Took the dog outside about 9:30 PM.on 12/4/12 I happened to look up in the sky and saw this fireball coming towards me. I was kind of freaked out because it looked like it was low in the sky and I thought it was going to fall to earth. I watched it for about 10 seconds while it passed by. It was bright orange and had a tail to it. I even called the police and asked if anyone else had reported it. They said no. It was traveling from North East to South West. I live in Farmington Minnesota.

Saw fireball Dec. 4 at app. 9:30 in northwestern sky. Was bluish in color, like a LED light. Extremely large and bright with a tail that lingered for a minute or more. Was very slow moving, had nothing to do with the not toddies consumed.

me and my daughter saw this coming home from dance class, while in the car, she pointed it out to me, or I would have missed it.

My husband and I were out walking our dog (12/04/2012 Madison, WI ) and I saw what I thought was a Aircraft moving fast across the sky than it occurred to me that it was moving to fast for a Airplane, the closer it got to the earth I could see that it was a Fireball/Meteorite. I got so excited that I posted it on my FaceBook page the next day.

I saw it here in Overland Park, Kansas. I was leaving work and happened to look up and see this amazing site. And to know that this happens only once or twice in a lifetime makes it priceless!

My boyfriend and I saw this exact thing at around that same time here in Janesville, WI. We were driving on I-90, on our way home from the movies. We were hoping someone else saw it too, so it didn’t seem like we were crazy! It happened really fast, it was there and gone before I could get my phone out for a photo.

My wife and I live in Southern Indiana ( Mt. Vernon IN.) While in our outdoor hot tub on 12-04-12 around 9:30 we saw the meteor. We could even see a smoke trail lit by the moonlight once the meteor burned out. Igt was traveling in a westward direction.
