Saw it. It was pretty cool. I have seen many meteor showers in the mornings standing in a duck hole or on the way to one on the four wheeler...but I have never seen anything light up the sky like that did last night.

Found out later it was space junk entering the atmosphere.
I saw that. I was on the way duck hunting and it turned from green to blue to some other crazy colors.

I caught it out of the corner of my eye and turned just in time to see what looked like a roman candle ball falling just south of me here in Oxford. I thought it was fireworks but never saw any other...I thought then it looked like a falling star but w/ a red fire tone.

Back during September teal season me and a buddy of mine saw 4 big green ''meteorites" ,and I use that term loosely, as we were throwing out decoys. Proceeded to shoot our limits that day. Coincedence? Yea probably but cool none the less.

Couple of buddies and I were out in the driveway, none of us saw it directly but we all saw the light and just thought it was lighting. About 10 minutes later I get a call from another fella freakin' out. "dude wtf did you see that a &$^# plane just blew up in the sky i swear man wtf big flash then a boom holy @#$# a plane just blew up." None of us really knew what to think of it and were kinda confused until we saw the news. Who would've thought a rock the size of a pea could produce all that light?

I was on lakeland passing airport rd. my first thought it was a afterburner from a jet but there were no jets around :shock: . It amazes me that all that lite came from something the size of an english pea ( I knew those things were bad news) Gator it was 8:45 ish

If it didn't flash in the bottom of my bottle of Dickel I wouldn't have noticed.
