The American Meteor Society (AMS) took to Twitter on December 7 to confirm that what he saw was in fact, a meteor. AMS received reports from 146 people about the fireball event. The society noted it was primarily visible from Pennsylvania, but eyewitness accounts were also reported from twelve other states: New York, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Delaware, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Washington, DC.

So we now have 51 states, or is it 58?
It’s NewzWeak. They’re idiots.

That’s fun to watch :)
That was actually Frank Luntz after getting BTFO at that townhall thing.
Orleans reported a sighting, as well:
” I saw a shooting star go by. It blazed a path across the sky ...”
Seriously, though, it’s nice to get substantiation for the flash in the night sky as I drove along route 93 from Boston through Medford. Cool.
Saw one in the mid-late ‘60s going over Rochester, NY in the day time - west to east and landed in some marsh land off Lake Ontario to the NE of the city....looked a lot slower and less angle than the video - probably got 7-8 seconds of viewing time.
That video looks to me like its been sped up somehow. .

Maryland "Freak State" PING!

Must be a very exclusive organization if the AMS is made up of only one individual.
No. Not really. A couple of weeks ago I went out to the store, the sun had just set. Then I saw a rather big meteor streak across the southern horizon. I was white and looked like a big white ball but no visible tail that I could see. At first glance I thought it was an airplane or helicopter but then realized how big it was and how fast it was moving.
I lost sight of it behind some trees and a building just as it looked like it was breaking apart.
When I got home I checked out the American Meteor Society website to confirm, or rule out that what I had seen was a meteor.
Pretty cool as I wasn’t the only one who had seen it.
