It was in the SE sky and was amazing! It looked very close but must not have been. My brother saw it at the same time on New Brunswick Road in Shelby County TN.

It started as a sudden spherical burst that was dark green in color, then a dark green trail shot down from it in a narrow, perfectly straight line (almost like a laser) from east to west. It appeared to be very high in the sky and faded after about 2 seconds. I’m no expert; but, with so many reports of this phenomenon, I wonder if we’re seeing bits of space junk falling back to earth, possibly something with a composition which burns with a green flame.

on the morning of October 30th. I was traveling east on Hwy 94 east of Hermann, MO and looked south when I saw a large white streak heading downward at about 45 degrees heading from West to East and seem to explode in dark green and vanish in what seem to
be just above the hills above the Missouri River. But reading what others have seen probably wasn’t that close. IT WAS AWESOME!

I immediately heard a tremendously loud impact clap. I know no one else that heard or saw it.

Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:07:50 +0000 http://www.amsmeteors.org/?p=1970#comment-26603 I filed a fireball meteor report on this site on the one I witnessed at 5:30 p.m. on October 30th. I don’t think it’s been processed yet…perhaps “pending?” I am still stunned over what I saw. I do hope this one gets investigated as it was quite dramatic. I live in Homewood, a community just to the south of Birmingham, AL. I was facing N/NW when I saw it descend in an up to down direction in the sky. Amazing.

I think they were meteors, around 7 or 8 of them. Never witnessed this before. Beautiful!!

It fell really close to the ground before buring out. I was with my mother and we both seen it.

The time is off, though. I saw this around 5:15-5:30PM on Tuesday, October 30th. Did anyone else see this or could this be the same thing? It looked like something on fire flying through the atmosphere. Way too high to be a firework.

And we think we saw a shooting star. It looked like it had “sparks” coming from it. My friend said that if it was a meteor or a shooting star, that would be parts of the meteor breaking off. It was definitely going to fast to be a plane. And it was unlike anything I had seen before.
