Nov 15, 2011: Facing east, I was looking up and about 10:05pm MST, I was looking at the seven sisters and as my eyes gazed southward and then toward the horizon I saw one fall to the southwest. It looked as if it was right across the street above my neighbors house. Location: SE Auroa, CO 80015.
Not sure if its a part of the Taurids, the Leonids or the a-Monocerotids.

I just saw a HUGE one while driving home. I’ve loved watching showers for years, but usually don’t think to look at the schedule to plan to watch. This one took me by surprise. I was driving home and saw a greenish light just low enough to the southeast that I could see it through the windshield. I almost immediately recognized it as a meteorite and sure enough, after a brilliant travel across the sky, it petered out and disappeared. I haven’t seen one that big and bright in a LONG time, so I was thrilled! About to head back outside to look for more!

It’s Thursday night in Orlando Florida and at approx. 8:36 PM local time I just witnessed a large green meteor moving from East to West. I have never seen a meteor this large, this bright, this color green, or moving this slow. The color looked like the green Kryptonite from the Superman movies and just as bright. I am wondering if anyone else spotted this besides me. Could this be a preview of the Draconids meteor shower?

Dominique,

Thanks for the comment. Please read the glossary on this site there are distinct differences between meteorites, comets, etc. It is located in the upper right hand corner of the page. It may have been a fireball.

on monday december 20th 2010 at 9:0 p.m. central time i saw a huge silver bright ball traveling south leaving behind a very long trail of orange. it last around 10-15 seconds. no noise no news of impact. however it was very close and very vivid. what did i see? comet meteorite or just a ball of fire? i’ve tried googling to see if there was record of something. never in my 26 yrs have i myself seen something of this sort and i am very curious as to what it was so that i can tell my kids one day what i saw. too vivid too bright to be a shooting star or falling star.

Meteor Mark,
I can’t really say. They did not look like “falling stars”, but it was certainly interesting. I hope it was not something idiotic like “searchlights”, instead of some heavenly phenomenon. They did not seem to be bright enough to be searchlights. BK

Did ANYONE see the lights in the sky over San Diego North County coastal area last night? We watched for over an hour, from about 8 p.m. to past 9. There was some slight overcast. It wasn’t a “shower” per se, but pale lights dancing in different directions. Someone please tell me I was not hallucinating!!!

In the night of December 14, I saw amazingly seen 28 meteors. And it was totally great! I’m from Philipines and I love how it came to be visible at my place, because we’re in a high land area here. Well, the most memorable part is when this remarkable meteor flashed across the sky as I’m staring at it; it was like the meteor is almost above our house because it’s so clear and I actually saw its dust trail like fireworks, and its color is somehow like cool blue..
