On December 7th, 2012, 10:15pm, my husband and I were driving north on Interstate 5, in Fernadale, Washington, about fifteen minutes from the Canadian border when I saw a brilliant ball of light coming towards the southwest until it got close to the ground and ended with a great flash. I have never seen anything like it!

I also saw a bright shining ball of light with a green tail at 6:45am December 7th. The light pulsated for a moment and then shot off towards the horizon. I’m thinking it was a meteor. I live in Dallas Texas

12-7-2012 As I was leaving for work this morning around 6:45 am CST. I was heading west from Sulphur, Louisiana, I observed a bright ball with a greenish tail coming from high north sky traveling south west across the western sky! I don’t know what it was..but I think it may have been a meteor.

Have never seen a meteor before, but think I saw one this morning. Driving to work – traveling south on I-35E in Lewisville, TX around 6:43am – saw a long streak of bright white followed by a large flash of light (almost like a small explosion) and then it was gone. I’ve seen shooting stars before but this was completely different.

I saw my first meteor with my own eyes. It was bright green and vivid. It terrified me at first. My poor boyfriend got the receiving end of that phone call and called me crazy. But I’m glad I was able to confirm it was a meteor from a few comparison pictures.

Dec 3, 2012, about 9;00pm, facing east – the brightest fireball falling straight down in front of me! It lasted about 5 seconds and suddenly disappeared.

Last night around 9:30 pm I saw an extremly bright meteor traveling from East to West. It seemed to be very low or close. Not arcing at all, but traveling as an airplane would. It lasted about 15 seconds or the entirety of my viewing spectrum. Awesome!
