Jane and All,

It’s a possibility but we need a more detailed account to be certain. Details like the duration of the light and the time delay between the light and the sound is important.

Shirley and All,

It was most likely a fireball, which is a meteor that is brighter than normal. They can be bright enough to be seen during the day so penetrating the haze of Louisiana should not be a problem.

I just saw a green fire ball. It was a fairly large on that lasted just over 2 sec. I saw it from south west Fort Worth Texas. I was looking North West. I have never seen a bright green fire ball before. I think it probably made impact somwhere North West of Fort Worth.

My son and I saw what we thought was a shooting star around 10 pm tonight — it was in an area just north of Baton Rouge; we usually have too much humidity in the air to see anything here — can some one tell me what it was? I made a wish.

Continued – the fire ball I seen on4-12-12 came in east and headed south, and it looked like it exploded just before it hit the ground, about tree top level.

I seen what start off looking like a small meteor then got much bigger it started off as a white streak then turned red as it came thru atmosphere then quickly went from blue to yellow to green, the meteor was pretty large. the odd thing was it seemed like the meteor was long instead of being round. Seen it 04-12-12 in Atlantic county new Jersey. Between 6 pm -7 pm just before it got dark. I haven’t. Seen any other reports of anything that day …..

For several hours, starting late in the evening of 05/30/2012, through the morning of 05/31/2012, a Meteor Storm occurred, peaking around 01:30 CDT. Detected by my Space RADAR Receiver, I recorded between 7 and 20 Meteors per minute. Since the beginning of 2012, I have only witnessed this dense a Storm twice, the previous two times did not last nearly as long as this recent Storm.

I saw the same thing in Titusville. My husband and I were sitting on our backporch and saw this bright white ball with a short blue/red streak across the sky. Glad to see someone else saw it….I couldn’t find anything online.
