I saw this at 6:45AM in Cantonment Florida. My siting was in the early morning. It was blue-green in color and traveling slowly west over Highway 29. It was very low and about the size of a Volkswagan bug. It was extremely awesome but strange.

Hadn’t noticed “likely hit near Poteau Mountain, Oklahoma.”

Which leads to the follow-up, craters tend to be ten times the diameter of the impacting object. Most of the ones we see are about the size of a grain of sand, this one was surely much bigger but if it were a meter in diameter, the crater would be ten meters, more or less. Seismic data should help pinpoint it and satellite reconnaissance should be able to see changes if big enough but every snowfall and rainfall changes the image.

But maybe they WILL find it.

most meteors do not hit the earth, they burn up while incoming or continue out into space, just grazing the atmosphere on their cosmic journey

If it was a meteor that big and they have an idea of where it landed.. it must have created a huge creator that couldnt be missed.. so where are pics of the Impact sight?

REGARDING:
“This is the end, the end my friend. Meteorites, earthquakes, floods and mass bird deaths.”

You figure a shooting star proves the world is about to end? It could be so, but all of these things have happened many times in the past.

I saw the meteroite Tuesday night in McDavid, Florida in my dad’s back yard off Hwy 29. It look like blue colored fire works.

My son and I saw this Tuesday night while driving on a busy street in Montgomery, Alabama. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. At first I thought it was some kind of firework (as it started off pretty small). Then all of a sudden it became a huge ball of fire with a long firey tail. Glad to know what it was.

My husband saw this as he was going past Trinsic/Huddle House in Atmore — He thought he might have been seeing things, but now his “sighting” has been confirmed!

I saw what I thought was a meteorite around 820-9pm today (Jan 12) up in Minnesota. It wasn’t green though, it was bright white/yellow and shaped like the picture above. It was not a shooting star because it was way too big for that. It lasted about 2 seconds. Is it possible it was the same thing? I’ve been looking around for news about a meteorite in Minnesota but this is the only thing I could find about a meteor today.
