OF THE
TIMES
6 seconds duration - East to West. Bright and white, same as the moon. I saw fragmentation and a tail. It was very low in the sky.28 November 2012 - Benjamin Lipiecki, Brighton, Massachusetts, USA 2340
Half a second duration, maybe a whole second. Saw it when looking Northeast as it traveled right to left at a very steep angel. The fireball started blue, then increased in size and changed to red. I was outside for several more minutes and did not hear any sound. Bright enough to see VERY clearly in a major urban area. The fireball at least appeared larger than the moon. Did not see any fragmentation, but the fireball did get very large and looked like it exploded or burnt out. Was unlike anything I've ever seen or expected to see in the night sky. At first I thought I must have been seeing things, but a friend of mine across town saw it too, and three or four people on twitter seem to also have seen it.28 November 2012 - Bonnie, Worcester, Mass 11:41 p.m.
3-4 seconds duration - Facing north, I saw it go from right to left. It was green with gold edges, and was fast! Clear as day! Maybe its edges fragmented, like sparks of gold colors.28 November 2012 - Rick Shaffer, Reading, MA, USA 23:40:00
1-2 seconds duration - East-Northeast. Light green color, no sound. Bright as the moon, moving in opposite direction I was travelling in. It appeared very large and close.
I suppose it was around 12 seconds duration. If facing the trail, then its direction was SE-NW, from right to left. I think it started over Alsapakony and stopped above Felsopakony. It had a bright white flame and was bright red at the contact zone. It looked like the lights of a landing airplane at a distance of 500m. I observed fragmentation into at least three or four major parts. Unfortunately I was too late to take a picture.29 November 2012 - Lukasz, RACIBORZ, POLAND 17:50:00
6 seconds duration. I was facing SSE, it went from left to right (the meteor bearing was SW). There was no sound, it was bright white, with some green and a little blue. It looked like car headlights from about 200m away. 3-4 fragments fell off during its flight. It looked like it was going pretty slow (though I've never seen a meteor before). Its flight path was very flat, almost horizontal. It flew for 6 seconds and then suddenly disappeared (maybe hidden behind clouds).
4 seconds duration - Southwest direction. Bright green and small explosion noise. Same brightness as the moon. Super fast, looked like it had a tail but it was the glow behind it. I have never seen anything like this. The "poof" noise sounded far, far away.30 November 2012 - Fallabella, BRIERFIELD, NSW, Australia 22:30:00
8 seconds duration - N-S direction, I was facing north. Green outline, orange and white colour. Bright as tonight's full moon. Like a super-sized shooting star falling to earth.30 November 2012 - Nikki Chandler, QLD, Australia Roughly 22.30
2 seconds duration - I saw it out of a small window. Not sure what direction. Bright white ball falling from the sky. It was beautiful.
white lots of sparks moon yes it was huge and looked almost like the moon falling24 November 2012 - David Wright Fallon, NV, US 2100 Pacific time
About 1 sec ~45deg above horizon to S, travel down, SS W. Bright Green, and broke apart VERY bright, like aircraft landing light. Yes, appeared to explode and trail pieces.24 November 2012 - Patty Howard Clovis, CA USA 9:05 PM Pacific
7 seconds Facing north Bright yellow and red sun huge flame it looked so close, right over my head. didnt have time to grab my phone out of my pocket. it was amazing. Area was around Herndon Avenue 1/4 mile from Acadmey, Clovis, CA
3-4 seconds duration. Looking South, meteor travelled in a SW direction. Very bright green, lit up the sky with green light, central yellow/orange flame much brighter than the moon. Fragmented as it travelled across the sky, bits streaking and broke up into 2 or 3 large pieces before disappearing. At first I thought it was someone letting off a boat flare, but it couldn't be as it was far too high and over land. Amazingly vivid green light lit up the whole sky to the South, with an orange flaming centre.21 November 2012 - David Vincent, Townsville Qld 22:52:00
Just seen lasted for aprox 3 seconds. I was facing North, it traveled from right to left. Bright white then a bright green. Very bright, seen through tinted windows. Was very low in the sky.
