Meteor Report

As I haven't been more than a lurker in the past, I'm not able to post this were it belongs.

Meteor Sighting Report - SSW of Grafton, WI 2009-08-09 20:45CST

Green and white tail with brightness flares. This is typical of man made or metallic asteroid atmospheric impact.

Please let me know if anyone else witnessed this, and your general location. Even though it looked close to me, as we all know, it could have been anywhere to the south of my observation point.

Great sighting

There was a similar comet sighting earlier this year displaying the same characteristics as yours.

It's green, about 300,000 miles wide and some 38 million miles away, and tonight a comet called Lulin could be visible to the naked eye.

At around midnight, UK space scientists and amateur stargazers will be looking due south for a glimpse of the unusual celestial body as it reaches its nearest point to Earth.
