I didn’t understand what I saw until I came across this page. I have seen countless meteor showers in Hawaii in August and had never seen anything as bright or as blue/white as this object. It was heading in a South to North direction and for some reason I decided to look out my kitchen window at exactly the right time! What a treat!

While the odds are long that your wife and yourself would see different fireballs in the same month, it is not impossible. Regular meteors are thousands of times more numerous than bright fireballs. Anyone with a fairly dark sky can see regular meteors on any night of the year. Therefore there is no need to jump to conclusions about seeing three meteors within a months time.

On 03/22/2012 we saw another BIG bright ORANGE FIREBALL. Tonight we saw a much dimmer white one due to the cloud cover at 09:17 EST on 03/24/2012. All moving E to N/NW this must be something traveling into Earth’s orbit, even if it’s space junk shouldn’t we know about it (so we don’t panic)? There is no way I have seen 3 metors in the time of 1 month? Nothing on the local news. Nothing on line. I was not the only one who saw it. So what are they not telling us? I always check the sky at night. Now I always make sure I can see all directions?

I watched it for 4-6 seconds before trees blocked my view. It looked large and very far away. Looked like a rocket at first.

There have not been any more reports so far which is not surprising due to the hour of night. I would suggest keeping check on our fireball table for 2012 to see if anyone adds a report matching your fireball.

At first I thought it was a shooting star as we do see many here in mountains of Northeastern P.A. But this one was different, it was extremely bright, flashed and then it was gone. For lack of a better word it was like something had blown up. I have to admit I did get a bit nervous and started think there might be some debris that may follow, but that did not happen (at least to my knowledge). Did anyone else see this flash? I cannot find any reports online.
