It was traveling east in the Windsor, NY area at around midnight. It was one of the brightest meteors we have ever seen. Did anyone else see this?

I wouldn't be surprised if it were a meteorite. On any given night you may view three to five meteors per hour, these are called sporadic meteors. The δ-Aurigids peaked on September 29th and will remain active until October 10th. I wish I could be more specific with you, but meteors and meteor showers remain one of the most unpredictable science related events known to man. Wow! Keep your head up. - Meteor Mark Debra,

My boyfriend found a rock-just a flat, pizza slice shaped rock, on his trampoline. When his son removed the rock there was a hole the exact shape of the rock melted into the trampoline and parts of the trampoline are still on the rock, looks like tar. He found it on Wed September 30th and does not believe it was there the day before. The only logical explanation we can come up with is it literally "fell from the sky".

It was in the southern sky and he was in Bothell, Washington, which is just north of Seattle. Based on this description, what more likely did he see? Was it a meteor rock breaking up? I have tried to find info on what it could have been but am over my head as I am not at all familiar with astronomy. Any light you could shed on what he might have seen would be appreciated. thank you, Michele and Erik Strand, Sammamish, Washington Hello, on Sept.22 or 23 at aprx. 3a.m. my husband who works nights outside saw a green ball in the sky falling and then it light up and was gone.
