Meteors - Your Eyewitness reports!

My fiance and I saw an orange fireball outside of our window. It was huge and heading southeast around 10:15 - 10:25. We are located in Alexandria, VA only about 5-10 minutes from DC. I have been looking all over the internet for news on it, but all we can find are other people's reports and that NBC is looking for people to come forward with additional reports and photos. Hopefully someone caught something on tape.

First, before I began, I am thirteen. This event occured around seven or eight in the evening, when I was on my way with my mother to pick up my little brother from his friend's house a couple streets away. Around the borderline of Claremont and Pomona, California. I do believe in supernatural things such as angels, and ghosts. But I don't think it was a ghost.

So, let me began. I rushed into the truck that evening, and after my mom started the car and we're driving the normal speed limit down the street, I turned my gaze up at the darkened sky. On the left side of sky, there was trees. Then I noticed, behind the trees, was a faint orange glow. When my mom drived down the street, the trees were gone. Then, I looked again.

There was several orange blurry objects not to far away from us sitting in the sky, not moving at all. Because my lack of amazing vision it was truly impossible to see what the objects looked like in detail. But they honestly looked like stars. A few seconds passed by as I continued staring at them, then I noticed the color and how stars were not orange. My body slowly stiffened, I turned to my mom and pointed at the sky, asking, "Do you see that? What is it?"
My mom turned to where I was pointing at, then she said, "What?" Like she didn't see it, because the trees were blocking her view. At the moment, I thought I was just seeing things and loosing my mind. But then she gasped and she saw it. Since my mother has possibly the best vision ever, she saw it in detail. She started driving slowly and asking questions similar to my own. In my head, I started coming up with ideas on what it was. The first thing that popped into my head was UFOs. Then I just said to myself, "That's not real." Then, I thought it was someone about to drop bombs on us, or something like that. I freaked out basically, telling my mom to pull over and stop the car.

Jets, and planes, were flying past the object. I'm guessing that was the government trying to find out what it was too. Jets and planes are big, right? But the orange star-like thing was much, much bigger than the planes and jets. It was shining, I mean it really looked like a massive star. My mom made her way to my brothers friend's house while her and I freaked out the whole way. Since she has good vision, she even agreed with me that it looked exactly like a star-just massive and orange.

When we got to the house, my brother and his friend came out. I pointed at the sky, again, and asked them if they knew what the heck it was. My brothers friend said, "It's the seven witches!" They were ten, so that explains that. But my brother just was staring, while me and my mom disagreed with the whole witch thing. Then, the strangest thing happened. The several stars paired up in twos, and lined up in rows. Then they lifted higher, and higher, until the vanished in mid air. That truly freaked me out.
On the way home, still frightened, I grabbed my mom's phone and used Google to search 'Moving orange stars' I got lots of results from that, saying other people seen those too. Well, I don't want to get carried away and type everything out. Basically, I've seen something most humans don't get to see, believe me or not. I'm not crazy, ask my friends and family (If you even can). But I saw something...

Did any other drivers see this huge blue fireball at around 10:15-10:20pm due southeast above the Maryland sky? I don't know what the radius of sight is but I saw it from Damascus, MD and it was bright as the sun, almost lit up the sky with blue light, and sparks and things flew off it during a total of 10 seconds, and at the end, it appeared orange and disappeared. I wish I had a picture or video.

Approximately around 12:30am e.s.t. I saw what I will describe as a giant yellowish-orange ball of fire with a tail of fire that was so very bright, flying right beside me in my van, for about 40 seconds, then the light went out, just a few hundred meters from the ground, did not look like a meteor ........this was between Mapleton and Belmont, Ontario, Canada it was only a few hundred meters from me, did anyone else see this?

On 2-2-12 I was going outside to get in hot tub. Saw a large orange ball in eastern sky. At first I mistook it for the moon coming over the eastern horizon and realized the moon was in a different part of the sky. The orange ball travelled from east to west at a slow, steady rate until in became smaller and smaller and disappeared in the sky above. The whole sighting took approximately 90 seconds. No one else in our area of the Pacific N.W. in the States seemed to have seen it. Nothing on the local news????? Anyone else in our area see it?

Dash cam video from a Little River Police that captured a reported "meteor" wasn't a damn meteor... come on?!?! Why are MOST people so scared to admit what it really is! Every person had the thought pop in there minds. It is what it is. And everyone knows that meteors...comets... and yes even space junk; Enter and exit far quicker, have long and brightly illuminated tails, constantly changing brightness, colour and size due to burn up...etc
Please stop pretending that your eyes and common sense/knowledge don't go together. Or else we’ll never grow out of our infancy.

Pearl City, Hawaii 11:47P.M. Saw a bright light fall from the sky. was so big thought it was a UFO. lol! Got a little scared because we rarely get to experience things like this in Hawaii. It was awesome!

Hi there, around 11.00pm NZ time, February 3 2012 my father and I saw a bright amber/orange light traveling across the sky. very interested to know if it was a meteor?

Navarre, Florida Feb 2, 2012 - About 11:20pm, I saw what appeared to be a meteor with a tail. Really cool! I was outside talking with a neighbor and discussing the halo around the moon when we saw a ball of fire and trail race across the sky. It also looks like a lot of chem trails too - but I'm not sure about that. If anyone else knows more about chemtrails and lives in this area let me know if that is what I am also seeing. Thanks

I live in katy tx but at the time that i saw this i was in brookshire tx sitting outside with some friends and we saw atleast 15 seconds of this light soar threw the sky but it was really low kinda looked like it was going to land somewhere,it looked like it was falling from the sky,all i kno is ...it was the most beautiful light ive ever seen,hope to see something like this again :)

last night my brother and i seen a huge green mass in the tulsa oklahoma area. We seen it dip closer to the earth at a quick rate of speed, then seemingly from where we were took a hard right and quickly disapeared, i honestly dont think it was a meteor just the way it moved, ive seen some meteors and they dont move like that. it looked intelligent....800pm feb 1 2012 tulsa ok

about 2 weeks ago my boyfriend and i were driving home and pulling in to our complex and i saw this extremely bright light! it had a dark orange/red ring on the outer edge and it seemed to loose brightness and then get brighter..It was falling down to the ground and it wasn't a straight shot down..it was slowly going down..kind of what the shuttle looks like when its going up but in the opposite direction. Obviously i was freaking out so my boyfriend tried to hurry up and pull in but within...what seemed like a minute the light was gone. It was a HUGE light..looked like a plane might have been crashing down or something..i can't remember exactly the time but i know it was past 10pm. I live in orlando,fl..i hope i wasn't the only one that witnessed this!

At 7:57 this evening (1-1-2012) I seen the what I thought at first fwas a plane falling out of the sky. However the light was so bright and it did have embers falling off. It was traveling very fast to the SE.
I was in Tulsa,Ok.

Was pulling in our driveway at about 7:50 or so (I could be a few minutes off ) any way I seen what I thought was a huge helicopter coming over our house headed as if it was going to crash - it went out past the back of our property and then went from bright white with greenish edge to the light to turning red with sparks flying out the back of it - I don't know where it went but looked really low to the ground as it went over - I actually thought a helicopter was making an emergency landing - we are located on Hwy 30 13 miles west of Huntsville Texas

2/1/12 at a little before 8 PM over burleson county, texas. huge shooting star, the biggest I've ever seen. me and my wife were in separate vehicles but both saw it. huge fireball with long tail streaked almost all the way across the night sky.

Just about 15 minutes ago, at around 8:15pm CST, I saw a bright green light with a fiery red tail traveling south to north over Sachse, TX. Anyone else see this?

I just happened to look up and out the window at about 7:55 on February 1, 2012. I saw two bright lights in the sky, one after another. My first thought was it was a police helicopter with a spot light. I then realized what I saw and ran out the door. Of course it had passed. The sighting seemed really close.

from Sachse Texas

Last night i was in sarasota waiting for my brother to get out of work aroun 930-10pm and was lookin up at the stars as i usually do. I noticed something that looked the same as a bright star(not as bright as the north star) moving pretty fast headed south. I was with my friend and pointed it out to him and he saw it too. Just as he was saying it was probably a plane, the light made a sudden left turn and became very bright! it looked like it blew up or something and then i noticed it was moving in the other direction. Me and my friend stood there in shock because ive never seen anything like that in my life! I thought we were the only ones but after coming across this site i guess i wasnt the only one to see it! my friend in north port, fl about 45 min south of sarasota also jus told me he saw it too after i posted something about it on facebook. The friend that was with me also has gotten into big arguments with me about ufos bcuz he thinks its so fake but after last night we dont know what to think anymore it was extraordinary! Im curious to know what it was and why its not headline news?!?

Driving from Helix Oregon. Headed to Pendleton. Aprox 8:10-8:15 P.M. Friend and I, Both noticed it. It was a good size light Greenish bulb mass with either a trailing tail, or just the streak making it look like a trail or tail behind it.

It flew over headed towards the Pendleton area. It did not seen to be too far above us, Much closer than all the shooting stars I have seen.

We both received a very good display of it. We did not see another fly over.

January 30th 2012 @ 8:10-15. P.M. (Aprox) within minutes.

My cousin and I were going to the store, and I am always looking up at the stars. Before we got into the car, I pointed out Gemini for him again. We were facing south and a little east, looking almost straight up. As I'm looking at what I thought was a star, seemed to be the same distance, size and brightness as the ones around it, I noticed it moving! It seemed to be somewhat blinking but not really, it was as if the intensity of the brightness would slightly change. It moved from and through Orion (via Betelgeuse) towards Gemini, then curved away from the constellations and continued travelling perpendicular to how it was before, so it made a right turn, or curve. It continued in that direction and then disappeared/faded? I have never seen anything in the sky move when I have been looking. It was not blinking like a plane, instead just a constant light, and looked way too far up/away to be one anyways! I have no idea what it was or could be, I am curious to know if anyone else saw this. It was only a few moments, it really was the right place at the right time, looking at the right constellation - my constellation Gemini!

Sometime between 9:30-9:45 not sure saw a huge fling star bright white close to the ground with pieces breaking away from it as it rushed down.. It was extremely bright. It seemed soo close to my neighbors roof top. Unreal!!
Saw it in HAMMONTON, NJ

My wife and I witnessed a fireball crashing down in the Northwest skies while walking. I believe it burned up before it touched down but I can't be sure because it went behind something and by the time I was able to run over to follow it it was gone. It looked green and red with a tail that looked white. First one I've ever seen. Did anyone else see it?

At 2140 est in hagerstown, md. i saw a bluish green to white light appear in the sky. It first seemed to be moving towards me then moved straight down breaking into 10 to 15 pieces forming a tail then seemed to burn out. Lasted about 3 to 5 seconds. Larger and brighter than venus. Looked like a firework at the end and it was the most spectacular sky event I've seen so far.

3 meteors seen from North shore Auckland between 4and 5am today travelling roughly north to south direction, saw five satelites in same period of time
