hey ilive in old swan town liverpool city and i just saw a very dast comet style thing burn up it then flickerd into orenge pieces cant tell how far away but it was dam bright never seen 1 befor and im 28!!

Iam in Mumias,western part of Kenya.Just at around 10:30 pm east african time,just few minutes back, I and my wife have witnessed a big blue object of the same size like moon as seen from far up.It appeared to be so close with us just like 100 metres falling towards the ground.It only took 3 seconds to disappear.I don't know what it might be..meteor???

I was watching fireworks lastnight when 3 or 4 weird redish and kind of triangle shaped appeared seemingly close to where the fireworks were. It looked like the lights/crafts were checking out the fireworks . They just hovered near the fireworks , then they spit off into a group of 3 with one odd one went the other way .i tried to get out my phone to take pics but they quickly seem to just fade away or i guess took off . I would just like to know if anyone else saw this . If so please email me .
Thanks for letting me post this .

I think i just saw a white/yellow meteor near Hastings NZ at approx 8:02pm. 21may13. It looked like a shooting star but much closer and headed downwards, very fast and faded out approx 1km above land, no sound. Would be interesting to hear if anyone else saw it!

Saw a flash of blue light and power went off for a second then returned. This happened around 10:50pm,May 18th Ypsilanti, Michigan. The skies were clear, so it wasn't lighting. It was odd

We saw it too!! Several of my family and friends were sitting on our porch outside last night ( may 18, 2013) around 10:45 and spotted a big greenish blue ball falling from the sky. It looked so close! It had an orangish tail and I'd love to know where it landed. We were between Nashville and Clarksville and this was in the western sky

Last night in the North sky I saw a blue-green ball desending from east to west at tree top level. I told my daughter to look at the falling star then realized it was not a falling star just as she said she saw the lightening. It was like heat lightening. This was may 19th appox 10:40 pm cst zip 71602

Last night may 18th 2013 at appox 10:40 pm looking at the northern sky I saw a blue-green ball of light desending east to west at tree top height. I told my daughter to look @ it . We saw a flash of light. Like heat lighting in the summer. It seemed very close. White Hall, Arkansas

I saw a orange light moving very steady across the sky last night it appeared like it was under the cloud line. At first I thought it was a plane or something normal. It definitly was not. Normal it didn't appear to have a tail and it seemed like it was turning slightly. It was like a fire ball. Very neat but what was it. 5-18-13. About 11 p.m. columbus ohio

At about 11:30 PM Saturday night I saw a green light with an explosion over southern Missouri near Viola, Arkansas. Wondered if anyone else saw it?

My wife and daughter brought to my attention a ...something in the eastern sky of Australia, heading east, then changing direction to more of a north north east vector, looking kinda like a shooting star but obviously on fire, nothing like the standard appearance of a shooting star. Definitely more orange in appearance as well as a trail. Directly above the central coast of New South Wales, Australia. Interesting to say the least. Curious to know what it was.

On May 18, 2013 at approximately 10:44 CST in Gallatin, TN I was outside smoking a cigarette when I looked up and seen what was the closest, most vivid meteor I have ever seen. It seemed as if it was only a mile in front of my house and would hit somewhere not too far and it was traveling in slow motion it felt like. The tail of the comet was amazingly long and red while the actual rock was burning blue. I immediately loaded my kids in the car and alled my best friend and picked her up and we searched for the impact point with no success needless to say. I can't find anyone else who seen it and people are acting as if I'm crazy but I know what I saw I will never forget that image as long as I live. Please help me figure out what I saw just a few brief hours ago. Thank you

I live in Iowa in the USA, Northeast of Des Moines. Tonight at approximately 9:40 we saw what looked like three orange lights, they were not connected but they made a sort of triangle in the sky. They came from the SE to the NW, then just a bit later there were two more that came from the same direction, for a total of 5. We continued to watch them, they were very slow flying about the height of an emergency helicopter,made no sound at all. We live out in the country so we were able to watch them for an extended time, but the night held some clouds and once they got beyond that we could no longer see them. Please let me know if there was any military activities or anything going on...I had my little boys with me and they were pretty scared thinking there may be aliens and such.

Hi I live in Sydney's west , Australia.. Last night me, my boyfriend and my best friend were going for a drive to see a friend. The sky was clear the moon was bright and very big it was a nice night; as we were driving up one of the main roads this bright green ball of light seemed like it fell from the sky down to earth close by it was noticeable by all 3 of us even tho my friend was driving we all said to another what the hell! Did you see that?! It almost looked like a colored firework going the opposite way down instead of up before it starts exploding.. It was the strangest nicest thing I've seen in a while ad I'm curious to know what it is.. There's nothing on the internet but forums.. So I came in here to ask if anybody has seen this before or knows what it is.

aMay 18, 2013 around 12:30a.m. I saw a bright blue light streak descending from the sky, 30 degree angle, It only lasted 3 seconds from when I watched and disappeared immediately after. It never touched the ground and appeared close. I assumed it was a shooting star.

Blue like star, falling form the sky about 10.45pm. Thought was a shooting star at first. any ideas?

Hey I'm in Australia goulburn 2 hours away from Sydney and was facing west when a very bright light was fall very fast also loosing it light till it fell and just be for it hit the ground the light went out? I have never seen anything like it anyone with information play reply would love to hear from you?

Kia-Ora,
i`d like to verify the Featherston (Wairarapa) sighting,13.5.2013,around 1920.00 hours. (I thought I was delusional lol ,thank-`heavens` some others saw it.)

Sitting at the back door facing NE,I saw what I thought was a chopper with an incandescent searchlight (5000 candle-power) descending rapidly above the tree-line across the old Japanese Prisoner of War camp (the Camp-to locals) from NNE to South direction.I thought thats too fast for a chopper,and far too bright, incandescent -white, as in glowing like the sun,no tail no other colours until it exploded,seemingly to momentarily reverse for an instant as though it had hit something, gain a little altitude, increase in size by about 30% and show just a tinge of green before disappearing in the 10 seconds or so display.no shock-wave,no sound,I had my radio turned up so..., and no ground tremble.But the explosion was centred above SHW2 . My GPS is 1297. Fragments??..as it was quite low.
Thanks.

15may2013 11.15pm I saw orange long light in the sky stay around 10 minutes then disappear ..I'm from Malaysia Sabah Kota Kinabalu , putatan

and it didn't make any sounds like any aircraft would. It was in complete silence

wondering if anyone else saw this.. Standing on a deck on QT hill facing Kelvin Hieghts between 21:00-21:30 on 14/05/2013, saw a a bright green orbish ?thing? with a bit of a white trail. could see it was low and big! (with the mountains as a reference) fell in an arc. of course no-one else in the house saw it or believes me! .. ha
i'd love to know what i saw

Last night between 9:05 - 9:15pm in Westbank BC driving along Boucherie Rd. to pick my son up, I seen a ball of fire falling from the sky over the North end of the lake heading towards Summerland. At first I thought it was fire works but there was no other after this happend. Just wondering if anyone else seen this or know what it was?

At 6am on Monday 13/5/13 I saw a star moving rapidly across the sky. I thought it was a plane a first, but it was way too high for that and it wasn't flashing - I know it wasn't aircraft.
I'm what some may call "astronomically illiterate." Was that just a satellite - or something a bit more wonderful?

Around 11:02pm 13/05/13 over wellington central. Was just out on my balcony when I saw what seemed to look like a tracer round but with a tail trailing what seemed to be about 500ft above the ground, it was visable for maybe two or three seconds then disappeared, completely silent. Its all i can explain but it was extremely odd and would like to know what it was.

At approz 7.20pm this evening 13/5/2013 my daughter and I saw an orange ball with a long tail and what would appear to be pieces coming off it travelling approx west to east over Featherston in the South Wairarapa.

At about 7.10pm this evening my sister, my brother in law and myself saw 5 bright orbs flying across the sky at a slow speed until one by one they died out. They were yellow in colour and completely silent - from where we live we can hear airplanes and helicopters before we see them - and they were flying in a loose V formation. We live in Ashburton, Canterbury, New Zealand.

Does anyone know what they are?

got good footage of meteor flying in a north west path over eden park
about 30 seconds before it dissapears

I just seen something in the sky it was large and bright like on fire heading straight toward the ground north of the city. It flew by fast it reminded me of the large fire bursts from after a large sky firework explodes. Like a shooting star just larger and closer

Saw the same twice about 11 pm flying west to east in the SE of Ireland. Any idea what it was? thanks.

On the night of 11/05/2013 around 6:40-7:20pm, above Auckland, mount Wellington skies, two bright orange flying objects danced around in random directions. They were the s ame distance as a helicopter. One of the orange flying object divided into two and one headed towards the ground and dimmed. The two left objects then moved in opposite direction of each other and dimmed. What where these ?

Bright light in the sky travelling fast.Too big and bright for a sattelite and no flashing lights for a plane. Lasted maybe 15 seconds. NW to SE ish I think. Lost brightness and fissled out over the last 2 seconds. Was off to see star trek at the cinema!

This morning aprox 5:25 am, at caboolture qld Australia, while hubby was driving to work he spotted a big green meteorite, with long tail, looked really close, fell for 30 seconds if not more, before breaking up with glitter like sparkles raining in the sky. He said its the best one his ever seen and so green.

Between 8.17 and 8.20 in Kuaotunu (near Whitianga) I was staring at the sky and a huge yellow meteor with a long tail flashed from NE to SW and broke up.

Meteorite travelling at high velocity over the skies of Preston tonight 08/05/2013 at 21.50 hours. i was parked up in the disabled carpark at visitors main entrance to Preston Hospital, when this meteor passed in the skies ahead of me from my left to right at incredible speed

I was driving around 9.58pm on the 8/5/2013 in Bromsgrove Worcestershire united kingdom i seen a green fire ball type of thing come from the sky which dispersed into the atmosphere it was the same sort of one which was seen in Canada amazing green it looked quite big as well considering it was so fare in the sky!! :)

My name is kyle from loughborough leicesersire uk but. Live in coalville. Soo I was walking the dog with the girlfriend she went into asda soo I stood outside just randomly looking in the sky and seen a very bright orange streak with a yellow point it was for like 5 seconds then it disaappeared into thin air the 5 mins later I turned. Around and seen a shooting star I actually 4t I was tripping both objects I seen looked so diffirant and the shooting star was so high up so ino the other orange bright light wasn't a shooting sstar because it was so low in the sky. Fort ide wright. This becaause not many people believe things like this. But ino what I saw
