TIMES
After a great misery for mankind an even greater approaches. The great cycle of the centuries is renewed: It will rain blood, milk, famine, war and disease.In the sky will be seen a fire, dragging a tail of sparks.Kannur block panchayat President Shaija M collected a sample of the mysterious red rainwater. It was dark and had the smell of raw beetroot. His first thought was that an animal had been killed and its blood had mixed with the rainwater in the courtyard.
5 seconds duration - Traveling north west. It looked greenish in color. As bright as a full moon. I could see a tail with debris as it flared out in the sky.15 November 2012 - Kevin. Monumental, West Virginia 06:40 EST

5 seconds duration - Northeast to west. I was facing Northeast. White color at first, then green - no sound. Venus brightness. Trail of sparks visible. It looked like a star at first but I noticed it was moving very fast and then before I knew it, it was almost right above me and faded out as sparks streamed off the back and the flame turned green.
4 secs duration - North to south. Bright white, including trail. Brighter than Venus, remained bright for 3 secs until it trailed off.05 November 2012 - Kathy, White Plains, NY, US 20:35 EST
Approximately 3-5 seconds duration - I was driving West and noticed a large white ball, traveling possibly from N-E towards S-W. I was in a car, so I didn't hear anything. Bright as Venus... had a bring white tail following it. It was awesome.
Approx 4 secs duration - Western trajectory. Large, white, bright ball falling and the faded out moon... had what looked like a tail, it faded out slowly and was very big.08 November 2012 - Braeden Miller, Tottenham, ON, Canada 21:07:00
3 secs duration - Facing north, went down to the left. Yellow sparks, brighter than the moon. Noticed it while inside watching TV. Looked similar to a sparkler. Was the brightest meteor I've ever seen. It surprised and startled me. Seemed to last a few seconds.08 November 2012 Rick Lash, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 21:05:00
