A quick look at the pending list of fireball events on the AMS website shows two reports of your object, one from Illinois and another from Ohio. I would advise you to please take the time and fill out an AMS report too.

The first one traveled from West to East across the sky and about 5 minutes later the second one traveled North to South. Both were bright orange colored and and a long tail. It was like they just disappeared or burnt out. Anything reported in the Somerset, Ky area?

I marked the time as 7:34 pm, moving from South to North. It caught my attention because of the speed. We live close to Dulles Airport, but it was moving too fast and high to be a departing plane. Any reports on this?

The last fireball we have received from Texas occurred on 2/17 at 7:45pm CST. We invite you to fill out a fireball report and to share your video on the AMS website.

Thanks!

We live in SE Texas, just north of Houston. Driving home we saw a very low and wide trail in the sky. It did not appear to be from an aircraft, but I am not positive. It seemed to leave “holes” in the clouds it passed through. I have a video also. Are there any reports of activity in this area ?

We were headed north in Carroll County New Hampshire. I haven’t seen much reported on this. It was really something to see!

There are times when the atmosphere actually enhances contrails causing them to grow longer and wider. If the sun is at the right angle it can also illuminate portions of these contrails.

I hope this helps!

When I stopped at an intersection, there was what looked like a cloud, sort of ,but illuminated a little. Then when I got home my daughter saw a similar “cloud”, which disappeared quickly. Does anyone have any idea what this was?
