Did anyone else, aroung 21:29 EST seea HUGE shooting star,heading from the East, going East to South East in the sky in the New England Sky???

[RaceBannon]

It was absolutely huge, it was 4 or 5 times as bright as any star, it looked like something aflame almost, travelled fast, I saw it about 45 deg up and fall to 25 deg or so above the horizon, it was way larger than any meteor I ever saw, it was brighter than Venus is, larger than any airplane.

It appeared to have a red tail at first, then turn bright white as a streak, then a white ball for about a full second, then go fade into black with the tail disappearing.

I only saw fireworks go that fast on start up, not in falling, if this was fireworks, it was shot from a balloon and shot in a downward direction

no noise, no aftershock, just a brilliant white light larger than any star or planet

the arc in the horizontal direction was about 5 degrees wide, and 20 to 25 degrees in azimuth

Race, are you celebrating the new year already?

Do we have any thing (one) coming back from a space trip?

[Kimmers]

Lucky you......I wish I could be so lucky to see something lie that.....neat stuff....keep us posted if you hear any more info on this please.....

[RaceBannon]

have you logged in?

[Dumpster Baby]

It was a SCUD.

;^)

[RaceBannon]

It was a MONSTER, I never saw anything so big fall from the sky and it was way bigger than any planet

what is funny is that scientists claim that most meteorites that we see are like the size of BB’s when they start but leave a huge trail?

This had to be as big as a golf ball then...

[RaceBannon]

heck, it was so big, I’m ready to log out! :)

Race,

I dont think 98% of the population ever even bothers to look to the evening sky.

Sad isnt it?

My wife just drove home from the eye doctor after having her eyes dialated. She said the headlights kind of looked like what you saw.....

I’m in Massachusetts.

I didn’t see anything.

But, then again, I always close the blinds when it gets dark.

Maybe check a recent weather map?
