On Saturday, September 21, 2012 at approximately 8:15 while traveling north on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey slightly north of Montvale, I saw a ball of fire descending rapidly from the sky and landing past the tree area on the opposite side. From our vantage point it looked to be the size of a soccer ball. Had never really seen anything like it before. Initially thought it was a small plane but as it fell, realized it was much smaller. Haven’t seen anything in the newspaper and wondering if it was a meteor.

Just north of Nashville, Tennessee USA Friday 9.21.12 earliest morning just after midnight I saw a streak going west to east low in the southeastern sky. It exploded into a bright white ball, continued moving and the white ball exploded into a bright fluorescent green ball with a coppery colored tail as it dropped towards earth. Very exciting and unexpected! It looked like fireworks!

I saw a beautiful large bright star descending slowly with a great glowing tail behind it at around 10.57 on 21/09 in Goole, Yorkshire. It was far brighter than the shooting stars that I have seen before and indeed as I turned the corner to my street i caught a glimpe of another, what I would call ‘normal’ shooting star. What an amazing night sky!

Just saw a green ball of light fall from the sky in the distance. Not too sure what I saw but I am so taken back by it. It was seen at 8:30pm in New York by Poughkeepsie. It lit up the ground when it hit the ground; I could see the ground light up from a distance.

21st September in England Lincolnshire Scunthorpe of the hours of 11.00 ish very clear night sky saw a big bright falling object that particles were fall off behind. These particles weren’t falling they were travelling in one direction with the big ball of fire in the glowing trail. It was quiet and slow moving took about half a minute to pass it waS travelling in a straight tilted downwards direction absolutely amazing once in a life time experience I feel so special and lucky to seen it. Reminds you that there is so much more out there.
