive at work as the meteor lit up directly in my view to the west. It flashed twice w/smaller red “sparks”, but was mostly blue-white from my perspective. It “burned out” 2-3 degrees above the horizon from me. No sound that i heard.

My friend and I witnessed a fireball meteor at approximately 8:20-8:30pm Eastern Standard Time on March 13, 2012 in Miami, Florida… We were facing NNW when it occurred… It seemed to enter from the north and went in the direction of the south… as I faced NNW it came in from my right and went to my left. I could see red flame (my friend said she saw green)… the white streak was visible for at least 3 seconds… it was quite spectacular.

I saw this awesome event from Redfield Kansas at about 0640. I was looking west. When I saw it, It looked as if it came from the east – slight northeast.

6:40 am I witnessed a fireball . It appeared at approximately 30 degrees in the west north west and went out at about 20 degrees. My location is Rogers Arkansas. Sighting at Tulsa was possible the sane one. Would this put the fall in western Oklahoma? Date seen 3/13/12
If any
one can project the fall where would it be?
