Great link Curious!

Pretty sick link. Confirms, but is there a vid? I just see text

Sorry,

i don't see how someone had time to capture it on film, unless they were already filming when it happened.

Bump for doom.

They had these thing before the Sumatra quake.

Someone promised one but I have my doubts. Im a photographer and short of having iut aimed up at that exact moment I dont see how you could get it.

Are there any stationary sky cams in the area?


While looking around I saw this site, It seems others have been seeing odd lights too.

Reports now on twitter of a meteor, mostly saw NY checking in.

Another satelite entering atmosphere (my opinion) that NASA was sure would burn up completely in atmosphere.

Great report Keep it up Team RamRod

OP Did it definately have a definable tail? Or was it just a firey orange bright light?

I saw one in the DFW area on 9/4! I made a thread about it here too. I am glad that you were able to see the same type of fireball too as it was so neat with the large size and different colors!

I wonder why there have been so many of them this month???

probably this......

Yo, this shit happens all the time.

I have seen HUGE FIREBALLS ripe through the sky

IN UP-STATE NY

Earth is getting hit by something like every 5 minutes, unless they are huge... they burn up in the air

That is what you saw.

If you watch the sky a lot you will see them more often.

It is the none-fire things I have seen in the sky that freak me out.

Hope someone got video of it.


Back in 04 I saw my first fireball, it was a jaw dropping experience. I stepped outside to whistle for my dog at around 2am and I heard a faint crackling noise like a sparkler overhead, looked up and saw a slow moving orange red ball with a yellow tail. I watched it for about 3 seconds until it disappeared over the horizon. It was moving southeast.

THANKS FOR THE LINK!!!!!

So nice to be validated once in a while.

Looking forward to seeing it!

Did it appear to be man-made?

I have watched the Skies my entire life and I havent seen them regularly. Im pretty sure its a once in a lifetime thing. This was the size of a semi from my perspective.

as someone just said JAW DROPPING to saw the least

fireballs move so fast that unless somebody already has a camera pointed at the sky its not going to be captured. You are going to have to accept OP's obvious enthusiasm plus others.

Part of me was convinced it was part of the sattelite.
Kinda football shaped. But it went by pretty fast so I just couldnt say

Is there a known meteor shower coming up? Is this normal?

It happened and others had to have seen it. And yeah NO way to get a camera ready for that, just to fast.

I loked like a baseball ball with a poined handle behind it. LONG and thick

ok thanx

ok OP i'll give you the benefit of the doubt, We'll find out soon if you really did see this thing.

I second that. We need to find video of this.

I know Mass and CT, and NH saw it
