On March 3, 2010 at approx. 7pm in East Central MN in the lower southwestern sky, saw the most amazing meteor – bright white streak across the sky then turned into a blazing fireball. It was truly spectacular.

Carolyn,

My son and I also saw that ball of fire/light. It was quite amazing and though I have been looking, you are the only reference I have found to it on the net.
we were starting to think we were seeing things!

Hi,
I also saw the ball of fire that went from North to South in the sky over eastern Toronto at 6:14 p.m. It was very fast, and very large. Wow.

Adrian,

Not all meteors one sees are part of a meteor shower. It may have been and… it may have not been a part of this event. Thanks for the comment.

Keep your head up!

I just saw a very BRIGHT greenish-lit meteor that dropped a bit of red…SSW of Toronto, about 30 degrees up around 6:15pm.

Must be part of this event I’d guess but was way brighter than anything I’ve seen before!

Tonight 2/18/2010 at approxiamtely 6:50pm, I was looking east-southeast in Central Oregon and observed a very large, bright object cross the sky. It travelled about 45 degrees before fading. How would I know if it was a comet or a meteor or ?

I am a sky watcher of sorts but have never seen anything that large or last that long. It was beautiful.
