16MAR2012 Brian Canfield, Ohio, United States 2010 EST 6 sec W-SE  Facing South Flaming green ball As bright as the sun, but only about 1/5 the size of a full moon. Behind mostly.  Also slighty flaring left and right with the green fire. About 80 degrees high in the sky, and was moving slightly faster than a satellite.

16NOV2012 Brian Newark, Ohio 20:05  EST 4 seconds West to East Bright white same as sun no but huge trail I have seen many shooting stars before but nothing like this.  so huge and still daylight.  I was waiting for an explosion.  Carziest thing I have ever seen and seemed so close.  If I hold my arm straight out would have been the size of a silver dollar
