Meteors - Your Eyewitness reports!

Hey Orlando florida here, sitting on my back porch hitting the bong when suddenly off in the horizon is what looked like an honest to god ball of fire in the night sky moving horizontally across the sky! It flared up twice and vanished leaving only a flashing red star in the same part of the sky. What the hell was that?
Orlando Florida may 22nd 3:49 am USA
Anyone else see it?

Over the past few months I've gotten done attention, not sure from whom. At first it seemed to be normal satillite activity until one early morning one aren't me a message, 4 solid light flashes, clearly timed. I spent weeks deciphering what it might mean.I experimented with syllables, four word terms, coordinates, nothing made sense until I went with the obvious, time so for the past 3 or 4 months I've been having a smoke break around 4 in the morning. I've last count of the similar sightings, but tonight was different and I wasn't alone, both my fiance and witnessed between us at least 8 similar objects in the span of 5 minutes, flashing, fading, disappearing, reappearing in the same trajectory, but thousands of miles away, sometimes clearly trying to get my attention, btw I've communicated back to them with similar flashes and fading light s using a flashlight phone app with great results, mirroring the flashes and covering my phone for fades-ins and outs, this has risen my sightings 100 fold, to the point where 3 or four will basically dance far announce me around my head in front of my front door, and oddly i'm not very worried, for now, the language I here coming from the woods however is daunting, not quite cricket, frog, bug or bird, though none of these could break beaches when they walk either

Friends and i were sitting in my backyard At around 9:30 Sunday May 20 2012 when we witnessed 12 fire balls that moved slowly across the sky from south to north They came about 2 to 5 mins apart and lasted for about an hour They were not all at the same time. They followed the same path. Was very cool to watch. We checked everywhere on the news, computer for any thing that would tell us what these were. I live in Bowmanville Ontario and was wondering if anyone else seen these.

I live in tasman near nelson, i was sitting in the spa last nite (21/5/12) when a huge big bright flash or explosion lit up the sky and everything in my backyard. it lasted bout 3 seconds and started with a realy quick flash a bit like lightning then it lit up getting really bright. i thout it was lightning directly above my head but i did'nt hear any thunder of noise but there mite have been coz i went inside a few minutes later. What was it, maybe a meteorite exploding in the atmosphere?

2010 summer I was driving on the highway when I Iooked up I saw a bright object that had red and blue lights around it, looked like a classic UFO, saucer, appeared behind the treline, remained visible for appr. 20 mins.

Hamilton, ON, Canada

Myself and a bunch of other people saw these last night in Southern Ontario. We couldn't explain it, but after much looking around today here's the answer to what these orange balls are...

CHINESE HOT AIR BALLOONS.
check out some of the videos I found on them. depending on the wind at higher altitudes, they can travel fast or slow and may seem like they disappear because they sometimes catch fire.
check them out

no longer a UFO :)

May 19th outside my friends house we were looking at fireworks in the park, when we looked up, we saw a bright orange light that appeared to be a sphere that was moving. We started to get a little curious so we strated to talk about it, we figured it for an airplane, but when the fireworks went out, the light remained still, later we looked and it was gone.

May 20th The same friend came over to my house, we had a party and then we looked out the window of my house at around the same time of night and there it was the same light from the day before. We ignored it but looked later, it was gone.

May 21st Me and another friend went to the park to look at fireworks on Victoria Day and there it was again, at around the same time we saw it before. And then I started wonderin what could this be, a meteor shower pr a UFO? Leaving the park and going back to his house one of the neighbours asked us if we saw the strange orange lights we said yes, he also said there were two of them earlier.

10 year old Ben's account of lights

At around 10:15 or so sunday nite a small group of us saw a very bright fireball moving from the south to the Northwest. It lasted about a minute before fading in the distance. There was no trail al all which seemed unusual..it was moving fast in a straight line...was this a fireball? I have never seen anything like this before.

On my way to the airport I saw a huge ball and tail fall to the Southeast of Calgary. This one was coming straight down as opposed to the ones I normally see streak across the sky and those are always well overhead. Not that I have seen many but this one was the largest I have ever seen by a long shot. Anyone else see this one?

My family also witnessed 17 bright orange/red meteors streaking across the sky last night between 9:30 and 10:15 Sunday May 20th. We are in Bowmanville Ontario. They came in from over Lake Ontario (SW) and travelled WNW. They moved very quickly and were visible for about 1min before burning out over,as a guess, the Markham Orangeville area. Was very interesting to see and more entertaining then the neighbors fireworks :)

on may 19 2012 at about 11pm in the town of grandbay-westfield is saw a bright orange lite coming from the north.when it reached my house it turned to the south east then slowly moved away.it was moving very slowly and made no sound and was maybe 2-3 thousand ft. up. my wife was able to observe it aswell

My daughter, my husband, and I witnessed a bright yellowish object with fire/flames obvious to the naked eye traveling from the southern sky to the north last night (Sunday, 20 May 2012) about 9:30pm. The skies here in the southern suburb of Houston were very clear so we watched it move all the way across the sky for about 60-90 seconds. There was no sound and no fiery tail. It was just a bright fiery moving object. I looked on the news and websites to see what it might have been, but all the talk was about the annular eclipse from earlier in the evening. Nothing on the news, either. I can't believe someone else didn't notice this! It was really amazing to see.

First we saw 4 orange lights slowly moving, in a square pattern, then slowly burn out, about 15 minutes later we saw another single one, rising and slowly fading out.....strange, almost looked like very bright stars but they were too orange/red.

I have just seen what I think was a meteor over Wellington. I saw it about 8.45PM and it lasted about three seconds. It wasn't like a shooting star as it was much brighter. It started with a bright flash and went across the city towards Makara. The light was bright white/green. It disappeared behind Brooklyn hill.

I have just seen an object falling towards the sea off TeHoro beach. It had a long very fiery tail. Seemed to be relatively low. Spotted a 8pm on the 21st May 2012

saw a really large green white light drop quickly from sky about 8.30 pm above Moera Lower Hutt Wellington

I live in nelson New Zealand and while standing in my backyard at 8.35pm (ish) i saw a bright light and thought it was my son in his room opening the curtains, I looked up and saw a really bright light in the sky, it had an orange and blue tail on it and then suddenly it was gone! I came inside to tell my husband and he thought i was imagining it, we both went outside and within a few minutes there was a rumble unlike anything i have heard before, definately not thunder!! any ideas?? I googled "lights in the sky" and got this website, never been on here before.
Thanks.

i live in westport township and at 835pm i witnessed a wicked meteor impact

PEORIA, AZ. 05-20-2012
-Wife and myself sitting in back yard saw 5 (total) unusual orange objects traveling north from south at about 9:30pm over a period of about 20 minutes. Captured video through binoculars.

Bright orange balls of light were seen while we were sitting outside on our patio at approx 8:30 pm here in Phoenix. The lights were traveling from the west to the east. The light show lasted approx 30 minutes and about 12 lights were seen in total. I got a couple of rough pictures on my smartphone but thats it. Very pretty!

Approx. 10:20pm ET witnessed 3 red/orange fireballs across the sky travelling South to North several minutes apart. We are in South River, Ontario. Can anyone tell us exactly what they were?

I WAS SITTING OUTSIDE WITH MY NEIGHBOUR AND I LOOKED UP AND SEEN THIS ORANGE THING IN THE SKY IT CAME FROM THE WEST GOING EAST .. WE WATCHED IT FOR A BIT THEN WE WENT IN THE HOUSE I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND IT WAS GONE PRETTY COOL AND THIS IS IN HAMILTON ONTARIO CANADA AROUND 10 PM AT NIGHT

We live in Richmond, VA and last night I was outside with our neighbors and we all noticed a bunch of orange/red lights traveling across the sky. It was slow enough where we could actually follow each one, before fading into the night sky. It was amazing. All of us were just in awe of what we were looking at and nobody could explain what it was! I still don't understand it! It was around 10pm.

I saw a huge fireball falling from the sky last night in Melbourne, Victoria in Australia at around 9:15-9:30pm. It fell and fizzled i could see it braking up and then disapear. I have never seen one so big before. Do you think it was the same one you people saw in America. I was standing with a friend and we both saw it together it was amazing.

I live in Prince Edward Island, Canada, I was outside last night standing on my deck around 2 am and I saw what I thought was a large shooting star, I followed it with my eyes for a second and then it exploded. burst into a red ball with smaller red balls around it. It was amazing. I came inside and posted it on facebook, at that time too. I had to check today to see if anyone else seen it and I am so happy to see that lots of people witnessed the same thing.

Hi Everyone

The wife and I were out on our deck 11pm 19/05/2012 when we heard a "pop" sound and a wave of bright indigo light spread from east to west. The sky turned bright blue (like during day time) for a brief period (1 second). Believe it was a meteor air burst. Anyone in the Rodney district see this as well?

im from the suburbs of chicago and saw a red firey ball last night around 9pm driving north on i355. it looked like it was dropping almost smaller firey balls but then the road sipped down and when i came back up it was gone, i almost got in an accident teying to find it!

I saw a huge/bright falling something at about 3:30 am in Knoxville, TN. II assumed it was a meteor because it was so bright! The tail was very think and white, and it seemed to fizzle into a blue color. It fell from west to east, and it was pretty low on the sky.

I live in central NY (ovid, ny), half hour north of Ithaca NY. Last night at 10:15 a series of very bright orange lights moved very quickly from east to west about 35 degrees above the horizon. They did not blink, they all moved at about the same very fast speed. There were a total of four and I could see three at one time, two pretty close to each other from my vantage point. There was no noise whatsoever. They came from the east and when approx in front of me either faded or moved south - either would appear the same to me. The tree line blocked them from time to time. I did take a video but all you can see are orange dots (when I optically zoomed the dots became disks though blurry and I could not hold the camera steady especially at that setting)

around 8:40 LAST NITE MY NEIGHBOR AND I SAW A HUGE FLAMING TRIANUGALR SHAPED SOMETHING IN THE SKY. WATCHED THE NEWS TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPORT IT BUT NOTHING! WHAT WAS IT?

We live in Greendale, WI and this evening 5/19/12 around 9:15 pm we saw a fireball/ likely a meteor shooting from north to south in the eastern sky. we were sitting on the deck when it crossed. Largest i have ever seen, and had a huge tail trailing it. Anyone else catch it?
