By the time that I was able stop my car and get out to photograph the object it appeared like a very small sun. There was no tail and it was not “streaking” across the sky, in fact it appeared almost stationary when I first began photographing it. I then realized that it was getting smaller as if it was moving away from me. Eventually it disappeared. From the time that I originally noticed the “fire in the sky” until it finally disappeared was at least one minut or slightly longer.

This fireball is not associated with Comet Pan-Starrs. This comet never came close enough to the Earth to produce any meteoric activity.

Screaming across the night sky, but appeared slower than a shooting star (same thing). They say it might be a chunk off of Pan- STARR the comet.

Around 10pm on Long Island, NY…I looked up to see the little dipper…I saw several slow moving “fireballs” coming directly out of the “pot” of the LD’r. The first one was mich brighter then the other 2 a saw….but they were moving SO SLOW!! Definately was NOT a plane…because they all appeared and disappeared around the same spot….but each one lasted for at least 10 seconds! I also saw several meteors streak across the sky at that same time period…but they were going perpendicular to these slower moving objects! I wish I could find some actual reports about what we saw.

It was HUGE and seemed to move a little slower than the few shooting stars I’ve seen in my life. It had a blue hue to it and the tail was really long. My husband and two friends were over and I feel so bad for them that they missed it, because I think it will stick with me for the rest of my life. It was amazing. It really was enormous in size. I am sure I will never see anything like it again in my life! Yeah! I feel so lucky. A luna moth landed on my sweater earlier in the night, during the full moon. It was an odd night!
