Spotted it out the window as I was somewhere over-land perhaps 15 mins into the flight. I thought it was some idiot firing a firework at the aircraft, but soon realised we were far too high for that.

I forgot about it until today reading about the Geminids, so googled the date and this was almost the exact time.

The odd thing is, I wasn’t sitting with my nose pressed against the window, but just happened to be looking out, so I wasn’t looking too high – I wonder how low it came..?

Amazing.

My wife mentionshow bright the stars are. I glanced looking NE and saw a huge fire ball traveling south for about 2 seconds @ 8:20pm Nov 6th 2012. Just happens to be my birthday. Wow that was cool. Ive seen shooting stars but never a fireball. It looked very close, not traveling as fast as you might think it would.

We were up there taking a rest from ATV’n and were lucky enough to spot this. It was a massive Red/Orange flame that ran accross the sky to the NE. It was an incredible sight!

(Raleigh area) I saw this yellow/orange ball traveling South to North, I have yet to find anyone else to validate what I saw but I would call it a “fireball” – It was incredible. My friends think I drank “moonshine”. LOL. It was the most amazing thing to see. I wish it could be confirmed. I even contacted the local news station – but no response.

I think the guy in front of me must have seen it too as he tapped his brakes for a second. I was unreal!

You can see many sighting on YOUTUBE from the UK. I am still trying to research it and our mainstream news seem to be trying whitewash the whole thing.

My sister and I were sitting on our dock on Lake George around 8:30 on friday night 9/21, we saw a streak of light in the western sky above the mountains. An orange ball lit up the sky and seemed to explode then disintegrate. This all happened within 10 seconds. An amazing sight.

It was heading away from my location. I was in Central New Jersey.
