Fireball in the sky

Last Night around 5:30
Out back about to start grilling and up in the sky was a bright orange light moving across the sky very slow and not in a straight flight path jagged movements. about 10 15 seconds went by and all the sudden the light just faded to a small light point.
my mother witnessed this she seed she never has seen any thing like it.
If it was what i think it was i am very happy i finally seen one..

I definetly saw it too! I was on 680 in Walnut Creek going northbound right around 5:30-6:00 p.m. Just happened to look up and saw it for a good 5 seconds or so and then it vanished! To me it looked orange/yellow/red and had some sparks or flames right as it vanished!

i live in texas and i saw the same thing it was falling then it broke into several pieces. I was driving home around 7 our time!

I missed it

saw a meteor shower tonight at 8pm local time. huge red line of fire in the sky.

I was leaving a friend's house @ around 8:30pm from around W. Parrot & San Leandro Blvd. in San Leandro.It was a clear and unseasonably mild night. I saw what appeared to be a fairly large fireball that had a blueish white stream or tail coming out the back of it. It was flying silently at what seemed quite slow like around 30-40 mph about 100-400ft. above the ground. It was flying parallel to the ground and not at an extreme angle or anything like that. I was waiting to hear a collision, something like an explosion because of the proximity to the ground and civilization. It never happened, but I will never forget that experience...I was completely alone on the street walking in a quiet neighborhood, when this occurred. I was on my way home back to the west bay along the San Mateo coast. Anybody see that one???

I seen a fire ball also on the Dec 30 6.44 pm
I thought I was going crazy it was so big! I can’t believe no one else saw it.
San Jose CA.

I saw it today in Sunnyvale,around 6 pm ever by Fair Oaks avenue, it was beautiful, bright white ball with yellow around it and a green tail, really amazing!

Great balls of fire!

I have been on the computer all evening looking for ANY news about the fireball that I saw around 5:30 pm.
I live in the Bay Area (Pittsburg). I was driving home and waiting for the signal to change. I just happened to look up when I saw it streaking across the sky. It was traveling east to west. It was big and very bright, and had a long tail. It also had some green in it. If you saw it as well - pleaserespond.

At about 5:55pm in Hudson NY, I saw something that sounds exactly like what you describe seeing... Any new thoughts on what it might have been?

Lisa, we saw it too! We were driving north on route 9 near walmart and I looked up and saw the fireball that you described, it started out white and went to green and red with a conical tail. It was visible for a good 5 seconds until it broke up a little. There was a delta wave when it first appeared.
