I could see the large object (bolide?) and the gren fire swirling around it!The object was actually darker the fireball bright as the moon. I have never seen the swirls of the fireball before or anything this big. No fragmentation Incredible. I will never forget it.

05JUN2014 Dane Andersen Sioux Falls, SD, USA 10:00PM (UTC-06:00 15 sec SE-NW facing West Orange sparkling tail, no sound About the same as the moon. Yes, there was a tail. This is my first supposed meteor sighting, so I hope I'm not way off. I was awestruck, so I had to go somewhere to learn more. I haven't seen anything quite like it before, with its particular size, speed, distance, and appearance. Educate me if I'm full of shit!

All 34 meteor sighting reports can be seen here
... as big as your fist at arms length, a big silent black ball fringed with swirling ruddy orange flame all ridged and furrowed and lighting up the world around you...
Then you will know what it means to see a really big meteor.
Should you hear it, the sound is a sound of the thunder from a thousand lightning storms rolling continuously and shaking the ground.
The last three sightings suggest that Itys should return next year. Do not bother to duck although you will feel like it. The terror wears off after a few minutes. If at any time within the following twenty minutes you see a white flash your end is near. 30 minutes or more and you have a very slim chance.
